인쇄 글자 크게 글자 작게

1The fundamental mission of the KDI School ESG management is to nurture public leaders who contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide and to research related policies.
2Practicing ESG management at an institutional level for the achievement of the SDGs is indeed part of ESG management, hence ESG management is an integral part of SDG education through leading by example and participation.
3ESG management is not a secondary objective but a part of its essential mission, and thus the school eschews all forms of superficial ESG management, including greenwashing.
4The ESG management of the KDI School is based on the voluntary participation of all students and faculty & staff, aiming for effective and efficient achievement of goals.
