The future of carbon neutrality in Korea was debated, showcased, and planned at COEX and OpsNow ESG was at the heart of the conversation. Our participation in the 2025 Korea ESG Eco-Friendly Expo from September 24 - 26, 2025, was more than just an exhibition; it was a validation of the growing demand for automated ESG solutions. This was a milestone opportunity to engage with top decision-makers and investors who are shaping the future of carbon neutrality, especially in South Korea.

Over three days, we welcomed more than 100 visitors, showcased live demos of our integrated ESG platform, and exchanged hundreds of business cards with prospective partners. This marks a turning point in how ESG solutions are embraced by Korea’s corporate and public sectors alike.

Reference: Scope in ESG refers to the classification of greenhouse gas emissions from corporate activities into: direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2), and all other indirect emissions (Scope 3). This framework, based on the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, is used to systematically identify and manage corporate carbon emissions as part of ESG management practices.
