recognition of its significant increase in quality jobs and its improvement in
‘work-life balance’

On the 23^rd,
SK nexilis received an award from the Minister of Employment and Labor for its
contribution to job creation. Launched in 2009, the annual award is the Korean
government’s recognition of a leading role played by organizations and
individuals in the creation of quality jobs during the year. SK nexilis is officially
recognized as an outstanding job creator through the minister’s award following
its designation as one of the ‘Best Companies to Work for’ by the Ministry of
Employment and Labor and the Presidential Committee on Jobs in July.

As of June 2021, the
number of SK nexilis employees stood at 432, a 62% increase in two years and a 95%
spike from four years ago. The proportion of people under the age of 34
increased from 34% in 2019 to 42% in 2021. Most notably, SK nexilis has made a
large-scale transition of non-regular workers to regular workers. The company
has surpassed the 10% mark in the number of status-transferred employees
between 2017 and 2021.

SK nexilis has
also improved its job quality. Following the SKC’s acquisition, the company
changed the three-shift system to a four-shift system, creating additional jobs.
In January 2021, it began to implement the flexible working system and the
PC-off system to further improve its working conditions and work-life balance.

An SK nexilis official
said, “The company will join forces with its employees to achieve its goal of
growing into the world’s No. 1 copper foil manufacturer _ base_d on its top-tier
copper foil manufacturing technology for EV batteries,” stressing, “We will
_ create_ a positive work environment where we can keep our employees happy about
their production of the world’s best products while the company can contribute
