본 연구는 사회책임투자 기업의 감사품질(audit quality)을 검증하였다. 연구표본은 2014년부터 2016년 한국증권거래소 상장 12월 결산법인 비금융업 기업 1,497 기업-연도이다. 검증결과, 사회책임투자 수준이 높은 기업이 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 대체로 감사품질이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 구체적으로는 사회책임투자 수준이 높은 기업이 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 상대적으로 감사보수 및 감사시간이 높고 대형회계법인을 감사법인으로 선택하는 경향이 높아 감사품질 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과에 따르면 사회책임투자 수준이 높은 기업일수록 상대적으로 신뢰성 높은 회계정보를 갖추고 있는 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구는 사회책임투자기업의 회계정보의 신뢰성을 검증함으로써, 사회책임투자 기업의 긍정적인 이미지 제고에 기여함으로써 건전한 자본시장의 발전에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 사회책임투자 기업의 이익조정 수준을 회계이익-과세소득 차이(Book-Tax difference; BTD) 정보를 활용하여 검증하였다. 연구표본은 2011년부터 2016년까지의 유가증권 상장기업 2,718 기업-연도이다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 사회책임투자 수준은 회계이익-과세소득 차이(BTD)와 음(-)의 관련성을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구에 의하면 사회책임투자 수준이 높은 기업일수록 더 나은 회계정보의 질(Quality)을 갖추고 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구는 사회책임투자 기업이 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 더 나은 회계정보의 질을 갖추고 있음을 실증적으로 제시하였다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다. 본 연구가 건전한 자본시장의 발전과 사회책임투자 기업의 투자자들에게 유용한 정보를 제공하고 건전한 자본시장의 발전에 기여하기를 희망한다.

본 연구는 사회책임투자 기업의 회계이익의 질(quality)을 회계보수주의(accounting conservatism) 측면에서 검증하였다. 본 연구의 표본은 12월 결산법인을 대상으로 2011년부터 2016년까지의 총 2,993개의 기업연도이다. 검증결과, 사회책임투자와 회계보수주의는 양(+)의 관련성을 나타냄에 따라 사회책임투자 수준이 높은 기업이 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 대체로 회계보수주의 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에 의하면 사회책임투자 수준이 높은 기업일수록 상대적으로 양질의 회계이익을 보고하는 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과는 사회책임투자(SRI) 기업에 직간접적으로 투자하고자 하는 투자자들의 의사결정에 하나의 유용한 정보가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기업의 사회책임투자(SRI)에 대한 각계의 관심이 증대되고 있는 현 시점에서, 사회책임투자 기업의 회계이익의 질을 직접적으로 검증하였다는 점에서 선행연구와 차별성이 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Recently, ESG bond issuance has been gradually spreading to banks and non-financial private companies in Korea. However, the Korean ESG bond market is still in its infancy in terms of size, diversity and investor base compared to the global ESG bond market. In other words, ESG bonds are rapidly forming in the global market, but are still in the formation stage in the domestic market, and various policy and practical measures such as system, incentives, and infrastructure are needed to activate them. In this paper, we examine the domestic and international status of ESG bonds in relation to responsible investment. In addition, this paper explores specific measures to revitalize the domestic ESG bond market in four aspects: establishing ESG bond standards, procedures and regulations, increasing ESG bond investment demand, increasing ESG bond issuance, building market infrastructure and market efforts. This study is expected to contribute to the development of the domestic ESG bond market and responsible investment.

This paper provides an effective stock portfolio screening tool for socially responsible investment (SRI) based upon corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance. The proposed approach utilizes nonparametric frontier models. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been used to build SRI portfolios in a few previous works; however, we show that free disposal hull (FDH), a similar model that does not assume the convexity of the technology, yields superior results when applied to a stock universe of 253 Korean companies. Over a four-year time span (from 2006 to 2009) the portfolios selected by the proposed method consistently outperform those selected by DEA as well as the benchmark.

