Golf Zone continues to provide leisure activities to polar members who continue research activities in cold and isolated environments and contribute to improving mental and social welfare.
Golf Zone, which has sought various ways to contribute to fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities, first donated its golf simulator to the Sejong Science Station on King George Island in Antarctica under the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI) in 2009. In 2014, an additional simulator was donated to the Jang Bogo Science Base, and the company has continued to bear the full cost of free provision and maintenance for 17 years. This support from the golf zone plays an important role in relieving stress through screen golf and activating exchanges between members in poor polar environments to alleviate feelings of isolation.
Researchers at the Sejong Institute said, `The screen golf simulator greatly helps the crew maintain their daily senses because the Antarctic winter period (April to November) is an isolated environment for a long time and outside activities are limited.' "Screen golf course is a space that is not missed even when introducing facilities to visitors to research bases in other countries, and it plays a positive role in cooperation between countries through sports-based exchanges," he said.
Golf Zone established an ESG committee in October 2021 and is systematically promoting management activities based on ESG principles.
A dedicated organization is formed to manage risk, execute tasks, and disclose information, and publish a sustainability management report every year and disclose its activities. The 2025 report published this year disclosed climate-related financial information reflecting the recommendations of the TCFD (Financial Information Disclosure Council on Climate Change) for the first time. Golf Zone used IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and IEA (International Energy Agency) scenarios to analyze financial risks from climate change and disclose mid- to long-term goals and management indicators for responsible responses. In addition, from 2022, he has been active in major environmental policies and civic campaigns by actively participating in the Seoul Metropolitan Government's private cooperation network in response to the climate crisis.
Park Kang-soo, CEO of Golf Zone, said, `Golf Zone has been leading the development of the domestic golf industry through a new culture called screen golf, and at the same time, we have been working hard on ESG management for a sustainable future.' `We will continue to engage in various activities to respond to the climate crisis and practice social responsibility in the future to become a trusted company from customers and society.'
