ESG, the environmental, social and governance aspects of a company, has rapidly emerged as one of the hottest topics in the corporate and financial sectors in Korea. With the urgent need to combat climate change and social inequality, companies are gearing up to make positive changes. Among the reasons for the emergence of this trend is the realization that companies have a key role to play in ensuring a sustainable future for all, beyond their financial obligations to their shareholders.&nbs

영어공부를 누구나 시작하지만 성과를 제대로 보지 못하는 경우가 많다. 그런 이유 중에 가장 큰 것은 조금씩이라도 매일 꾸준히 하는 것을 하지 못하기 때문이다. 본 연재를 술술 읽다보면 우리는 영어를 즐기게 되고 기본적으로 언제든지 활용할만한 표현과 문법을 익혀 쓸 수 있게 될 것이다. 영어 말하기와 쓰기에 최적화된 뇌를 만드는 큰 토대가 될 것이다. 필자가 여러 영어mc, 통역사, 방송인들과 교류하면서 방송을 하면서 배운 것은 이들 모두가 다 숨은 많은 노력을 하고 있다는 것이다. 자신의 분야가 아닌 자동차 부분의 통역을 위해 자동차에 쓰이는 기본 영단어를 공부하는데 며칠이 걸리지만 철저히 준비한다. 한 시간 통역을 위해 1주일 이상의 준비가 필요한 경우도 많다. 통역 중에 트림을 하는 것을 예방하기 위하여 1학년 때부터 탄산음료를 마시지 않는 습관을 가진 분들도 많다. 일상에서 뉴스를 보면서 우리말을 잘하기 위해 우리말 뉴스를 보며 바로 영어로 번역하는 훈련을 하거나

The 2 1/2 year prison sentence given to Lee Jae-yong, leader of the Samsung business group convicted of bribery, is to end in July next year. Speculations are rising over whether President Moon Jae-in will keep the richest man in South Korea in jail as long as he remains in the Blue House, or give the 51-year-old a special pardon using his prerogative. Calls for Lee’s early release are coming from individuals and organizations that cite the need for his role in helping revive the national

The big story on Fox News recently was Joe Biden’s purported “war on meat” -- a breathless disclosure that the president plans to limit every American to 4 pounds (1,800 grams) of steak a year. Republican politicians jumped on the issue, defiantly promising to defend your right to consume hamburgers. “Not gonna happen in Texas,” Gov. Greg Abbott declared. There was only one problem: The story was nonsense, a work of imagination concocted by a British newspaper afte

Donald Trump’s presidency was bookended by the White House pushing “alternative facts” about the size of the crowd at Trump’s inauguration at the US Capitol and his violent supporters scrawling “Murder the Media” on the Capitol’s doors. While Trump is gone (for now), professional media remain at risk – and not just in the United States. The watchdog group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) considers the state of press freedom “good” in a m

Two books recently appeared that shed light on highly important aspects of US politics. Both offer views of the Republican Party’s decline from relative unity under Ronald Reagan -- first as reflected in Karen Tumulty’s astonishing biography of Nancy Reagan; and then as portrayed by a recent Republican Speaker of the House, John Boehner. Boehner’s departure from politics in 2015 can be seen as an omen of what was about to become of his party. Caught between traditional politi

The governments of South Africa, India, and dozens of other developing countries are calling for the rights on intellectual property (IP), including vaccine patents, to be waived to accelerate the worldwide production of supplies to fight COVID-19. They are absolutely correct. IP for fighting COVID-19 should be waived, and indeed actively shared among scientists, companies, and nations. The pharmaceutical industry and the governments of several vaccine-producing countries, including the United

Last week, the European Union’s foreign ministers approved -- with little fanfare or consultation -- the EU Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. It is a timely step, which reflects an awareness of the Indo-Pacific region’s growing strategic importance. But, as is so often the case with EU frameworks, it offers a lot of vague plans, broad principles and bureaucratic jargon -- and not much strategic clarity. The world’s geostrategic focus on the Indo-Pacific region is a
