CSES said on November 9 that it had held a Social Value (SV) session at the 2026 Beijing Forum on November 7 at Peking University in Beijing, China. The Beijing Forum is an international academic forum co-hosted by Peking University and the Chey Institute for Advanced Studies. The session was attended by academics and business representatives from South Korea and China, including those from Peking University, Tencent, and SK hynix.

At the session, CSES introduced SEE SV, an AI-powered platform for measuring and evaluating corporate social responsibility (CSR). SEE SV combines AI with the expertise in social value measurement that SK Group has built over the past 10 years through its Double Bottom Line (DBL) management approach and Social Progress Credit (SPC) program. While conventional CSR performance reports have focused on inputs such as project expenditures and the number of participants, SEE SV measures the changes that projects bring about for beneficiaries and society. AI proposes a draft measurement, which is then reviewed and finalized by a staff member based on supporting evidence.

CSES also shared the results of the "Pre-Hospital Emergency Care in China" project, which it researched with Tencent this year. The project established a digital emergency response system in Bao'an District, Shenzhen, linking emergency centers, citizen volunteers, and automated external defibrillators. According to CSES, the system helped save 95 lives. CSES presented a methodology for measuring the project's social value from the perspectives of stakeholders including government, citizens, and patients.

Na Seok-kwon, CEO of CSES, said, "AI and digital technologies can be important tools for improving the accessibility and practical use of social value measurement, while encouraging the participation and collaboration of diverse stakeholders."
