YD's Diary #5 in HY-ESG MBA, Important Talent for ESG team member.

What is the Important Talent for ESG team member?


‘Social Savvy(Mega-Insider)’

‘Willing for Understanding Business’

‘Digital Transformation Skills’

‘SNS Skills’ 


In the Human Resources Organizational Environment and Structure class, I am asked what individual capabilities are suitable for the ESG team, and I leave my thoughts. Recently, as ESG departments have been established in many corporate organizations, it appears that there are many difficulties in integrating them within the company. As mentioned in the previous article, there seems to be a situation where there is a strong backlash against ESG within the company, just as it is happening in society, as the company's core purpose and ESG philosophy clash. 


Here are the skills I think ESG team members should have: 


1. Social Savvy (Mega-Insider): This skill is very important as ESG coordinator will have to liaise with various departments and perform tasks related to non-financial performance. Specially, this skill will help when team need to receive the information which some team doesn't want to provide information.


2. Willing for understanding the company's business model: You need to understand how the company makes money and operates accordingly. If you just collect and organize Excel data without understanding the business, it is difficult to do in-depth work. 


3. Digital Transformation Skills: Because ESG is included in sustainability management reports, many numbers need updating. Digitizing this process can also enhance your company’s digital transformation in same time. 


4. SNS skills: Ultimately, what is important is how society accepts the information released through the report. If coordinator have experience posting on social media, know how it works, and are interested in social change, it would be good to have the ability to predict the impact of ESG announcements on society. 


I think that the four above are important skills as ESG team members. 


As I said before, ESG is not an essential element for a company's immediate survival, but I think it can definitely play an important role in whether the company will survive 30 years from now.

YD's Diary #3 in HY-MBA, Reflections on the Criticism of ESG Management

Reflections on the Criticism of ESG Management  (Subtitle: A Tribute to Larry Fink) As I study the world of ESG management, I frequently encounter negative news and opinions about ESG. The topics of environment, society, and governance encompass social, political issues, and traditional confrontational structures, which humanity is still struggling to find solutions for. This complexity often leads to harsh criticism or even outright rejection when a minor flaw is found, especially in the face of misguided political beliefs or the recent trend of political correctness in the United States. The term ESG first appeared in the UN in the early 2000s, but it was first introduced to my life when Larry Fink’s letter made the news. At that time, I too casually dismissed it, thinking it was a bit premature. However, as the terms related to ESG began to appear in society and the meaning was sought, it seems that various places are having a debate. Returning to the title, the reason why ESG m...

Let's have a TEA~ (My Personal Service Brand since 2015)

My Personal Service Mark, " Let's have a TEA~ " since 2015 Having worked in a project team, I had the opportunity to transition to a company-wide risk management team in 2015, where I was able to philosophically reflect on the nature of support organization tasks. At that time, I had a lot of contemplation(question) about how to bring benefits to the company while performing support team tasks, but now I fully recognize its value anyway. While there is much to discuss, in conclusion, the most important philosophical concern during my year of work was how to communicate between the project and the management to produce better results. At that time, I established my own philosophy as follows, and now, after 10 years, I am proud to introduce it. It now feels like my own Personal Service Mark or brand. “Let’s have a TEA~” means the following: When doing project management or risk management reporting tasks, I, who likes to drink tea, made this to remind myself to check whethe...

This year, I feel like I have grown significantly. Although work has always been a series of challenges, through the MBA, I have learned many new words and concepts. In the past, I only knew the meaning of the  word "Green fund," but now I understand the significance of the Green fund, market investment, and its weight, which makes me feel satisfied and happy. Choosing to specialize in ESG was a really good decision.  Below, I have organized the key sentences and terms learned and discussed during the second semester. These has been giving me the many inspiration. Thanks to this, I am looking forward to 2025. Do not let emotions become actions. Prepare my own epic.
