On April 5, 2024, the Korea Economic Daily reported Attorney Sangmin Kim's remarks from Lee & Ko. Speaking at the monthly forum of Korea ESG Club on March 20, she advised companies to proactively develop due diligence systems for their supply chains, regardless of the reduced scope of the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). She emphasized, "With the global expansion of mandatory supply chain due diligence, companies must establish and elevate their own due diligence systems to embody social responsibility and sustainability, thus attaining and sustaining trust from consumers and stakeholders."
