ESG Management and Development of the Robot Industry: Global Trend of Convergence Approach Seen Through Big Data

(Seoul = Sports People Times) Columnist Choi Bong-hyuk (AI·ESG·DX convergence expert, education expert on improving awareness of people with disabilities in the workplace) = The importance of ESG (environment, society, governance) in modern corporate management is increasing day by day. In this trend, the development of the robot industry is emerging as a key element for realizing ESG management. In particular, analyzing how the robotics industry and ESG management interact by applying cutting-edge technologies such as big data is essential to understanding innovation and development in this field.

The growth of the robotics industry worldwide is remarkable. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the global installed base of industrial robots has continued to grow over the past few years, and even steeper growth is expected in the coming years. This growth is mainly due to the expanding application of robot technology not only in manufacturing but also in various fields such as service industry, medical care, and logistics.

The application of big data plays an important role in converging the development of the robot industry with ESG management. Through big data analysis, companies can identify the specific impact of the introduction of robot technology on ESG factors such as environmental protection, social responsibility, and governance improvement.

For example, the introduction of energy-efficient robotics technology contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which has a positive effect on the environment. In addition, automation using robots improves worker safety and improves the working environment, contributing to achieving ESG goals from a social perspective.

According to a report from the World Economic Forum (WEF), the convergence of technological innovation and ESG management is essential for the long-term growth and sustainability of companies. Through big data analysis, this report provides insight into how companies can effectively utilize robot technology in the process of achieving ESG goals.

Global trend analysis using big data shows how the robot industry is positively interacting with ESG management. For example, this includes the use of robots in sustainable production processes, the application of automation technology to fulfill social responsibility, and the use of data analysis technology to establish a transparent and efficient governance structure.

Beyond technological advancement, it has become an important strategy to realize corporate sustainability and social responsibility. This convergence approach through big data analysis plays an essential role not only in the development of the robot industry but also in the effective implementation of ESG management. Through this, companies can innovate business models, strengthen competitiveness, and at the same time realize the core values of ESG, which are protecting the environment, promoting social value, and establishing sound governance.

As the growth and influence of the robot industry increases globally, companies need to continuously monitor and evaluate the ESG-related impact of robot technology introduction through big data analysis. This analysis provides an important basis for determining the direction of development of robot technology and establishing strategies to achieve ESG goals.

Additionally, the successful convergence of the development of the robotics industry and ESG management requires close cooperation with regulators, policy makers, and stakeholders across society. To this end, companies must pursue transparent communication and sustainable innovation, increase the social acceptance of robot technology through dialogue with stakeholders, and actively participate in the development of ESG-related policies and standards.

Ultimately, the convergence of the robotics industry and ESG management is very important in solving the challenges facing companies and providing innovative solutions for a sustainable future. This approach, using cutting-edge technologies such as big data, is expected to contribute to helping companies around the world practice ESG management more effectively and achieve global sustainability goals.
