Moving “Creating Shared Value (CSV)” from individuals projects to embed in processes Creating Positive Impact for Sustainable Growth is important


Korea Institute for Development Strategy (President, Seung-hun Chun), Palladium (CEO, Kim Bredhauer), and Ksight Consulting (CEO, Youngho Wang) jointly held an international seminar themed “Creating Positive Impact for Sustainable Growth” on February 2, 2018 from 08:30 to 13:00 in Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas Hotel.


At the seminar, Alonzo Fulgham (former Acting Administrator of the US Agency for International Development), Dong-sung Cho (President of Incheon University), Jin-kyu Jeong (Director General of Development Cooperation Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) made a presentation on the progress of Korea’s official development assistance (ODA) in expanding public-private partnerships. They also discussed the future direction for public-private partnerships to promote sustainable growth in the era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, the cases of Palladium, Eland Welfare Foundation, and Pan-Impact Korea that are working to create social values (CSV) were shared with participants to explore new approaches to CSV which would be globally applicable.


About 100 participants from the government, aid agencies, businesses, NGOs, and impact investors participated in the event and exchanged their opinions on creating sustainable economic and social values in the changing domestic and foreign circumstances.


As a follow-up to the seminar, KDS, Palladium, and Ksight Consulting will explore a range of opportunities for partnerships to develop new approaches to CSV in the global development landscape.
