WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.375 --> 00:00:08.575 The Unique ESG Approach in the Gaming Industry 2 00:00:28.375 --> 00:00:31.075 Hello, I'm Sung-hoo Moon 3 00:00:31.075 --> 00:00:35.775 Today, I'll talk about the unique ESG approach in the gaming industry 4 00:00:35.775 --> 00:00:39.775 Defining ESG and Sustainable Development 5 00:00:40.075 --> 00:00:41.525 Before ESG 6 00:00:41.525 --> 00:00:45.825 let's start by looking at what sustainable development is 7 00:00:45.825 --> 00:00:48.075 Sustainable Development 8 00:00:48.075 --> 00:00:50.126 We often talk about this 9 00:00:50.126 --> 00:00:53.226 but what really is sustainable development? 10 00:00:53.226 --> 00:00:55.676 Sustainable development 11 00:00:55.676 --> 00:00:59.526 first appeared in a UN report 12 00:00:59.526 --> 00:01:02.826 called Our Common Future 13 00:01:02.826 --> 00:01:05.476 that was published in 1987 14 00:01:05.476 --> 00:01:08.376 According to it, sustainable development 15 00:01:08.376 --> 00:01:10.776 meets the needs of the present 16 00:01:10.776 --> 00:01:15.626 without compromising the ability of future generations 17 00:01:15.626 --> 00:01:17.126 Here, the act of compromising 18 00:01:17.126 --> 00:01:20.126 is done by the present generation 19 00:01:20.126 --> 00:01:24.876 Meanwhile, the current generation meets their own needs 20 00:01:24.876 --> 00:01:27.876 That's how they define sustainable development 21 00:01:27.876 --> 00:01:29.326 Let me repeat 22 00:01:29.326 --> 00:01:33.626 The development that meets the needs of the present 23 00:01:33.626 --> 00:01:36.126 without compromising the ability of future generations 24 00:01:36.126 --> 00:01:40.326 to meet their own needs 25 00:01:40.326 --> 00:01:43.076 That is sustainable development 26 00:01:43.076 --> 00:01:46.376 When we talk about sustainable development 27 00:01:46.376 --> 00:01:49.176 we often talk about the future generation 28 00:01:49.176 --> 00:01:53.176 This is because, only when the current generation 29 00:01:53.176 --> 00:01:57.426 sustains the present, not compromising the environment or resource 30 00:01:57.426 --> 00:02:01.826 of the future generation, they can also continue the cycle 31 00:02:01.826 --> 00:02:04.176 and be sustainable 32 00:02:04.176 --> 00:02:06.726 So sustainable development 33 00:02:06.726 --> 00:02:10.476 has been a major focus for the future generation 34 00:02:10.476 --> 00:02:14.426 At the UN, our proud BTS 35 00:02:14.426 --> 00:02:18.676 talked about sustainable development and the future 36 00:02:18.676 --> 00:02:21.226 The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 37 00:02:21.226 --> 00:02:25.626 are the goals announced by UN in 2015 38 00:02:25.626 --> 00:02:30.226 These goals are divided into 17 categories 39 00:02:30.226 --> 00:02:33.026 Let's take a look at them 40 00:02:33.026 --> 00:02:35.727 First is No Poverty 41 00:02:35.727 --> 00:02:38.077 Two, Zero Hunger 42 00:02:38.077 --> 00:02:41.377 Three, Good Health and Well-being 43 00:02:41.377 --> 00:02:44.127 Four, Quality Education 44 00:02:44.127 --> 00:02:46.577 Five, Gender Equality 45 00:02:46.577 --> 00:02:49.877 Six, Clean Water and Sanitation 46 00:02:49.877 --> 00:02:53.177 Seven, Affordable and Clean Energy 47 00:02:53.177 --> 00:02:56.877 Eight, Decent Work and Economic Growth 48 00:02:56.877 --> 00:03:01.727 Nine, Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure 49 00:03:01.727 --> 00:03:05.127 Ten, Reduced Inequality 50 00:03:05.127 --> 00:03:09.227 Eleven, Sustainable Cities and Communities 51 00:03:09.227 --> 00:03:12.927 Twelve, Responsible Consumption and Production 52 00:03:12.927 --> 00:03:15.527 Thirteen, Climate Action 53 00:03:15.527 --> 00:03:18.377 Fourteen, Life Below Water 54 00:03:18.377 --> 00:03:21.127 Fifteen, Life on Land 55 00:03:21.127 --> 00:03:25.127 Sixteen, Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions 56 00:03:25.127 --> 00:03:29.227 