"The Promise" is currently supporting earthquake relief efforts in Türkiye and Syria. We are proud of our alumni community's generosity and compassion in helping those in need.

Sungkyunkwan University SKK Graduate School of Business (SKK GSB), which has been ranked as Korea's No. 1 MBA program by the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings for the past 12 years, is also leading to provide educational and growth opportunities related to climate change and sustainable development to MBA students. As part of this effort, SKK GSB has offered ESG strategy courses in all curricula and held a series of forums and special lectures with the Global Leader Speakers Series this year. SKK GSB is paying particular attention to the possibility of using issues that are of high global concern as "opportunities" rather than "crises." In response, the "Climate Investment, Growth Investment" forum was launched on February 16th, and Dr. Ben Meng, CEO of Franklin Templeton Asia Pacific, was invited to give a lecture on the theme of "Are we at the inflection point of climate investment?" The forum included both domestic and foreign industry officials, MBA students, and faculty, providing MBA students with networking opportunities with related industry experts as well as insights from leading experts. Our Next Energy, a manufacturer of next-generation electric vehicle batteries in the United States with strong backing from the U.S. government, participated in the forum and offered internship opportunities to SKK GSB MBA students. On the 27th, Frederick Johansson, the CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) of IKEA Korea, presented at the "Global Leader Speaker Series" in 2023. During his special lecture, Johansson introduced IKEA's sustainability strategy for a better future under the theme of "People and Earth-friendly Sustainability," highlighting the step-by-step approach. With a vision of "making a better life for many people," IKEA aims to become a climate-positive company by 2030. The Global Leader Speaker Series is a series of special lectures held by SKK GSB throughout the year for full-time MBA students. Dean Eric Shih of SKK GSB stated "SKK GSB is dedicated to offering curricula and educational opportunities that align with global business trends to enhance growth prospects for MBA students. Our goal is to cultivate the next generation of global business leaders and promote sustainable growth." In the second quarter, SKK GSB's “Investing in Climate, Investing in Growth Forum” plans to host a lecture by executives from Our Next Energy, a US-based manufacturer of next-generation electric vehicle batteries.
