SK Ecoplant is continuing its resource circulation and sharing campaign.


On the 12th, SK Ecoplant announced that it held a bazaar at its headquarters in Susong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, in collaboration with the social enterprise Goodwill Store, as part of its ongoing resource recycling donation program, "CE100." The company also organized "Personal Cup Usage Day" and the "Love Battery Recycling Campaign."


CE100 is SK Ecoplant’s social contribution program, aimed at realizing a circular economy and delivering the message, "100 small actions create big change." The campaign, which began in earnest in March last year, supports the independence of people with disabilities and promotes a culture of resource circulation by encouraging donations of clothing, accessories, household goods, books, and small appliances.


As of August this year, the cumulative number of donations reached 21,029. Last year, there were a total of 12,620 donations, and 8,409 donations were made by August this year. The donated items are used in partnership with the social enterprise Goodwill Store to create jobs and support the independence of people with disabilities. All proceeds from this bazaar will also be used entirely for creating jobs and supporting wages for people with disabilities.


To make donating more convenient, SK Ecoplant installs a large collection box in the lobby of its headquarters for one week during the third week of every month. The sites in Yongin and Cheongju also operate large collection boxes once a month, just like the headquarters, and employees actively participate. The company also encourages flexible participation by allowing employees to donate directly to related organizations or via parcel delivery, promoting voluntary involvement and action among its members.
