Board of Directors

As the highest decision-making body of SK ecoplant, the Board of Directors carries out “responsible management centered on the Board of Directors.” To strengthen the Board of Directors’ actual authority to supervise the activities of the CEO and management, a majority of the Board of Directors are independent directors. In addition, we have organized a balanced Board of Directors by considering the principle of expertise and diversity. SK ecoplant will strive to maximize the rights and interests of its shareholders and corporate value by establishing a transparent, faithful governance structure.

BOD Operation Evaluation

We evaluated the BOD’s operations for the first time in November 2022 with the aim of improving governance through efficient operation of the BOD and its subcommittees. The BOD Secretariat conducts operational evaluations of external directors using an evaluation table designed with five-point scale questionnaire and subjective questions. The evaluation is performed annually to assess the appropriateness, fidelity, sufficiency, and effectiveness of the following: composition and independence of the BOD, the operation of the BOD and its Committees, and the roles and responsibilities of the BOD. The result of the evaluation are discussed through the BOD and disclosed annually on the website as well as in the annual report and the sustainability report.
