Abstract

As awareness of social and environmental issues increases due to the gust of ESG management, interest in ESG management is increasing, and the influence of ESG evaluation is getting stronger, and libraries need to participate in ESG management evaluation. In order to apply ESG management to libraries, library ESG evaluation indicators must be developed. Therefore, this study attempted to comprehensively examine ESG management evaluation indicators of public institutions, including companies, and propose ESG management evaluation indicators applicable to libraries. To this end, it went through the process of investigating and analyzing ESG-related prior research, deriving preliminary evaluation indicators for libraries, collecting expert FGI opinions, developing primary library ESG evaluation indicators based on expert FGI opinions, and) examining the suitability of primary library ESG evaluation indicators. Finally, a total of 25 items were selected in the environmental area, a total of 56 items in the social area, and a total of 32 items in the governance area. In future studies, it is necessary to conduct ESG management evaluation for libraries based on this indicator.

사회적·환경적 이슈에 대한 인식이 증가함에 따라 ESG 경영에 대한 관심이 높아지고, ESG 경영평가의 영향력은 점점 더 강해지고 있으며, 도서관도 ESG 경영평가에 참여할 필요가 있다. ESG 경영을 도서관에 적용하기 위해서는 도서관에 적용 가능한 ESG 경영을 정의하고 범주를 확인한 후, 먼저 적용과 지속적인 환류를 전제로 평가지표 개발이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기업을 포함하여 공공기관 ESG 경영평가지표를 포괄적으로 살펴보고 이로부터 도서관에 적용가능한 ESG 경영평가지표를 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 ESG 관련 선행연구 조사·분석, 선행연구 기반 도서관 ESG 예비경영평가지표 도출, 예비경영평가지표에 대한 전문가 FGI 의견 수렴, 전문가 FGI 의견 수렴 기반 1차 도서관 ESG 경영평가지표 개발, 1차 도서관 ESG 경영평가지표의 적합도 조사과정을 거쳤다. 최종적으로 환경 영역은 총 25개 항목, 사회 영역은 총 56개 항목, 지배구조 영역은 총 32개 항목을 선정하였다. 향후 연구에서는 이 지표를 기반으로 도서관을 대상으로 ESG 경영평가를 수행할 필요가 있다고 본다.