Seventeen, Partnerships 57 00:03:29.227 --> 00:03:30.977 for the Goals 58 00:03:30.977 --> 00:03:34.377 When these 17 goals a re fulfilled 59 00:03:34.377 --> 00:03:36.877 it achieves the SDGs 60 00:03:36.877 --> 00:03:39.927 The result of which 61 00:03:39.927 --> 00:03:42.027 is the sustainable humanity 62 00:03:42.027 --> 00:03:46.827 The official advocate of the SDGs 63 00:03:46.827 --> 00:03:49.127 is BLACKPINK from South Korea 64 00:03:49.127 --> 00:03:52.577 BLACKPINK and BTS 65 00:03:52.577 --> 00:03:55.627 talk about the sustainable development at the UN 66 00:03:55.627 --> 00:04:00.277 And they're doing a great job promoting the UN's sustainable development goals 67 00:04:00.277 --> 00:04:03.027 Because they are the future generation 68 00:04:03.027 --> 00:04:08.178 they promote the sustainable development goals 69 00:04:08.178 --> 00:04:11.778 that the UN is urging for globally 70 00:04:11.778 --> 00:04:15.828 They're also encouraging people to take action 71 00:04:15.828 --> 00:04:20.478 17 years later, in 2004 72 00:04:20.478 --> 00:04:23.378 UN publishes another report 73 00:04:23.378 --> 00:04:29.178 The title of the report 74 00:04:29.178 --> 00:04:33.978 was Who Cares Wins 75 00:04:33.978 --> 00:04:39.178 This report is where they talk about ESG for the first time 76 00:04:39.178 --> 00:04:42.578 ESG stands for 77 00:04:42.578 --> 00:04:47.878 Environmental, Social, and Governance 78 00:04:47.878 --> 00:04:50.778 Let's pause and think about it 79 00:04:50.778 --> 00:04:55.278 We know that ESG stands for environmental 80 00:04:55.278 --> 00:04:58.678 social, and governance 81 00:04:58.678 --> 00:05:00.978 But why the adjective? 82 00:05:00.978 --> 00:05:05.078 Why environmental, social and governance? 83 00:05:05.078 --> 00:05:08.978 All three concepts can be interpreted 84 00:05:08.978 --> 00:05:12.728 as relating to governance 85 00:05:12.728 --> 00:05:15.278 So why the adjectives? 86 00:05:15.278 --> 00:05:17.928 Here's the original phrase 87 00:05:17.928 --> 00:05:19.728 In the original report 88 00:05:19.728 --> 00:05:23.178 after these three words 89 00:05:23.178 --> 00:05:27.128 the word issue follows 90 00:05:27.128 --> 00:05:31.878 So while we talk about ESG a lot 91 00:05:31.878 --> 00:05:35.828 but they are followed by issue 92 00:05:35.828 --> 00:05:39.678 meaning a problem to solve 93 00:05:39.678 --> 00:05:44.328 Therefore, ESG is not some simple 94 00:05:44.328 --> 00:05:47.629 even ethical virtue 95 00:05:47.629 --> 00:05:53.529 ESG is an issue for the industry and the community 96 00:05:53.529 --> 00:05:56.729 It is a problem to solve 97 00:05:56.729 --> 00:06:01.679 Even now, ESG yields a lot of issues 98 00:06:01.679 --> 00:06:05.779 and many problems to solve 99 00:06:05.779 --> 00:06:10.029 If you ever study ESG or apply it to your business 100 00:06:10.029 --> 00:06:15.079 please remember that the word ESG 101 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.979 started as an issue to be resolved 102 00:06:18.979 --> 00:06:22.429 When one runs a business 103 00:06:22.429 --> 00:06:26.279 there are people called stakeholders 104 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.879 Stakeholders are further categorized to five groups 105 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.829 Society, partners, investors, customers, and employees 106 00:06:33.829 --> 00:06:36.179 Who are the stakeholders? 