The company will build a sustainable supply chain based on stringent ESG management over suppliers and increase CSR programs to foster a business environment promoting co-prosperity with local communities. Furthermore, we will take the lead in creating a green ecosystem, discovering and collaborating with green technology startups to address ever-deteriorating environmental issues, such as climate change and waste plastic.
SK Innovation Social Contribution Framework

Social Innovation supports the creation of the social economy ecosystem to solve social problems through innovative methods. Green Innovation outlines the practical actions to achieve a sustainable environment such as carbon neutrality to respond to climate change, the issue of plastic waste, biodiversity, among others. Happy Innovation, which is driven by all company’s members, labor and management, aims to solve the local issues and contribute to the development of local communities.
SK Innovation assesses that social enterprises and social ventures that are founded on social values are the fundamental
and efficient solutions to various social issues. We are aware of the importance of the creation of a social enterprise ecosystem thatcan be their growth foundation.
Every entity is actively tackling the issue of environmental problems by creating an ecosystem for social enterprises,
in line with strategies for carbon neutrality and resource recirculation.
We will continue to expand the environmental values by working closely with social enterprises.

SK Innovation is committed to activities that contribute to the wellbeing of society, and these are pushed ahead with labor and management which are of one mind that the company should dutifully play the roles entrusted to a responsible corporate citizen. The issues of elderlies, a natural consequence of aging society, and of children with developmental disabilities who require the needs of social integration and care are considered as the key assignments to find solutions, and SK Innovation is currently holding various programs to create a healthier society. In 2020, with the outbreak of the COVID-19, SK Innovation had spearheaded the 1% Happiness Sharing Fund and volunteer works to immediately respond to issues local communities faced that were in need of urgent assistance, thereby focusing on creating a social safety net.
The members of SK Innovation have donated 1% of their basic pay and created the “1% Happiness Sharing Fund” to raise awareness on social issues and take actions that enhance social values. The company is at the same time participating in the form of a matching grant with the same scale. As of 2021, KRW 11.73 billion has been raised, and it has been used to provide medical assistance to children with leukemia, train children with developmental disabilities, provide prosthetic legs and hands, and hold the nationwide Sanhaejinmi Plogging Campaign. The purpose is to approach various social issues the local communities are faced with and create social safety nets by discovering the blind spots in the welfare system.

Since 2004, SK Innovation has created the “SK Angels (1004) Volunteer Group” that is composed of its members, and the group is divided into 61 teams at the moment. The volunteer works operate under three different themes. “Sharing Happiness and Carrying on Love” focuses on taking care of the elderlies living alone, and “Happy Dream-i” helps the children with developmental disabilities to adjust well into society. The “Sanhaejinmi Plogging” centers on protecting the environment. Moreover, other voluntary works occur depending on the needs of the local communities, such as making kimchi. SK Angels (1004) Volunteer Group focuses on face-to-face volunteer works where they can share their hearts in the process so that these good works will not be restricted to mere economic or skill assistance. However, right now, amid the COVID-19 situation, the works are held online and focus on supporting the health and minds of the vulnerable social groups during these disturbing times. The participation rate in voluntary works reaches 100%, and it has become the proud corporate culture that earns the trust and support from society.
