The awards ceremony, held on the 18th (local time) at the Korean Cultural Center in Budapest, Hungary, was organized to recognize Korean companies engaged in social contribution activities such as local community support, environmental protection, and educational and welfare initiatives.

SK On followed up on last year's achievement of winning the Innovative CSR Award at the 1st ceremony, earning recognition for the second consecutive year.

Since commencing commercial operations in Komarom, Hungary in 2020, SK On has steadily expanded its community engagement and win-win initiatives. One prominent example is the 'Great Music Festival' (GMF), a music event for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Together with its parent company, SK Innovation, SK On has hosted the GMF in Hungary for two consecutive years in 2024 and 2025, providing a platform for local musicians with developmental disabilities to showcase their talents. The third edition of the festival is scheduled to take place at the end of November this year.

The company has also been involved in donations to public foundations in the Komarom and Ivancsa regions, providing daily necessities to underprivileged groups, organizing plogging events, and conducting regular blood donation drives. Since 2021, about 600 employees have participated in blood donations, and around 800 students have taken part in job training focused on the battery industry.

Sungshik Kim, Head of SK On Europe Corporation, stated, "This award is recognition of the sincerity and authenticity of SK On's ongoing social contribution activities to grow together with Hungary. We will continue to broaden our scope of win-win initiatives by focusing on activities that provide tangible benefits to the local community."