107 00:06:36.179 --> 00:06:42.429 They are either impacted by, or influences 108 00:06:42.429 --> 00:06:47.979 the management performance of a company 109 00:06:47.979 --> 00:06:50.329 organization, or enterprise 110 00:06:50.329 --> 00:06:55.829 Does the society influence the performance of the company? Of course 111 00:06:55.829 --> 00:06:58.779 The society includes the government, for example 112 00:06:58.779 --> 00:07:04.029 The government does influence the company's business 113 00:07:04.029 --> 00:07:09.279 Simultaneously, companies influence governments, society, and municipalities 114 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.179 How do they achieve this? 115 00:07:11.179 --> 00:07:14.379 By paying taxes 116 00:07:14.379 --> 00:07:19.129 Partners influence the company's quality by a lot 117 00:07:19.129 --> 00:07:23.430 Similarly, the company impacts their growth 118 00:07:23.430 --> 00:07:27.280 Investors, the company influences the profits 119 00:07:27.280 --> 00:07:30.130 earned by the investors 120 00:07:30.130 --> 00:07:32.480 They also influence the company 121 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.380 based on their investment amount 122 00:07:35.380 --> 00:07:37.430 Customer, of course 123 00:07:37.430 --> 00:07:41.330 The more customers, the more profit the company earns 124 00:07:41.330 --> 00:07:44.330 The less, the less profit for the company 125 00:07:44.330 --> 00:07:49.630 Inversely, the customers can experience a high-quality service 126 00:07:49.630 --> 00:07:54.230 and product produced by the company 127 00:07:54.230 --> 00:07:58.580 And that could improve the quality of their lives 128 00:07:58.580 --> 00:08:00.180 Next, employee 129 00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:05.430 The employees are surely impacted by the performance of the company 130 00:08:05.430 --> 00:08:09.680 Also, based on their performances 131 00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.680 the company's performance may vary 132 00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:16.930 In this sense, the employee and the employer exchange performance 133 00:08:16.930 --> 00:08:18.680 and influence 134 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:24.380 These are the representative five groups of stakeholders 135 00:08:24.380 --> 00:08:27.580 Society, partner, investor, customer, and employee 136 00:08:27.580 --> 00:08:32.830 ESG is a management value and strategy 137 00:08:32.830 --> 00:08:36.280 that emphasizes the importance of stakeholders 138 00:08:36.280 --> 00:08:39.230 and seeks to grow together with them 139 00:08:39.230 --> 00:08:43.230 Importance of ESG and Its Relation to Games 140 00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:46.080 Is ESG actually important? 141 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:51.630 Global consulting firm McKinsey 142 00:08:51.630 --> 00:08:53.780 released a report 143 00:08:53.780 --> 00:08:56.630 Let's start with the word externality 144 00:08:56.630 --> 00:08:58.730 What is externality? 145 00:08:58.730 --> 00:09:02.631 It is where the actions of one economic entity 146 00:09:02.631 --> 00:09:06.631 have a positive or negative impact on another economic entity 147 00:09:06.631 --> 00:09:09.131 yet no monetary transaction 148 00:09:09.131 --> 00:09:13.081 compensation, or payment is made for it 149 00:09:13.081 --> 00:09:17.781 In other words, if the company 150 00:09:17.781 --> 00:09:22.531 generate profits when it negatively impacts 151 00:09:22.531 --> 00:09:27.531 other stakeholders or economic entities without offering compensation 152 00:09:27.531 --> 00:09:30.731 externalities arise 153 00:09:30.731 --> 00:09:35.281 If a company creates externalities 154 00:09:35.281 --> 00:09:39.681 without proper accountability 155 00:09:39.681 --> 00:09:45.081 it risks losing its social license 156 00:09:45.081 --> 00:09:48.981 meaning it can't sustain itself anymore 157 00:09:48.981 --> 00:09:50.981 ESG is important 158 00:09:50.981 --> 00:09:54.631 because it eliminates these externalities 159 00:09:54.631 --> 00:09:59.031 and fosters mutual growth with various economic entities 160 00:09:59.031 --> 00:10:02.631 that affect and are affected by the company's performance 161 00:10:02.631 --> 00:10:06.181 It also aligns with the core value 162 00:10:06.181 --> 00:10:09.831 of growing together with stakeholders 163 00:10:09.831 --> 00:10:13.081 This McKinsey report claims 164 