Closing Insights

Korea ESG Data was founded by DongUk (Dongwook) Cho, who serves as CEO. Cho holds a master's degree in Information Systems Management from Carnegie Mellon University's Heinz College and has a background in data analytics and software engineering. Before founding the company, he worked as an Analytics Platform Developer at Discovery, Inc. and as a Business Analyst at the World Bank.

A notable aspect of the platform is its strong focus on the Korean ESG reporting landscape while maintaining compatibility with international disclosure frameworks. In addition to supporting globally recognised standards such as GRI, ISSB, ESRS, SASB, and CDP, the platform includes dedicated functionality for preparing KCGS ESG ratings and integrates with domestic systems including KEPCO and Allbaro. This makes it particularly relevant for organizations operating in South Korea while also reporting to international investors and stakeholders. The company lists customers and project partners including Hanwha Systems, Lotte Wellfood, the National Pension Service of Korea, and numerous public-sector organizations.
