on happy business
management.

SK is committed to advancing the communities where
we do business by continually creating both economic and social value.

WHY

SK’s Choice to Realize
Social Values

Companies once was able to win customers' support and society's recognition just through creating economic value.
However, companies now must not only create economic value, but also satisfy various values that customers and the society demands in order to ensure sustainable growth and survival.
To this end, SK intends to win strong support from members of society by pursuing the creation of social values as its new management strategy and thereby maximizing the happiness of its stakeholders.

HOW

Three Methodologies for the Realization of Social Values

BM Innovation through the Pursuit of DBL

The 'Pursuit of DBL (Double Bottom Line)' indicates the pursuit of both
economic and social values in overall coporate management activities.
By pursuing DBL, SK is carrying out business model (BM)
innovation in a form that can reflect social values.

DBL = Economic Value + Social Value DBL = Economic Value + Social Value

By pursuing DBL, SK is carrying out business model (BM) innovation in a form that can reflect social values.

Building a Social Enterprise Ecosystem

SPC (Social Progress Credit)

‘Social Progress Credit (SPC)’ is an experiment conducted by
SK to activate the ecosystem of social enterprises.
SPC is a project that converts social values created by
social enterprises into currency and provides equivalent
value in ‘cash incentives.’
In other words, it is a value converting or value exchanging
project, which converts social values created by social
enterprises into economic values.
