● A 19-year tradition since 2008; CEO Jong-woo Kim and key executives join this year’s volunteering

●​ "We will continue to fulfill our corporate social responsibility _ base_d on our well-established volunteer culture."

SKC (CEO Jong-woo Kim) announced today that it conducted a cemetery cleansing activity, including placing Korean national flags (Taegeukgi), at the National Cemetery in Seoul to pay tribute to fallen heroes ahead of the 71st Memorial Day.

Key executives, including CEO Jong-woo Kim and CFO Dong-ju Park, visited the site to participate in the activities alongside employees. The volunteer group began by observing a moment of silence at the Memorial Tower for patriotic martyrs and fallen heroes. They then moved to Cemetery No. 19, which honors 913 fallen soldiers and officers, to plant national flags, pull weeds, and wipe down tombstones.

SKC’s cemetery cleansing activity is not a one-off event but part of a deeply rooted corporate volunteer culture. Following the launch of its volunteer group in 2004, SKC established a sisterhood relationship with the Seoul National Cemetery in 2008 and has continued this initiative for 19 consecutive years.

An SKC official stated, "Through this activity, where management and employees came together, we were able to once again honor the sacrifices of our patriotic martyrs. As a responsible company that contributes to the nation and local communities, we will continue to carry out regular social contribution activities moving forward." [ENDS]
