The purpose of this research is to evaluate the quality of non-financial information disclosure by companies listed on the Vietnamese stock exchange. In 2019, 140 annual reports from 140 companies listed on the Vietnam Stock Exchange were included in the research sample. The remaining 134 reports were eligible study after removing those that lacked essential data. Using the statistical software SPSS version 25 and Excel office software, the study has selected the data processing method and the disproportionate disclosure index method to evaluate the quality of non-financial information disclosure of companies. The findings of the study demonstrate that companies listed on the Vietnam stock exchange are particularly interested in giving non-financial information to financial statement consumers as required by law, although the level of disclosure is still inadequate. The findings also illustrate the varying levels of non-financial information disclosure by category of information, as well as substantial disparities between them (general information about the company, environmental and social information, corporate governance information, etc.). The findings of the study show that the majority of Vietnam's publicly traded enterprises are less interested in reporting environmental information.

본 논문에서는 2007년 12월 7일에 발생한 태안만 원유유출사건에 대한 관련 산업의 시장반응을 조사하였다. 태안사고는 국내의 조선업, 원유산업에 대해 환경관련 규제의 강화를 초래할 것이라는 우려를 낳았고 환경산업에 대해서는 환경복구와 관련한 수익의 기회를 제공하였다. 사회적 비난의 고조 및 규제강화의 전망은 조선업과 원유산업의 주가는 하락시키고 수혜산업의 주가는 상승시키는 동인으로 작용하였다. 태안원유유출사고는 이중선체 유조선 의무화 조치의 발효를 앞당기는 계기가 되어 국내 선박제조업에 호재로 작용하기도 하였다. 이에 따라 사고 직후 하락하던 조선업의 주가는 규제발효 이후 반전하여 지속적인 양의 추세를 유지하였다. 개별기업에 대한 분석에서 환경공시의 수준이 양호한 기업은 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 부정적인 시장반응이 완화되는 경향이 관찰되었다.

Purposes: The purpose of this study is to develop and test a possible model that investigates the relationships between green investment, CSR disclosure, social collaboration initiatives, and firm distribution performance to deal with environmental change because it's become the major stakeholder since it affects increasingly global company performance index. Research methodology: In this study a quantitative method was adopted. The 220 respondents were owners and managers of manufacturing enterprises from Indonesia. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses, and the Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) was used as the data analysis tool. Findings: The study's finding shows that green investment has a significant effect on CSR disclosure, and CSR disclosure has a positive relationship with social collaborative initiatives and the firm's distribution performance. Similarly, social collaborative initiatives also significantly impact a firm's distribution performance. Limitations: This study uses variables that are still abstract and have not been able to regress the dimensions contained there into conclusion variables for each antecedent variable. In addition, this study only used a sample with a small scope, namely Central Java Province, Indonesia. Contribution: The findings of this study contribute to the body of literature in the field of organizational management and support the agency and stakeholder theories. For the practical contribution, this study provides the way to build and implement green-based investment strategies as a competitive edge and improve firm's distribution performance.

The recent humidifier disinfectant disaster has caused a great change in our society and lead the Korean people to lose faith in the government and corporations. To overcome this mistrust, the government and corporations have undertaken certain efforts, including a voluntary agreement on consumer product safety. All the ingredients of a consumer product should be disclosed according to this voluntary agreement. There were also unexpected benefits occuring from this process. We found that the concept of corporate responsibility for product safety differed greatly among the various actors in Korean society. Corporations believed that a product could be considered safe if it contained no regulated substances. We have come to believe that this may be an important cause of the humidifier disinfectant disaster. The Korean government, corporations, and civil organizations have reached a consensus that it is a corporation's responsibility to evaluate the risks of products before they are introduced to the market. However, the limitations of these voluntary efforts are clear, and the legal system needs to be improved. We suggest that the concept of extreme recklessness should be introduced into regulations on product safety.

Growing stringent global regulations in Korea poses a threat to corporate sustainability. Companies must respond strategically to navigate these regulations and avoid greenwashing. Objective of this research was to analyze how Korean companies are responding to the global trend of reducing plastic use and propose improved management strategies. Seven indicators were developed to assess companies' post-plastic strategies and applied to analyze the sustainability reports of Amore Pacific and LG Household & HealthCare. These indicators included, 1) disclosure of plastic raw materials used by weight or volume, 2) disclosure of recycled plastic raw materials used by weight or volume, 3) disclosure of waste recycling, reuse amounts, and disposal using waste treatment method 4) strategies to reduce environmental impact of plastics, 5) plastic packaging, reduce, recycle, reuse, and composting (in the real environment), 6) plastic management roadmap for the circular economy, and 7) education for sustainable plastic management. Based on the review of considered companies, we propose in-listed sustainable plastics management strategies: disclosing the ratio of plastic raw materials and recycled raw materials for all products, considering recycling rate throughout the product value chain, and not only for the production phase, reviewing carbon dioxide emissions based on life cycle assessment rather than reducing plastic consumption, studying the biodegradability of biodegradable plastics in natural environment such as soil, considering the consumer's perspective.

