[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] SK Group donated 12 billion KRW in Neighborly Love donations to the Community Chest of Korea.

On the 15th, SK announced that Lee Hyung-hee, Chairman of the SK SUPEX Council SV Committee, delivered 12 billion KRW in donations to the Community Chest of Korea located in Jeong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul. Since 1999, SK has donated Neighborly Love funds annually, with a cumulative donation amount reaching 188 billion KRW including this year.

In addition to the Neighborly Love donations, SK has carried out various activities throughout the year to pursue the happiness of all stakeholders. Especially as COVID-19 has prolonged, SK has continuously worked on establishing a corporate-level ‘Safety Net’ to strengthen and make the existing welfare system more robust and detailed.

First, SK Group conducted the ‘One Meal Sharing On(tact) Project’ to address the food issues of vulnerable groups suffering from the spread of COVID-19, providing a total of approximately 625,000 meals this year to those at risk of food insecurity. Earlier this year, SK supported small restaurants in Myeong-dong and Hoehyeon-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, by ordering lunchboxes and supplying them to ‘Myeongdong Bapjip,’ a free meal center operated by the Catholic Archdiocese of Seoul. SK also provided emergency funds to free meal centers that could not meet the demand for lunchboxes, supporting self-employed business owners.

Additionally, to help resolve the blood shortage crisis caused by COVID-19, SK Group held a blood donation relay campaign last year with about 2,300 group members participating. Recently, they launched a large-scale blood donation campaign called ‘Life Sharing On(tact),’ involving employees from affiliates, partner companies, social enterprises, and the general public. SK Group also donated two blood donation buses worth approximately 300 million KRW each to the Korean Red Cross to facilitate smooth blood donations nationwide.

An SK representative stated, "As a company leading ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, we will contribute to solving various social problems caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and pursue happiness not only for our members but also for neighbors and society."
