Policy and Issue Briefing
Expansion of mandatory ESG disclosure — Effective 2028
The government has decided to significantly expand the scope of mandatory Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures. Starting in 2028, KOSPI-listed companies with assets of 10 trillion won or more will be required to disclose ESG data directly through their business reports, skipping the exchange-based disclosure process. This measure aims to meet global investor demand for information and accelerate the "Green Transition" (GX).
Companies have expressed concerns regarding increased administrative burdens and potential legal responsibilities for CEOs, and the government is currently discussing alternatives to ensure corporate feasibility.
