SK Innovation Appoints Carol Browner as Advisor to Expand Battery Business Globally

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] SK Innovation announced on the 19th that it has recently appointed Carol Browner, a U.S. climate change and environmental protection expert and attorney, as an advisor to actively respond to the global expansion of its battery business.

Carol Browner is known as a global expert in environmental policy, having served as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Bill Clinton administration and as the Director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy under the Barack Obama administration.

Im Soo-gil, Head of SK Innovation's Value Creation Center, stated, "As industries using batteries, such as electric vehicles, are rapidly growing, we judged that it is necessary to establish and implement proactive strategies for the global growth of SK's battery business, and thus appointed Carol Browner as an advisor."

He added, "SK's battery business continues to make large-scale investments in the United States, creating many jobs, and especially, this investment expansion can serve as an important opportunity for the U.S.'s efforts in climate change and environmental protection. Carol Browner is the right person for this role," and explained, "Her extensive experience and expertise will play a significant role in the success of SK's battery business."

Meanwhile, SK Innovation significantly strengthened its research and development and marketing sectors through an organizational restructuring at the end of last year to globally expand its battery business.
