While industrial development has contributed to human convenience, it has had a negative impact on the environment, which is a prerequisite for human survival, resulting in the current global warming. Considering the scorching summer heat of recent years, concerns regarding global warming and the environment that caused it are likely shared not only by policymakers and researchers but also by the general public. This study aims to extend existing discussions on the legalization of ESG disclosure to the realm of aviation security, thereby demonstrating that aviation security can serve as a core component of society (S) and governance (G), rather than remaining on the periphery of sustainability discussions centered on the environment (E). Currently, international and domestic discussions on ESG disclosure are still primarily focused on environmental (E) issues such as the climate crisis, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate risks. However, as the aviation industry is a representative high-risk and high-public-interest industry, social and governance elements—such as protecting the lives and physical safety of passengers and employees, ensuring the safety of national infrastructure, information protection and cybersecurity, crisis response and business continuity, and the effectiveness of supervision and internal controls—have a significant impact on both corporate value and public interest. In this regard, aviation security needs to be restructured within the ESG disclosure framework as critical non-financial information, going beyond mere operational technical issues. However, due to the nature of aviation security information, full disclosure is not permitted; therefore, the non-disclosure of security screening procedures, vulnerable points, emergency response manuals, and hazard detection methods is inevitable. Consequently, ESG disclosure regarding aviation security should be designed around structural and managerial information—such as supervisory structures at the board and committee levels, risk management systems, education and training, internal controls and audits, information protection and supply chain management, and aggregated performance indicators—rather than the disclosure of detailed operational information. Furthermore, given the gradual progress of the legislation for domestic ESG disclosure systems, it is appropriate to incorporate the aviation security sector into the governance, risk management, and stakeholder protection categories in stages, rather than abruptly including it as a separate, independent disclosure item. This approach is also significant from a criminal policy perspective. In other words, incorporating aviation security into ESG governance does not rely solely on strengthening ex post sanctions; instead, it promotes preventive risk control, clarifies organizational responsibility, enhances oversight capabilities, and fosters the establishment of a public safety-friendly corporate control structure. Ultimately, the inclusion of aviation security in ESG should be understood not as an end in itself—the expansion of disclosure—but as an institutional means to build a sustainable aviation security regime while precisely defining the boundaries between transparency and non-disclosure.

현재 국제적ㆍ국내적 ESG 공시 논의는 여전히 기후위기, 온실가스 배출, 기후위험과 같은 환경(E) 이슈를 중심으로 전개되고 있다. 그러나 항공산업은 대표적인 고위험ㆍ고공공성 산업으로서, 승객과 종사자의 생명ㆍ신체 보호, 국가기반시설의 안전 확보, 정보보호와 사이버보안, 위기대응과 업무연속성 확보, 감독 및 내부통제의 실효성 등 사회적ㆍ거버넌스적 요소가 기업가치와 공공이익에 동시에 중대한 영향을 미친다. 이러한 점에서 항공보안은 단순한 운영상의 기술 문제를 넘어, 비재무적 중요정보로서 ESG 공시체계 안에서 재구성될 필요가 있다. 다만 항공보안 정보는 그 성질상 전면적 공개가 허용될 수 없으며, 보안검색 절차, 취약지점, 비상대응 매뉴얼, 위해요소 탐지 방식 등은 비공개가 불가피하다. 나아가 국내 ESG 공시제도의 법제화가 점진적으로 추진되는 상황에서 항공보안 분야는 별도의 독립 공시항목으로 급격히 편입되기보다는 지배구조ㆍ위험관리ㆍ이해관계자 보호 항목 속에서 단계적으로 수용되는 방식이 타당하다. 이는 형사정책적 관점에서도 의미가 있다. 즉 항공보안을 ESG 거버넌스의 일부로 편입하는 것은 사후적 제재 강화에만 의존하는 것이 아니라, 예방 중심의 위험통제, 조직책임의 명확화, 감독 가능성의 증대, 공공안전 친화적 기업통제구조의 정착을 도모하는 효과를 갖는다. 결국 항공보안의 ESG 편입은 공시의 확대 그 자체가 목적이 아니라, 투명성과 비공개의 경계를 정교하게 설정하면서도 지속가능한 항공보안 레짐 구축을 위한 제도적 수단으로 이해되어야 한다.
