SK Chemicals Launches Volunteer Activity to Assemble Emergency Relief Kits for Disaster Preparedness

SK Chemicals has produced "emergency relief kits" to help local communities quickly return to normal after disasters.

On October 28, SK Chemicals announced that it held a volunteer activity to assemble emergency relief kits as the second program of its "2025 VALUE Day" at its headquarters located in Pangyo, Seongnam.

The emergency relief kits are essential survival and health support packages delivered to disaster-affected areas during climate crisis-related emergencies, such as wildfires and heavy rainfall. On this day, about 30 SK Chemicals members participated in packing 450 relief kits, each containing a total of 21 items including hygiene, daily necessities, and emergency safety supplies. The completed kits will be delivered to G Foundation, a non-governmental organization dedicated to social contribution. G Foundation will store and manage the kits at its Yeoju logistics warehouse and distribute them to disaster sites within three days of an incident.

SK Chemicals plans to continue actively identifying and implementing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) initiatives that can help address pressing societal issues.

Ko Jeongseok, Head of Business Support Division at SK Chemicals, stated, "As the predictability of society decreases due to disasters, including the climate crisis, it is necessary to proactively establish at least a minimum level of infrastructure. We hope that the relief kits, prepared with the participation of our members, will make a small contribution to ensuring social stability in times of crisis."

Meanwhile, VALUE Day is a newly designed ESG program launched by SK Chemicals this year. Based on voluntary participation and leadership from its members, it is a social contribution initiative aimed at supporting the recovery and happiness of vulnerable groups in the local community. Last month, the first program was held at the Yuldong Ecological Learning Center in Seongnam, where volunteers installed fences and painted facilities for people with developmental disabilities.
