SK Ecoplant is advancing and upgrading its business portfolio by establishing the entire AI infrastructure value chain, including semiconductor manufacturing facilities, industrial gases, semiconductor and display materials, AI data centers (DC), and IT asset disposition (ITAD). In this report, the company presented major achievements, such as the completion of the SK hynix Cheongju M15X plant, construction of the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster, the Ulsan AI DC project, and the supply of fuel cells for the Bupyeong AI DC project, positioning its AI- and semiconductor-focused vision and business model as key outcomes.

The report also comprehensively covers ESG key issues, social contribution activities, external evaluations, and the creation of social value as results of sustainable management. Through a Double Materiality Assessment, SK Ecoplant selected key topics such as ▲ climate change response, ▲ workplace safety and health, and ▲ sustainable supply chains, and conducted an IRO (Impact, Risk, Opportunity) assessment linked to its business areas. The value chain has now been expanded to include subsidiaries specializing in semiconductor and display materials, allowing for the systematic review of major risk and opportunity factors, as well as their impacts.

Last year, the total number of volunteer hours contributed by employees was 50,208. In the area of external ESG evaluations, the company maintained a leadership grade (A-) in the CDP Climate Change assessment, and received the highest grade in the Win-Win Growth Index for the ninth consecutive year. Additionally, it attained the top grade for three consecutive years in the Fair Trade Autonomous Compliance Program (CP) evaluation.

Furthermore, SK Ecoplant was estimated to have created 764 billion won in social value last year. This social value was calculated according to SK Group’s DBL (Double Bottom Line) management principles, integrating economic indirect contributions, environmental performance, and social performance.
