Park Jae-joon (pictured), CEO of Antock, was confident that the corporate value of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) management would be converted into data to discover superior companies and contribute to a virtuous investment cycle. Since he has seen with his own eyes the effects of using big data while working for a global consulting company in the past, his goal is to incorporate this into the expansion of the domestic ESG ecosystem.
In an interview with Bonbo on the 14th, Mr. Park said, “ESG management is becoming a hot topic, but when I actually meet large companies or financial institutions, I am often confused about how to invest in which companies,” and “in particular, large companies must also look at the supply chain of partner companies according to ESG guidelines, and it is not easy to obtain data to discover such companies.”
He said, “We started collecting information about the ESG sector about 2 years ago. There are many opinions that it would be easier to use this information based on data,” he explained. “We have built a platform to support the financing of social economy companies by providing information and inducing investment to large companies and public and financial institutions that wish to discover impact investments or ESG companies.”
(short note)
Antock currently has 12 members. CEO Park's strategy is to speed up the provision of enterprise analysis solutions based on the Hubble database and the discovery of ESG companies by growing the size of 15 people by the end of the year and systematizing the organization with a system development team, data analysis team, and service operation team. Mr. Park said, “The key is to make good use of what can be seen in one data. “The amount of data is also important, but it is necessary to meaningfully digest it,” he said. “We will create a virtuous cycle of financing by collecting fragmented corporate data to discover ESG companies and build a platform to induce investment in these companies.”
