Suppliers ESG Assessment for Mutual Growth
By requesting an external agency to perform ESG diagnosis of suppliers to SK chemicals, we understand the status of ESG management of suppliers in accordance with international guidelines. As part of our long-term purchasing policy, we plan to gradually reflect the evaluation level of ESG risks with key suppliers in our purchasing decisions.
In cooperation with Nice Information Service Co., Ltd., a credit information provider, and Quantified ESG, Inc., an ESG research agency, we conducted an ESG assessment of 83 suppliers and 30 suppliers responded. In 2022, we plan to conduct a practical ESG assessment by selecting assessment targets step by step and will select 40 suppliers for primary management first, educate them on the importance of ESG management activities and the meaning of the assessment in advance, and conduct a self-diagnostic assessment. After the assessment, we will analyze the results and identify high-risk suppliers and establish improvement measures.
