Social Contribution
Community Activities around
Ulsan Grand Park and Business Networks
SK innovation created Ulsan Grand Park in 2006 and donated it to Ulsan City and it has since engaged in various community programs to deliver happiness to the residents. In the Rose Garden in the park, a rose festival is held with the theme of 'Ulsan, a gracious and warm city of roses', attracting about 200,000 visitors every year. The Forest Workshop in the park is a nature experience and learning area, which offers wood crafts classes in Korean and English and a gift-making program for the underprivileged with Ulsan middle and high school student volunteers.
Regional Co-growth Activities
SK incheon petrochem has carried out various co-growth activities with the local community. For example, the 'patron campaign' started in November 2015 to invigorate the local market and increase communication between employees and local merchants. The campaign encourages employees to use nearby restaurants for lunch and dinner and also purchase services and products at local stores, which helps vitalize the local market and promotes interaction with local merchants. In addition, the 'shop at traditional markets' campaign was kicked off in September 2015 with the SK Residents Association, to activate the depressed local economy and to help our neighbors in need. Through the campaign, local welfare facilities (including community centers for the elderly and children' centers) have been provided with daily necessities, which has helped vitalize nearby traditional markets.
Employee Donation Program
SK innovation has been carrying out the 'one person for one support account' campaign to promote a donation culture, through which supplies have been delivered to the poor and support activities related to childhood cancer and emergency rescues have been carried out.
In addition, the company's cafeteria offers a 'table for two' menu every Friday. Employees pay 300 won per person to buy elementary school lunches in developing countries including Kenya and Rwanda.
