[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Su-yeon] KT Skylife is strengthening its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management activities by expanding the production of eco-friendly set-top boxes.

On the 28th, Skylife announced that it participated as a group company in the "KT-LG Chem Business Agreement for Establishing an Eco-friendly Rental Device Production System" at the KT Partners Day held at Novotel Dongdaemun on the 27th. The participating companies agreed to strengthen ESG management by introducing an eco-friendly SCM process and cooperate to establish a 100% resource circulation system through recycling discarded cases such as set-top boxes.

KT Group companies, including Skylife, KT, and HCN, will undergo a recycling process with LG Chem when disposing of products such as set-top boxes. They extract reusable raw materials and reproduce them into eco-friendly set-top boxes, completing a virtuous cycle process that connects the production, disposal, and recycling of rental device cases.

On the 11th, Skylife held a beachcombing event near the Incheon Bridge Memorial Hall embankment, where employees participated in collecting marine plastic waste. They announced plans to select transparent PET bottles from the collected plastic waste and recycle them as raw materials for eco-friendly set-top boxes. Among the set-top boxes scheduled for production this year, about 10,000 units will be made as eco-friendly set-top boxes, and from next year, the scale will be significantly increased through this business agreement.

Kim Cheol-soo, CEO of KT Skylife, said, "We are pleased to participate as a group company in the business cooperation to establish an eco-friendly rental device production system," and added, "Going forward, Skylife will continue to carry out various ESG management activities with a sense of mission to fulfill social responsibility."
