[팍스넷뉴스 전세진 기자] SK E&C laid the foundation for strengthening ESG (environmental, social, governance) management at the regular shareholders’ meeting held on the 26th.
On that day, SK E&C announced at the 59th regular shareholders’ meeting held at the Gwanhoon office in Jongno-gu, Seoul that it approved some changes in the articles of incorporation, such as establishing the’ESG Committee’ and adding eco-friendly projects to target projects.
SK E&C established the ESG Committee under the Board of Directors to make ESG-related decisions and strengthen management strategies. In addition, the company plans to innovate the governance structure (G), one of the ESGs, by stipulating the’Governance Charter’ in the articles of incorporation for the transparent performance of the board of directors.
The Corporate Governance Charter will contain concrete action plans for the board of directors to establish sound corporate governance and advance management. The board of directors performs its duties in accordance with the powers and responsibilities granted by the relevant laws and governance charter.
At the general shareholders’ meeting that day, 17 new target projects were added to the articles of incorporation. It is a task to stipulate the expansion of SK E&C’s business portfolio, which has recently entered the environment industry through the acquisition of EMC Holdings (Environmental Facility Management). Accordingly, ▲ sewage treatment facility design and construction ▲ waste collection, classification, incineration and reclamation business ▲ carbon capture, storage and use business ▲ recycling of resources and trading of recovered resources were included.
The dividend stance also continued. SK E&C has decided to pay a dividend of 600 won per share for the third consecutive year following 2018 and 2019. SK E&C’s net income based on separate financial statements at the end of September last year was 190.4 billion won, an increase of 39.8% from the same period last year. Other agendas addressed at the general shareholders’ meeting that day were ▲ approval of the 59th financial statements ▲ amendment of the articles of incorporation ▲ appointment of directors ▲ approval of the compensation limit for directors, etc. On this day, all the agendas passed as the original plan, and Park Kyung-il, in charge of business operation, was newly appointed as the executive director.
An official from SK E&C said, “At this shareholder meeting, we have laid a foothold for new businesses, such as eco-friendly,” and “We plan to reinforce a transparent management system and lead ESG management through the ESG Committee and the Governance Charter.”