The purpose of this study was to review university students' attitudes towards value-based consumption and their influences on it to the types of LOHAS lifestyle. The statistical analysis was based on a questionnaire survey by 275 subjects. Several attitude variables included in the study such as 'attitudes toward LOHAS lifestyle', 'environment', 'charity', 'need of business ethics', 'investment into socially responsible business', and 'good consumption'. By the results of the study, first, students' attitudes and concerns about the environment were positive, however, not expanded to the absolutely positive attitudes for their future society. Second, there is no clear relationship between their participation in the community and their attitudes to the LOHAS lifestyle. Third, university students' consumption was not based on the values of LOHAS, but on the attitudes to their own well-being. Fourth, groups with lower income and with no religious tendency revealed more positive attitudes toward LOHAS lifestyle than other groups. Fifth, there are some relations between LOHAS lifestyle and the individual's economic role performances such as the attitudes to 'environment', 'charity', 'need of business ethics,' 'investment into socially responsible business', and 'good consumption'.

Purpose - This study surveyed real estate financial consumers and financial company staff regarding the components of the financial consumer protection system to seek detailed improvement plans for the Financial Consumer Protection Act. Design/methodology/approach - The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique is applied. Findings - Both consumers and staff highly evaluated the importance of the preventive measures in the main classification factors. Regarding the sub-classification factors of preventive measures, consumers emphasized the responsible management of investment staff and financial institutions; however, the staff stressed the principle of effectiveness and efficiency. Regarding the elements of ex-post remedies, consumers answered that fast remedy would have a significant effect. At the same time, staff believed that punitive measures hinder free trading and investment activities. Regarding the sub-sub classification factors of prevention measures, the consumers value responsible management of staff and financial companies, while the staff tend to prefer the importance of the self-regulatory governance. Research implications or Originality - Based on the above results, financial regulatory authorities should find a balance between preventive and ex-post components once focusing on preventative measures. Our paper is one of the first research findings in this field of financial consumer protection system in Korea.

OECD는 투자위원회를 중심으로 각국 NCP들이 OECD 가이드라인을 효과적으로 이행하기 위한 일환으로 NCP 간 동료평가(Peer Review)를 강조하는 추세이다. 각 NCP로서는 동료평가가 자발적인 성격이라고는 하지만 부정적인 평가를 받게 되는 경우 국제적으로 많은 비난을 받을 소지가 크고 국가 이미지에도 심각한 타격을 입을 가능성이 높다. 더군다나 지난 2017년 3월, 기업책임경영에 관한 작업반(Working Party on Responsible Business Conduct) 회의에서 한국 NCP에 대하여 2019년 동료평가를 시행하기로 결정하였다. 이에 본 논문에서는 NCP 동료학습의 의의와 현황, 최근 시행되었던 덴마크와 벨기에 동료평가 사례들을 검토함으로써 우리 정부가 2019년 동료평가에 어떻게 대비해야 하는지 정책적 제언을 하고 있다.

Climate change is a man-made disaster that has become a major global concern today. With increasingly visible symptoms of climate change in recent years, it has become evident that climate action can no longer be dismissed as a mere matter of choice, but as a matter of survival for the human being. To address the impending climate change crisis in a collaborative and sustainable manner, the international community has been taking various measures including Kyoto protocol and the Paris Agreement. With respect to the private investor's project investment in line with international agreements on climate change, recently we have seen multiple legal judgments which clearly indicate the subject of judicial responsibility for investment in climate change related projects. However, in order to hold judicial responsibility occurring during the implementation of climate change related projects, a causal relationship between the responsible entities and clear responsibility must be demonstrated, and applicable institutional arrangements need to be arranged. It may be the right time for global community to consider shifting not only to human ethical obligations but also legal obligations. In this regard, concerned governments should consider legislating arbitration laws, regulations, and institutional arrangements in more specific and applicable manner.
