Participation Initiatives

TCFD

The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) issued its recommendations in 2017 to encourage companies and financial institutions to transparently disclose climate-related financial risks to investors, shareholders, and the public. In 2022, SK D&D declared its support for the TCFD recommendations and published TCFD reports. Annually, through our sustainability report, we disclose climate-related financial information aligned with the TCFD recommendations.

RE100

K-RE100

SK D&D has established the target to achieve RE100 by 2023 as part of its 2030 Net Zero roadmap. In 2023, we implemented RE100 (100% renewable energy transition) by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) equivalent to our total electricity consumption of 16.58 TJ. We are considering expanding our means of achieving RE100 by exploring future options such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and long-term REC purchase contracts. These efforts aim to contribute to achieving clean energy transition for national carbon neutrality by 2050.
