GS Group chairman Huh Chang-soo urged Wednesday top executives of the group’s affiliates to look to the future and not to miss an opportunity for growth. 

“As the market changes at a rapid pace, the group should not miss growth momentum through making investments at the right time,” said chairman Huh, presiding over a meeting for the third quarter of the fiscal year.

To make a successful investment, he said “a thorough business risk analysis and preparation measures for different outcomes of business portfolios should be prioritized.”

He also emphasized the importance of human resource training and keeping stewardship in mind for future growth. 

Around 150 CEOs and top executives from the eighth largest conglomerate in Korea and its affiliates participated in the quarterly meeting.

Through such efforts, the firm can make a high profit, which will then provide a driving force to continue business and contribute to society by creating high-quality jobs.

He recently visited one of the refinery facilities of GS Caltex, an oil refiner, in the city of Yeosu in order to conduct an on-site safety check.

“Human resources are one of important factors in doing business. And the group will try to do its best to keep work places safe.”
