To systematically respond to climate change issues, SK D&D has established a multi-level climate change governance structure consisting of the Board of Directors, executives, and working-level teams. The ESG Committee, a subcommittee under the Board of Directors and the company’s highest decision-making body, oversees the overall ESG management agenda, including climate change response and net-zero implementation. The committee is responsible for setting strategic direction and integrating ESG values into business operations.
Under the direct leadership of the CEO, the Space Strategy Committee analyzes climate-related risks and opportunities throughout business and investment activities and reflects these insights in decision-making by formulating appropriate response strategies.
The dedicated ESG department (ESG Part) works closely with relevant departments to monitor improvement tasks across different areas and supports departments that require practical assistance in implementing climate change responses. In addition, the ESG Part identifies and submits key ESG-related decision-making topics for each business division to the Board of Directors, actively responds to external ESG assessments and disclosure requirements, and promotes employee awareness of climate change and environmental issues through training programs and campaigns.
Climate change-related issues are reported to the Board of Directors and executive management at least once a year. Key issues and planned activities are reviewed and managed through this reporting process. Furthermore, performance in climate action is monitored and embedded into the organization by linking it to the KPI targets of C-level executives (such as the CEO and CSO) and business division heads.
