Sustainability Committee

Sustainability Committee

 

With the intention of demonstrating SKM's determination to move towards sustainable development, we have established the Sustainability Committee in 2021, in hopes of looking after the Earth and environment, establishing connections with local communities and improving corporate governance.

The Sustainability Committee is chaired by the President, who is joined by senior executives at the vice president level across SKM. This committee meets once a quarter and consists of the Sustainability Secretariat and four other teams, which are set up according to functional units. While the decision-making level is responsible for SKM's overall ESG policy direction, the aforesaid four teams are planning and assessing various ESG action plans. Dedicated personnel from various departments under the Headquarter and various stores are appointed as ESG specialists to assist in communicating and implementing related matters. On the other hand, the Sustainability Secretariat is tasked with collecting data and rolling out sustainability initiatives at each level to ensure that everyone at SKM will move towards sustainable development together.
