SK Ecoplant Strengthens ESG Management with Organizational Restructuring and Executive Appointments

Transition to a Total of 11 BU Center System...Massive Appointment of Talent in Their 40s and Women

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] SK Ecoplant carried out an organizational restructuring and executive appointments on the 2nd of 2022. This restructuring focused on expanding the environmental and energy solutions business portfolio and strengthening Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management.

SK Ecoplant transitioned to a total of 11 Business Units (BUs) and centers aligned with its core strategy. In particular, the environmental business was expanded and reorganized into the EcoBiz Development BU, EcoPlatform BU, and EcoLab Center. First, the EcoBiz Development BU aims to expand its market share domestically and explore entry into the global market. The EcoPlatform BU focuses on enhancing synergy among acquired environmental subsidiaries and advancing the environmental industry through the introduction of new technologies. The EcoLab Center will establish an environmental ecosystem platform that discovers, develops, and nurtures innovative technologies, concentrating on developing environmental solutions based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Digital Transformation (DT).

A center related to corporate strategy was also newly established to maximize corporate value and accelerate the Initial Public Offering (IPO) planned for 2023. Additionally, existing business divisions were reorganized into the EcoEnergy BU, EcoSpace BU, EcoSolution BU, and EcoEngineering BU.

This year, SK Ecoplant acquired six waste incineration companies. It also invested in Bloom Energy, a global fuel cell manufacturer based in the United States, and secured management rights of Samkang M&T, an offshore wind power company. Leveraging its construction capabilities, the company is focusing its efforts on transitioning to a renewable energy business encompassing both fuel cells and offshore wind power.

In this personnel reshuffle, SK Ecoplant also appointed a large number of young talents in their 40s and women. Members with proven expertise and achievements in various fields were appointed early, and the company plans to continuously nurture talents who can grow into executives.

Park Kyung-il, President of SK Ecoplant, stated, "With this organizational restructuring and executive appointments, we have consolidated the core competencies necessary for a successful business portfolio transition and IPO promotion. Moving forward, we plan to lead ESG management and actively invest and support to complete our financial story at an early stage."
