As EnviRun and supporting children with developmental disabilities are two major themes of SK Innovation\u2019s company-wide social contribution projects, SKBMC\u2019s activities in the first half of 2022 are great examples of how global business site can also effectively operate ESG programs that match not only the company\u2019s goals but also the local needs.<\/span><\/p>\n
