Professor Sang Heon Yoon (Department of International Studies, Language, and Literature), Director of the Handong Institute of Academic and Faith, who planned the 2023 Winter Conference, said, “This academic event opened a forum for presentations and discussions by scholars of various majors, and provided a platform for ESG-related issues from an integrated perspective based on the Bible. It was a good opportunity to look at major issues, and it is meaningful as the beginning of discussions on environmental issues, social inequality issues, and governance in our society as a whole, not only at the corporate management level, but also at a macro level.”
