A journey of passion and innovation toward stakeholder happiness

Like most other countries across the globe, Korea has many issues to tackle regarding the widening gap between education and wealth levels. To narrow the gap, SK has enacted a wide range of social activities as well as made efforts to drive economic growth as a responsible corporate citizen. But in the process of undertaking such activities, SK soon realized that simple acts of charity are not enough to find an efficient solution to the deep-rooted malaise in society, and that a social enterprise can be a mechanism to address pressing issues and create sustainable values. As the first step toward utilizing such a valuable tool, SK raised KRW 50 billion in 2009 to support social enterprises on a large scale.
