SK Innovation’s effort to protect nature is crossing the border to China, spreading positive impacts in more areas outside of Korea. Recently, members of SK Global Chemical have joined the company’s Sanhaejinmi Plogging Campaign, a large scale volunteer activity that is a part of SK Innovation’s practical ESG program to solve the plastic wastes problem.

As we introduced in the previous post, the Sanhaejinmi Plogging Campaign is participated by all members of SK Innovation, including the CEOs and Presidents. Everyone can join the campaign with not only co-workers but also their family members, friends, etc.

Joining the members in Korea, SK Global Chemical’s employees who are working in China have been plogging and collecting plastic wastes in Shanghai, Lianyungang, Tianjin, etc.

On June 22, about 20 members of SK Global Chemical’s China Investment Management Office participated in plogging activity around Dishui Lake, an artificial lake in Shanghai. On this day, the members reaffirmed their strong will to protect the environment while picking up the wastes, especially plastic that were floating along the lake shore.

A volunteer of the campaign in China said “We feel the same when it comes to protection of the environment, no matter where we are.” “While we were plogging, I could see that the local Chinese people also showed interest in our campaign.”

The employees of SK Global Chemical will continue the plogging campaign around China. With this strong will and action, SK Innovation members will keep making effort to spread such good influences to more people in more areas to jointly build a cleaner and more beautiful world.
