RSQUARE DESIGN, a specialist in commercial real estate construction and interior design, has joined the UN Global Compact (UNGC), formalizing its commitment to global-standard ESG management and safety systems. This membership is expected to serve as a catalyst for spreading sustainable management while enhancing trust with partner companies.
RSQUARE DESIGN and the UNGC held a certificate presentation ceremony on the 22nd at the UNGC Network Korea office in Seosomun-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by Sang-min Jung, Head of the Safety & Health Management Department at RSQUARE (President of the Korea Serious Accident Prevention Association), and Youn-chul Yoo, Executive Director of UNGC Network Korea. The ceremony was organized to publicly formalize RSQUARE DESIGN’s adoption of global ESG standards.
The UNGC is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, providing ten principles in four major areas: human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. Over 25,000 companies and organizations from 160 countries participate in this initiative.
RSQUARE DESIGN has been promoting various ESG activities, building a track record of concrete achievements, including:
Resource circulation through construction waste recycling contracts
Expanding the use of eco-friendly construction materials
Implementing low-carbon designs * Creating safe and healthy work environments
Ensuring transparent construction management
Joining the UNGC is particularly meaningful as it signifies that these activities are recognized according to international standards.
Moving forward, RSQUARE DESIGN plans to internalize ESG principles throughout the entire construction and interior design process and expand practical initiatives. The company intends to consistently submit the Communication on Progress (CoP) and develop ESG construction guidelines for each project to apply on-site. Furthermore, it aims to strengthen transparency and safety in collaboration with partner construction firms to establish itself as a trusted architecture and interior design firm for large-scale domestic and international projects.
"Joining the UNGC is a promise to reflect global ESG standards in every project RSQUARE DESIGN undertakes," said Jang Yong-su, CEO of RSQUARE DESIGN. "We will contribute to the market and society through sustainable architecture and interior design, fulfilling our responsibility as a trusted partner when collaborating with clients."
Youn-chul Yoo, Executive Director of UNGC Network Korea, emphasized, "RSQUARE DESIGN’s membership is an important signal that ESG principles are spreading in the commercial construction and interior design sectors. We expect them to lead the industry as a member of the international community, prioritizing safety and the environment."
