SK Siltron Participates in Plogging Event to Clean Up Gumi Industrial Complex Environment

Public-Private Joint ESG Council Campaign Activities

SK Siltron participated in the 'Gumi Industrial Complex ESG Together ON+' event held on the 4th by the public-private joint environmental, social, and governance (ESG) council of the Gumi National Industrial Complex. As part of the 'my Gumi Green ON' activity that has been ongoing since last year, a plogging event was held on the day to clean up the environment of the Gumi Industrial Complex with local stakeholders.

This event was attended by Kim Young-sik, a member of the National Assembly representing Gumi City, Kim Jang-ho, mayor of Gumi, Yoon Chang-bae, head of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation Gyeongbuk Regional Headquarters, and Lee Jae-woong, chairman of the Gumi Facilities Corporation. From the corporate side, about 100 executives and employees from more than 10 companies, including Jang Yong-ho, president of SK Siltron, TSR Co., Ltd., and Namseon Aluminum Automotive Division, participated. They started from Dongnak Park in Gumi and walked along the roadside of the Gumi Industrial Complex 3rd District for about an hour, picking up trash. They also cleaned drainage outlets in preparation for the upcoming monsoon season heavy rains.

SK Siltron was the first to join the Gumi Industrial Complex ESG Together ON+ and has been actively continuing its activities. The Gumi Industrial Complex ESG Together ON+ is a council launched in November last year to innovate ESG management in the Gumi Industrial Complex. It includes nine companies from the Gumi Industrial Complex, including SK Siltron, and four organizations such as Gumi City and the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation Gyeongbuk Regional Headquarters.

SK Siltron has been steadily carrying out the 'my Gumi Green ON' program for climate change response, resource circulation, and water ecosystem preservation. In March, through activities such as throwing beneficial microorganisms (EM) soil balls and picking up trash around rivers in cooperation with the Gumi Facilities Corporation, they reflected on the importance of water.
