The independent directors of SK Innovation and SK IE Technology (SKIET) visited CES 2023, a global conference for cutting-edge technology, held in Las Vegas, USA.

Five independent directors from SK Innovation were Chairman of the Board of Directors (former congressman) Kim Jong-hoon, former President of Citibank Korea Park Jin-hoe, professor of Accounting at Korea University Choi Woo-seok, professor at Korean University Law School Kim Tae-jin, and former Vice Minister of Knowledge and Economy Kim Jung-gwan.<\/span><\/p>\n

The independent directors gathered in Las Vegas, where CES is held, two days before the event (January 3). They have thoroughly prepared by learning the core themes of CES 2023 and notable technology trends. They invited CES experts to lecture on \u201cImplications of CES 2023\u201d and discussed the meaning of CES Innovation Awards that SK has received.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On January 4, they held the SK Innovation independent directors’ workshop on site and an open discussion session on measures to develop governance, the central axis of ESG management.
