In this initiative, local employees gather unused clothing, accessories, household items, books, and small appliances to donate to Emmaus,* an international nonprofit organization. These donated items are repaired and sold by Emmaus, with the proceeds supporting those in need. In 2024, the event took place in three regions: Paris, Balan, and Serquigny. Donations included <strong>six boxes from Paris, five boxes from Serquigny, and 15 boxes, along with one desk and six lockers from Balan<\/strong>. In total, <strong>26 boxes<\/strong> of donated goods found new homes, and the sales proceeds were invested in projects aimed at empowering disadvantaged individuals toward self-reliance. What could have been discarded items became valuable stepping stones for someone else&#8217;s new beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">*Emmaus: Founded in France in 1949, Emmaus is an international nonprofit dedicated to combating poverty and social exclusion through various initiatives. It provides housing and job opportunities for marginalized groups, such as the homeless, unemployed, and refugees, supporting their independence through education and training programs. By collecting, repairing, and reselling donated goods, Emmaus not only supports the environment but also reinvests all proceeds into social projects.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_123759\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123759\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-123759 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/\ubcf8\ubb38\uc774\ubbf8\uc9c04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"492\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-123759\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Local staff at SK Geocentric France and SK Functional Polymer gathered for a group photo<br \/>after collecting clothing and household items to donate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;\">In some locations, flea markets are organized using donated goods from employees. SK Earthon Shenzhen in China is one such example. Since 2022, this flea market has auctioned various items donated by employees. For each item sold, the company matches the proceeds with an equal donation, and the combined funds are then used to support elderly welfare programs through the Nanshan District Charity Federation in Shenzhen. It\u2019s a wonderful demonstration of how small acts of engagement by employees can grow into significant contributions to the local community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;\">SK Enmove Japan (SKENJ), a subsidiary of SK Enmove, joined a vaccine support program in 2024 led by JCV**, a UNICEF-affiliated organization. This program involves collecting plastic bottle caps, recycling them, and donating the proceeds as vaccine funding. Vaccinating a child in a developing country requires roughly 2 kilograms (1,000 caps) of bottle caps. In July last year, SKENJ <strong>collected approximately 4.5 kilograms of caps and donated them to JCV<\/strong>. Each bottle cap became a valuable gift, contributing to the life-saving vaccinations for children in nearby countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;\">This year, in an effort to expand the scope of the vaccine program, SKENJ employees also donated books, DVDs, and other items in June. The donated items were sold to a used bookstore chain, and the proceeds were used to fund vaccinations. What started as a simple act of collecting plastic bottle caps has grown into a larger movement for change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">**Japan Committee, Vaccines for the World\u2019s Children (JCV): Established in Japan in 1994, JCV is an international nonprofit supporting vaccine programs.

As part of this initiative, the company donated <strong>53 refurbished IT devices<\/strong> through the La Collecte Tech*** platform. These devices, which were once difficult for recipients to access, now serve as valuable tools for online learning and job searches. Through this simple yet impactful effort, SKFP has contributed to supporting individuals who previously faced barriers to accessing technology, providing them with a foundation for new opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;\">***La Collecte Tech: Launched in 2020 by the French nonprofit organization Emma\u00fcs Connect, this platform is dedicated to recycling unused IT equipment.

Each year, SKEI runs a campaign to recycle used IT equipment, including office PCs. Since 2019, SKEI has been participating in HP&#8217;s corporate hardware recycling program, the HP Sustainability Benefit Report \u2013 Hardware Disposal Program, by donating end-of-life IT devices to HP. <strong>From 2019 to 2024, a total of 222 IT devices<\/strong> have been collected, disassembled, and sorted by material to be reused as recycled resources. By revitalizing unnecessary equipment into reusable resources, SKEI is contributing to the development of a more efficient circular economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;\">SKEI is also committed to ensuring that not a single used battery is carelessly discarded by continuing its everyday environmental practices with employees. The used battery recycling campaign, initiated <strong>on a quarterly basis in 2023<\/strong>, is continuing this year as well. By consistently collecting and delivering used batteries to professional recyclers, SKEI aims to reduce environmental pollution and resource waste caused by improper disposal. This ongoing effort represents a positive step forward, as employees directly engage in resource conservation through everyday actions. Looking ahead, SKEI is committed to exploring simpler yet effective environmental practices that employees can adopt in their daily lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-123766\" src=\"https:\/\/askinno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"769\" height=\"473\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%96%A0_Lets_Run_Together_Toward_a_Better_Tomorrow\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; color: #fc429f;\"><strong>\u25a0 Let\u2019s Run!

By the third event, held in June 2024, participation had grown to over 120 people, including around 20 SKBA employees, who ran together for about three hours to raise even more funds. SKBA also contributed as an event sponsor, ensuring the race&#8217;s success and providing additional donation to the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Jackson County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Nanum Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 15pt;\">Beyond being a fun and shared experience, the Run to Greatness 5K has evolved into a meaningful opportunity to support local children in growing up in a better environment.
