ECONINE Earns ISO/IEC 42001 Certification for Responsible AI Management

South Korean sustainability advisory firm ECONINE has earned ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for its AI management system.

SEOUL, South Korea, September 30, 2026 — ECONINE, a specialist sustainability advisory firm led by CEO Uk Seo, has earned certification to ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the international standard for artificial intelligence management systems.

ISO/IEC 42001 sets requirements for managing AI-related risks and establishing, operating and continually improving a management system for the responsible development, provision and use of AI.

The certification covers “Operation of an AI-based knowledge system and ESG assessment (EcoVadis) and disclosure advisory services.” ECONINE is certified in its role as an AI user, with the certification addressing how it manages AI use within this scope.

ECONINE combines its sustainability expertise with AI while retaining expert review and human responsibility for final decisions. This approach aims to strengthen the evidence and consistency behind its advice and manage the risks associated with AI use.

For clients selecting an advisory partner, the certification provides a basis for assessing how the firm manages responsible AI use alongside its professional expertise.

“What matters to clients is the basis for trusting our advice, rather than simply whether we use AI,” said Uk Seo, CEO of ECONINE and a qualified ISO/IEC 42001 auditor. “We will combine our sustainability expertise with responsible AI use to help clients make informed decisions, with professional judgement and accountability at the core of our work.”
