ADT Caps (CEO Park Jin-hyo ) announced on the 20th that it will establish an ESG Committee and strengthen ESG management activities . Although it is an unlisted company , it is noteworthy in that it preemptively established an ESG Committee to respond to the demands of shareholders and society related to ESG .
ADT Caps decided to establish an ESG committee at the board of directors meeting held last April . ADT Caps’ ESG Committee, comprised of four directors as a committee within the board of directors, serves as a control tower for ESG management . The committee establishes strategies for ESG-related issues and helps the company achieve sustainable growth through reporting and advisory processes to the board of directors .
The ESG Committee appointed the CEO as the chairman and launched the ‘ ESG Innovation TF’ , which consists of executives and working-level managers from related departments within the company . The ESG Innovation TF is divided into △ E (Environment ) module △ S (Social, corporate social responsibility ) module △ G (Governance, corporate governance and other public interests ) module and actively participates in ADT Caps’ ESG management activities .
We also establish a business management system to objectively diagnose the level of ESG management and establish and implement improvement strategies . We plan to inspect the current ESG management status through ESG management diagnosis by an external organization and secure management infrastructure for systematic ESG management, including establishing ESG management guidelines and processes based on the inspection results .
In addition , we will further strengthen the compliance system in line with ESG management, focusing on the core business areas that ADT Caps is developing . We confirm the direction of improvement through risk assessment and risk management status diagnosis for each business area , and strengthen safety and health measures to respond to the soon-to-be-implemented ‘Act on Punishment of Major Accidents, etc.’ to ensure compliance with relevant laws and ensure stakeholder safety. We plan to do everything .
Meanwhile , the core services that ADT Caps has provided so far contribute to the establishment of a social safety net, and various management activities have been directly linked to ESG . To resolve blind spots in senior care , we have launched an AI service-based care service and are working on business planning and service development through MOUs with related organizations . We are also carrying out social contribution activities through projects to build a social safety net for vulnerable groups such as women , children , and the disabled, as well as lectures on self-defense against crime . In addition, we are also pursuing eco-friendly ESG management activities through the introduction of electric dispatch vehicles and smart energy projects .
ADT Caps has also consistently continued ESG management activities in the information security field . To respond to the recent increase in ransomware attacks, the in-house white hacker group ‘ EQST ‘ is actively cooperating with the government’s ‘ K-Cyber Quarantine’ project and is taking the lead in sharing information security knowledge for public interest . In addition, we are working to create jobs for young people by directly hiring young people selected through an information security expert training project .
Through the establishment of this ESG Committee, ADT Caps plans to integrate and operate the ESG activities it has been pursuing and proactively respond to ESG issues such as strengthening the social safety net and environmental protection . The goal is to increase the company’s competitiveness by establishing an ESG management system in new businesses as well as existing core businesses .
Jinhyo Park, CEO of ADT Caps, said, “The establishment of this ESG Committee will serve as a stepping stone for more systematic ESG management activities,” and added, “We will enhance the company’s corporate value through ESG management activities , discover various growth engines, and create a company that encompasses safety and care.” “We will continue to grow as a life care platform company,” he said .
