With the year drawing to a close, SK Innovation invited Global Communication Coordinators (“Comm.

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.
