In recognizing its suppliers as lifelong partners, SK ecoplant maintains its win-win growth policy for harmonious growth. In addition, the Win-Win Growth Committee, chaired by the head of the ESG Center (CSO), holds a biannual meeting a year to discuss measures to support our business partners.
SK ecoplant has established the “Code of Conduct for Subcontractors,” and is preventing potential risks within the supply chain and supporting the sustainable management of its business partners. The Suppliers’ Code of Conduct was established based on global guidelines such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ten principles of the UN Global Compact, and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work. We have also made sure we allow our business partners to establish a sustainable management execution system by presenting specific standards for each area, such as human rights, labor, safety, health, environment, corporate ethics, and legitimate raw material acquisition. Since 2022, we have built and implemented the compliance agreement system for the Code of Conduct, which is a system for newly registered business partners.
SK ecoplant is operating the “Support Program for Biz. Partners’ ESG Improvement” to enhance the ESG management level of Biz. Partners experiencing issues such as cost burden and lack of information and knowledge in the process of transitioning to ESG management.
In the “Support Program for Biz. Partners’ ESG Improvement,” we are carrying out ESG evaluations on key Biz. Partners, newly registered Biz. Partners, etc. As a result of the evaluation, we made it a general rule to manage the improvement status of Biz. Partners with insufficient ESG management every year. After the evaluation, we monitor whether the improvement challenges identified for each Biz. Partner have been implemented, and support the process of improvement measures on the overall operation of ESG policy, organization, and training through the Value-up program.
