The seminar was moderated by Attorney Oh Ji-heon, Director of the ESG Joint Center, and began with a welcoming address by Attorney Kang Geum-sil. In the first session, Professor Lee Jae-hyeok of the Department of Business Administration at Korea University and President of the International ESG Association presented on "Sustainability Assessment Methods and Materiality Issues," while Professor Choi Hyun-sun of the Department of Public Administration at Myongji University presented on "New Government Public Institution Governance: Policy and Evaluation Directions." Both presentations provided in-depth analyses of the evolving management evaluation system and response strategies, garnering enthusiastic responses from attendees.
Next, Attorney Kang Seo-young of the Human Resources and Labor Team at Won Law Firm presented "Response Measures from a Labor Law Perspective," while Director Lee Tae-kyung of the ESG Center presented "Response Measures from an Internal Control Perspective," sharing practical strategies.

Director Lee explained the importance of establishing a control tower and master plan to integrate governance and internal control systems in key areas such as safety and AI.
Ji-Heon Oh, Director of the ESG Center, stated, “Noting the high level of participation from public institution practitioners across the country, Won Law Firm’s ESG Center will continue to provide specialized support to strengthen the ESG capabilities of public institutions.”
