한국수력원자력의 해외진출 관련 ESG 경영 사례 연구

Abstract

Unlike voluntary ethical management of companies such as CSR management and CSV management, ESG management can be said to be a major shift in the management paradigm in that it affects financial investment based on mandatory disclosure such as financial statements. In this situation, this study defined ESG management as “global ESG management” and divided it into global ESG management in overseas businesses centered on developing countries and global ESG management in global supply chain management. From the perspective of global ESG management, annual sustainability management reports and related data released by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power were analyzed, and in-depth interviews were conducted with KHNP executives and employees to analyze Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power's global ESG management cases. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that Nepal's Chamehliya hydroelectric project provided infrastructure such as transportation, communication, and water to local residents and that efforts to improve the human rights and working environment of technical and functional personnel could be a model for global ESG management. In addition, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., unlike domestic ESG management activities, is mainly concentrated in social fields (S) in overseas ESG activities, confirming the need to promote global management in all ESG fields, including environmental (E) and governance (G).
