Win-Win Growth

SK D&D advances sustainable management to establish transparent and fair transactions and pursue shared growth with business partners. In selecting business partners, we assess them on factors that are non-financial as well as technical performance assessments to contribute to disseminating an ESG-driven culture and preemptively respond to non-financial risks. We have also presented four guidelines to follow for engaging in fair transactions to establish robust win-win growth with business partners.

We are enhancing the product competitiveness of excellent suppliers while implementing programs focused on ESG improvement and support for our suppliers by strengthening partnerships. In the future, we aim to establish a win-win ecosystem through development of win-win programs.

We operate a purchase and private contract process to conclude fair and transparent contracts. The organization which manages purchasing is in charge of bidding and contracting process of purchasing process, resolving any compliance issues. Private contracting process is carried out through deliberation of Internal Screening committee for fairness and transparency. The Internal Screening committee evaluates appropriateness of supplier and validity of price, reflecting the results in purchase contract. We will continue to stipulate clear standards and procedures to establish fair trade order, building a system of win-win cooperation with our business partners.

In case of reports on unethical incidents, organization handling ethical management reviews the matter to protect the informant, and the identity and the details of the report can be protected according to informant protection regulations.

Fair Transaction

Four Guidelines for Fair Transaction

We are promoting a fair and transparent trading environment and enhancing mutual cooperation through the four major guidelines of fair trade. These guidelines concern contract signing, business partner selection and operation, the establishment of the internal screening committee, and document retention and issuance, and will drive our efforts to build a win-win growth model on the back of trust-based shared growth.

Fair Trade Compliance

Compliance with fair trade-related compliance control standards were inspected in order to prevent violations of the Fair Trade Act and establishment of an internal compliance system. 7 tasks were identified through internal interviews, inspection of contracts by type, and legal review. We plan to reflect these tasks in a timely manner to relevant organization in 2023. After reviewing the private contract deliberation process and subcontracting transaction status, it was confirmed that there were no issues in 2022. We are thoroughly managing related compliance issues through pre-inspection of contract amount increase issues and legal support related to new businesses. Also, as corporate ESG management demands intensify, we plan to review relevant laws and risk factors, revise relevant internal operating regulations and training systems from 2023, and design an internal monitoring system for pilot operations in 2024.

Fair Trade Training

We provide fair trade training to all our employees to ensure employees’ voluntary compliance with fair trade, prevention of violations, and prevention of recurrence. In 2022, we conducted a total of 58 hours of training to raise employees’ awareness of fair trade, and we are striving to elevate our training every year.
