ESG Committee

As interest in and demand for ESG management by stakeholders such as the government, investors, and service users increases, establishing business strategies and disclosing information are becoming more critical as well. ESG refers to ‘environmental, social, and governance,’ the three core elements for fulfilling social responsibility and achieving sustainability in corporate management.

AfreecaTV has launched its ESG Committee under the board of directors in March 2022 to respond to these social needs effectively. Through this, we intend to install an ESG management promotion system centered around management and to conduct and deliberate on ESG strategies and major decisions.

Commendation from the Minister of Science and ICT

AfreecaTV has made an effort to contribute to the develop of the domestic one-person media industry by broadcasting the ‘Korea One-person Media Contest’ live and operating the Gyeonggi One-person Creator Academy together with the Gyeonggi Content Agency. In recognition of its contribution to the expansion of the one-person media industry through these activities, AfreecaTV was awarded the Minister of Science and ICT on November 3, 2021.

AfreecaTV has also promoted the 'One-person Media Creation Group Fostering Project' and has conducted various social contribution activities such as the ‘Finding Missing Children’ and ‘Blind Helper’ campaigns. AfreecaTV plans to lay a foundation for the sustainable growth of the domestic one-person media industry and continue its various social contribution activities.

Facilitating communication through active user participation

AfreecaTV is taking the lead in reinforcing interactive content between BJs and users by introducing a real-time video conversation function ('user participation service’), that allows users to participate in live broadcast. Through this function, BJs and users can easily have real-time video conversations in both PC and mobile platform environments without installing a separate app or program.

Through the user participation function, AfreecaTV induces active user participation in various content, such as communication content for counseling and travel content that introduce domestic and foreign tourist attractions. Real-time communication which is made by user participation function will maximize strength of AfreecaTV, which is the content that users and BJs create together. AfreecaTV is also improving its internal communication with employees by actively utilizing such service. 'e-town halls' a quarterly live streaming session hosted by CEO is one good example. AfreecaTV will continue to strive to fulfill its social responsibility as a communication medium that does not discriminate people based on age, gender, or occupation.
