Portfolio ESG Management Policy

The growing importance of ESG management and the rising demand for ESG disclosure have expanded the scope of ESG risk management from parent companies to subsidiaries. Furthermore, subsidiaries’ ESG risk management is increasingly seen to be of great importance, as it affects the ESG performance and reputation of the parent company. For these reasons, SK Square is actively promoting robust ESG practices among its affiliated companies and subsidiaries to ensure comprehensive and effective ESG and risk management.
