Managing Business for a Sustainable Society
Based on the three principles of “Happy Participation, Happy Coexistence, and Happy Change,” SK Networks carries out social contribution activities to induce better changes within our Social Contribution. In addition to organizational activities for each business, we pursue voluntary social contribution activities by guaranteeing freedom to engage in volunteer activities for employees as well as expand our scope to entail partnerships with our stakeholders.
When SK Networks seeks to run any social contribution, an internal review takes place after considerations are made on whether the activity is identified as social responsibility of large conglomerates and corresponds to the company’s identity (i.e., links with business/Social Contribution).

(available advisory services: management planning, marketing, legal counsel, financial/accounting, translation and interpretation, R&D, etc.)
In 2021, SK Networks is running the "SK Networks Social Contribution Package" with a goal to achieve 20 volunteer work hours per person. SK Networks will accompany the Social Contribution's growth through sustained social contribution to maximize the happiness of the entire society.
