The ‘Dongjak-gu ESG Action Research Association, 실리회’ of the Dongjak-gu Council held an interim report meeting for the ‘Dongjak-gu ESG Management Activation Plan’ research project on the 21st in the first small conference room.
This report meeting was organized to share the interim results of the research, which began with an inception report meeting in March, and to discuss future tasks. The research association aims for sustainable development of Dongjak-gu through ESG practices and is also examining the practicalization of the resident voting system as a governance task.
The meeting was attended by Representative Kim Young-lim, members of the research group, and researchers from the Seokyeong University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation. Attendees reviewed cases of ESG management in other local governments and advanced examples of resident participation systems domestically and internationally, and analyzed insights applicable to Dongjak-gu based on these.
In particular, there was continued discussion on the direction of ordinance amendments to utilize the resident voting system as a method for realizing Dongjak-style ESG.
Representative Kim Young-lim said, “Through this research, we will concretize the possibility of realizing ESG governance with residents, and based on this, we will lay the foundation for policy development.”
