SK C&C Begins Digital ESG Consulting for Manufacturing Companies in Northern Chungnam

SK C&C announced on the 11th that it has commenced the '2024 ESG Management Diagnosis, Improvement, and Implementation Task Consulting Project' organized by the Chungnam Northern Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The Chungnam Northern Chamber of Commerce and Industry is an organization aimed at fostering commerce and industry and protecting the rights and interests in the northern region of Chungcheongnam-do, including Cheonan City, Asan City, Yesan County, and Hongseong County. It plays a role in promoting regional economic revitalization and social development.

Since 2022, it has been conducting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management diagnosis support projects targeting small and medium-sized manufacturing member companies. Starting this year, to respond to ESG regulations such as the European Union (EU) Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, it is establishing a digital ESG management system and providing various services for local companies, including the expansion of greenhouse gas inventory construction.

SK C&C will provide customized digital ESG consulting to 20 manufacturing member companies in the semiconductor, secondary battery, automobile, electronics, construction, and consumer goods sectors selected by the Chungnam Northern Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Beginning with 'ESG Diagnosis and Improvement Consulting,' which precisely diagnoses ESG management levels and derives improvement tasks, SK C&C will offer 'ESG Strategy Consulting' that selects key performance indicators (KPIs) and presents an ESG implementation roadmap to achieve sustainable ESG outcomes.

In this project, greenhouse gas inventory construction consulting will also be conducted separately to respond to climate change disclosures and participate voluntarily in the carbon market.

To provide more efficient ESG consulting services, SK C&C utilizes the comprehensive ESG management platform 'Click ESG,' which is used by more than 2,600 companies and organizations domestically.

Through Click ESG, companies can input data related to environmental, social, and governance items and receive ESG diagnosis results, including ▲industry-specific ESG key indicator evaluations ▲peer industry comparisons ▲detailed improvement area suggestions. During the improvement task execution process after diagnosis, continuous support for enhancing ESG management levels is provided through score-based simulation management.

Click ESG uses diagnostic items aligned with domestic and international ESG initiatives and evaluation agency requirements to enhance external credibility.

Moon Sang-in, Chairman of the Chungnam Northern Chamber of Commerce and Industry, stated, "We hope this project will help companies effectively respond to supply chain ESG issues and strengthen their competitiveness."

Bang Soo-in, Head of the Digital ESG Group at SK C&C, said, "We will actively support the member companies of the Chungnam Northern Chamber of Commerce and Industry in establishing ESG management systems that meet global standards."
