With the year drawing to a close, SK Innovation invited Global Communication Coordinators (“Comm. Coordinators”) to Korea, where the company’s headquarters and first manufacturing facility are located, and held a three-day workshop from November 23 to 25. The workshop also acts as a platform for all Comm. Coordinators around the world to show their “One Team Spirit.”

 

The Comm. Coordinators are responsible for promoting SK Innovation globally and communicating with the company’s overseas and domestic members. With the expansion of its global businesses, SK Innovation has selected Comm. Coordinators in its major overseas operations starting April last year to spread the corporate culture of “Separately but Together” and facilitate smooth communication with its global businesses and members. Currently, 30 Coordinators are actively engaged at 28 workplaces in 16 countries.
