NCSoft (CEO Kim Taek-jin) announced on the 21st that it obtained an ‘A’ grade in the 2021 ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) evaluation conducted by domestic and international ESG evaluation agencies.
NC received an ‘A’ rating in the ESG rating model (MSCI ESG Rating) provided by Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), a global ESG rating agency. It was upgraded from last year’s ‘BBB’ rating. It is the highest among domestic game companies included in the survey, and the second highest among global game companies.
MSCI highly evaluated NC’s ▲global-level information security system ▲independent and transparent governance structure ▲efforts to embrace diversity. Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) has been evaluating ESG indices of listed companies around the world since 1999.
NC also received an overall grade of ‘A (Excellent)’ in the ESG evaluation conducted by the Korea Corporate Governance Service (KCGS). It is the only A-rated game company among domestic listed game companies. It received positive reviews for strengthening ESG management and expanding information disclosure.
Previously, the company established an ESG Management Committee in March with the goal of strengthening sustainable management. In August, it became the first domestic game company to publish a sustainability report and revealed its ESG management vision.
Since April of this year, the ‘AI FRAMEwork’ series, which shares new perspectives and directions from world-class scholars, has been underway as a year-round project to establish correct AI (artificial intelligence) ethics. In December, a conversation between CSO (Chief Strategy Officer) Songi Yoon and Professor James Mickens, who leads ‘Embedded Ethics’ at Harvard University, was introduced through NC’s official blog and YouTube. It has been done.
Park Myeong-jin, head of NCSoft’s Brand Strategy Center, said, “We have been recognized for our efforts for sustainable management by domestic and foreign evaluation agencies,” and added, “We will continue NCSoft’s sincere ESG management.”