Purpose - ESG(Environmental, Social and Governance) rating is an indicator to predict the sustainable development and long-term value creation of enterprises, which is becoming more and more important. This study divided the ESG rating into each sector(E, S and G) to identify which ESG elements are effective in enhancing enterprise value according to the characteristics of the enterprise, which is different from previous studies. Design/methodology/approach - In this study, Bloomberg ESG Disclosure Score was used to empirically analyze the relationship between ESG ratings and corporate value by taking the listed companies of China's Shanghai Composite Index from 2017 to 2020 as the object. Findings - First, the relationship between ESG ratings and enterprise value shows a statistically significant positive correlation, which supports the results of previous studies. Second, the analysis results from the classification of ownership structure of enterprises (state-owned enterprises and non-state-owned enterprises) show that compared with state-owned enterprises, the ESG ratings of non-state-owned enterprises is more closely related to enterprise value. Third, the analysis of various industries (manufacturing and non-manufacturing) shows that compared with manufacturing, ESG scores of non-manufacturing has a more positive effect on enterprise value. Lastly, the analysis by industry type (heavy-contaminated companies, non-contaminated companies) confirmed that ESG scores of non-contaminated companies has a positive effect on corporate value than heavy-contaminated companies. Research implications or Originality - This study classified ESG evaluation grades(E, S and G) for listed companies in China and analyzed in detail how they affect corporate value according to corporate characteristics, drawing implications for what ESG indicators should be focused on to increase corporate value.

Objectives: After the MSDS submission and non-disclosure review system was introduced in January 2021, there were compliance difficulties in the field. Accordingly, for the establishment of the MSDS system, the government intends to investigate what has been improved and what urgently needs to be improved in the future, and to suggest detailed improvement plans. Methods: The background and problems of urgent difficulties in the field handling chemicals were investigated, and realistic improvement plans were derived through review of other laws related to the MSDS system and overseas cases. Results: In order to guarantee the safety of the public while at the same time promoting corporate R&D, it is necessary to alleviate the non-disclosure screening system for chemical substances for R&D, and to improve the irrationality of failing to implement the non-disclosure screening system due to information on unclassified substances being circulated. For this reason, it seems necessary to ease the requirement to submit all ingredients. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen punishment to raise awareness so that health problems do not occur due to the harmfulness and danger of hidden substances among workers who handle chemical substances and downstream users due to false descriptions in MSDS. Conclusions: All members of our society, including chemical manufacturers/importers and handling companies, academia, civil society, and the government, each subject of chemicals, should take an interest in the entire process from production to disposal of chemicals and work together to prevent harm to the public.

ESG 경영이란 기업 가치를 평가할 때 철저한 투자자 관점을 고려하는 것을 의미하는 것이며, 기업의 경영활동과 관련된 위험 및 기회요인을 파악함에 있어 환경, 사회, 지배구조는 지속적이고 전략적인 모니터링 이슈이다. 즉, 비즈니스 관계에서 가치 창출의 관점이 반영된다. ESG 경영은 지속적인 비즈니스 가치 창출과 계약 관계에서의 투자 리스크 및 비즈니스 거래의 철저한 관리를 근본 목적으로 하며, ESG 경영은 재무적 가치에 대한 '건전한 약속이행'을 위한 엄격하고 투명한 기준이며, 기업가치와 연계된 투자자의 요구사항이기도 하다. 현재 한국 기업들이 가장 많이 경험하고 있는 분야는 투자자 IR 및 글로벌 영업 및 마케팅 부서에서 'ESG에 대한 정보 수집이 필요하고 유지관리가 우선시 되어야 한다'는 인식이며, 이에 대한 일차적인 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 또한 준법경영을 수행하는 법무사무국, 환경안전부서, 인사부서 등에서 관련 실무를 수행하므로 정보 통합 및 관리 체계를 제대로 구축하기 위해서는 조직차원의 명확성이 선행되어야 하며, 궁극적으로 ESG 관리는 기업 프로세스 차원의 리스크 관리, 공시 및 커뮤니케이션 등 새로운 시장 기회를 확보하는 범위를 포괄하고 있다. 따라서 새로이 대두되는 ESG경영에 대한 관심과 대응 방법에 있어서도 재무적 수익에 대한 기업가치 제고 노력뿐만아니라 비재무적 차원의 리스크 관리를 병행하여 지속가능환 수익이 창출되도록 검토와 이행을 반복하여야 할 것이다.