00:10:13.081 --> 00:10:18.131 that ESG will never disappear 165 00:10:18.131 --> 00:10:21.231 In other words, ESG 166 00:10:21.231 --> 00:10:23.831 tells companies, organizations, and business owners 167 00:10:23.831 --> 00:10:26.781 to act as both top achievers and model citizens 168 00:10:26.781 --> 00:10:30.531 In the past, companies avoided criticism 169 00:10:30.531 --> 00:10:34.631 as long as they made money 170 00:10:34.631 --> 00:10:38.081 But today, ESG demands 171 00:10:38.081 --> 00:10:41.332 that companies not only generate revenue and profits 172 00:10:41.332 --> 00:10:44.482 but also fulfill social and environmental responsibilities 173 00:10:44.482 --> 00:10:47.482 as the model students 174 00:10:47.482 --> 00:10:52.532 ESG is closely linked to innovation 175 00:10:52.532 --> 00:10:54.232 Why is that? 176 00:10:54.232 --> 00:10:58.932 The logic of ESG challenges 177 00:10:58.932 --> 00:11:02.732 traditional management strategies and practices 178 00:11:02.732 --> 00:11:07.282 In the past, companies simply needed to earn money 179 00:11:07.282 --> 00:11:11.032 despite minor issues arising in the process 180 00:11:11.032 --> 00:11:14.232 As long as they achieve something 181 00:11:14.232 --> 00:11:18.782 and investors are compensated 182 00:11:18.782 --> 00:11:20.982 there was no problem for them 183 00:11:20.982 --> 00:11:25.932 However, ESG goes beyond financial performances 184 00:11:25.932 --> 00:11:30.632 ESG requires that companies 185 00:11:30.632 --> 00:11:34.332 address social and environmental responsibilities 186 00:11:34.332 --> 00:11:36.832 while ensuring transparency in decision-making 187 00:11:36.832 --> 00:11:41.432 ESG monitors and requires all of this 188 00:11:41.432 --> 00:11:43.532 Therefore 189 00:11:43.532 --> 00:11:47.832 the business owners who are accustomed 190 00:11:47.832 --> 00:11:52.982 to old business models are confused by it 191 00:11:52.982 --> 00:11:57.232 Up until now, they just needed to make money and be a good student 192 00:11:57.232 --> 00:11:59.632 Nothing much else mattered 193 00:11:59.632 --> 00:12:03.782 However, ESG has introduced new requirements 194 00:12:03.782 --> 00:12:08.532 where companies must balance revenue generation with accountability 195 00:12:08.532 --> 00:12:11.682 The principles of management has changed 196 00:12:11.682 --> 00:12:15.582 The business strategy has changed 197 00:12:15.582 --> 00:12:18.382 What should businesses do now? 198 00:12:18.382 --> 00:12:21.483 For the new era of ESG 199 00:12:21.483 --> 00:12:26.483 they are now responsible for both performance and accountability 200 00:12:26.483 --> 00:12:31.333 To achieve these ESG goals 201 00:12:31.333 --> 00:12:34.433 companies have only one option 202 00:12:34.433 --> 00:12:37.683 It is innovation 203 00:12:37.683 --> 00:12:40.383 As I already mentioned 204 00:12:40.383 --> 00:12:44.333 the UN's SDGs emphasize innovation 205 00:12:44.333 --> 00:12:49.883 It claims that without innovative management and progress 206 00:12:49.883 --> 00:12:54.183 humanity cannot achieve sustainable development 207 00:12:54.183 --> 00:12:57.133 ESG has transformed the principles of management 208 00:12:57.133 --> 00:12:59.233 In this new principle 209 00:12:59.233 --> 00:13:03.783 businesses must adopt ESG-aligned innovations 210 00:13:03.783 --> 00:13:09.033 These innovations impact various industries 211 00:13:09.033 --> 00:13:12.433 including the gaming industry 212 00:13:12.433 --> 00:13:16.483 In the gaming industry, ESG values 213 00:13:16.483 --> 00:13:20.533 and performances are making great contributions 214 00:13:20.533 --> 00:13:23.933 Due to climate change, industries worldwide 215 00:13:23.933 --> 00:13:27.883 are required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 216 00:13:27.883 --> 00:13:30.483 and energy consumption 217 00:13:30.483 --> 00:13:34.733 This has led all businesses to directly respond 218 00:13:34.733 --> 00:13:37.933 to
