Purpose - This study aims to identify the effect of corporate eco-friendly marketing, which focuses on corporate social responsibility, on the environment, natural preservation and protection, and environmental concern among consumers. Research design, data, and methodology - A total of 92 valid questionnaires were used for analysis. A structured model was established and a 3-step mediated regression test was employed to see how consumers' perception of ethical consumer behavior and price sensitivity are influential in relation to the impact of consumer's perception of eco-friendliness on the using intention in relation to eco-friendly products. Results - Three factors of eco-friendly perception all have a positive impact on ethical consumer behavior, thus lowering their price sensitivity. In particular, it is found that environmental knowledge and environmental concern are important to promote ethical consumer behavior. Conclusion - It is found that, to increase the using intention of eco-friendly products, an enterprise should practice an eco-friendly marketing strategy, deliver eco-friendly related knowledge, and include contents to allow consumers to take an interest in the environment for effective performance of marketing.

As environmental concerns continue to grow, green supply chain management (GSCM) is attracting attention as an element of competitive advantage for companies. This study examined internal GSCM practices to show how they influenced the end-point of the supply chain from the perspective of the end-consumer. It identified the effects of environmental concerns on consumer purchasing behavior mediated by the company image of internal GSCM practices. Data were collected through an email survey of Korean consumers. Reliability and validity were verified using SPSS 18.0. Cronbach's alpha, and confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that environmental concerns had a positive impact on such practices, and the image of internal GSCM practices was found to have a significantly positive effect on consumer purchasing behavior. Companies will have to actively reflect environmental factors in their operational activities, and GSCM implementation will become a necessity. A positive image of internal environmental management and eco-design, which are key elements of internal GSCM practices, strengthened the company's eco-friendly image and ultimately affected consumer purchasing behavior. This suggests that it is important for companies to evaluate their environmental attitude and make eco-friendly products from a consumer's perspective, making it a differentiation strategy for a company in building an eco-friendly corporate image.

Diseases caused by air pollution and abnormal climate are occurring worldwide due to global warming. Accordingly, the international community has established a strategy to respond to climate change, and major countries have shifted their economic policies to eco-friendly industries. In this study, we investigate the current status of the renewable energy industry and that of responses to carbon neutrality and PM2.5 (air pollution) in the three major Northeast Asian countries of Japan, Korea, and China, covering changes in the corporate perceptions of Environment, Social, Governance and RE100. In more detail, the three major Northeast Asian countries, referred to as the climate villains in the international community, explain the importance of successful entry into the electric vehicles (EV) industry for a rapid transition to an eco-friendly industry. Moreover, we study the application of lightweight materials for vehicles to improve mileage in the EV industry and technical problems to be solved in the future.

최근 기업경영과 관련되어 가장 주목받고 있는 것은 ESG(Environmental, Social, Governance) 일 것이다. ESG 경영을 선언한 많은 기업들이 있지만, KT는 2021년 본격적인 ESG 경영을 선언하며 지속가능경영의 전략을 이해관계자들과 공유하고 있다. 또한 KT는 국내 ICT 업계 최초로 ESG 채권을 발행하며 ESG 경영을 강화하고 있다. 코로나19로 정보기술산업이 더욱 중요해진 시점에서 본 연구는 KT의 ESG 경영 목표와 전략의 사례를 환경, 사회, 지배구조 영역으로 구분하여 살펴보고자 하였다. KT는 환경 영역에서 '환경경영', '환경대응', '에너지 자원', '친환경 프로젝트'를 통해 환경 건전성 달성을 목표로 하고 있었다. 또한 사회 영역에서 '사회공헌', '동반성장', '인권경영' 등을 통해 진정성 있는 사회적 가치 창출을 추구하였다. 마지막으로 지배구조 영역에서는 '윤리·컴플라이언스', '리스크 관리' 등을 통해 경제적 신뢰성을 추구하기 위한 투명한 기업 경영 체계를 지향하고 있었다. 특히 KT는 디지털 플랫폼 기업이라는 특징을 기반으로 AI, BigData 기술을 활용하여 환경, 사회문제를 해결하기 위한 전략을 추진하며 KT만의 ESG 경영을 도모하고 있었다. 본 연구는 화두로 떠오른 ESG 경영과 관련해 KT의 ESG 경영 사례를 통해 ESG전략 수립과 ESG 경영 발전방향에 대한 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

최근 전 세계적으로 기업의 환경(Environmental)·사회(Social)·지배구조(Governance)의 비재무적 요소를 고려한 지속가능경영이 필수적으로 요구되면서, 각 기업들은 이에 대응할 수 있는 전략적 방향 수립이 중요해지고 있다. 특히 기업이 속한 산업별로 상이한 ESG 이슈에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 산업과 개별 기업의 특성을 반영한 전략을 개발하고 추진할 수 있어야 할 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 금융, 제조, IT 분야별로 나누어 주요 국내 기업들의 ESG 보고서와 관련 뉴스 기사를 이용하여 산업별 ESG 동향과 활동을 비교 분석하였다. 키워드 빈도분석과 토픽 모델링을 활용한 분석 결과, 국내 ESG 선도 기업들의 지속가능경영 활동에서의 산업별 차이를 도출 할 수 있다. 금융 분야에서는 '고객 중심 경영'과 '기후 변화 대응', 제조 분야에서는 '지속가능한 공급망 관리'와 '탄소중립', IT 분야에서는 '기술혁신'과 '디지털 책임'이 강조되었다. ESG 요소별 우선 순위가 높은 활동의 예를 들면, 환경 측면에서는 '에너지 절감과 친환경 활동', 사회 측면에서는 '사회공헌과 상생', 지배구조 측면에서는 '이사회 독립성 강화와 리스크 관리' 등으로 나타났다. 더 나아가 산업별 각 ESG 요소의 핵심 이슈 뿐 아니라 ESG 보고서와 뉴스 기사의 내용 유사성 및 차별점도 확인하였다. 연구의 결과는 산업별 동향을 고려한 ESG 경영 전략 및 정책의 방향성을 제시하고 있으며 이는 산업별 ESG 평가체계 수립에도 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
