An SK Securities representative stated, "This result is not just a declaration, but the outcome of actual changes made throughout the organization," adding, "We will continue to focus on substantial ESG management tasks and strive to become a trusted financial company for stakeholders such as customers, shareholders, and employees."

Meanwhile, SK Securities applies an ESG checklist that incorporates environmental and social factors into its investment review process to screen for ESG risks. In addition, the company is establishing an effective responsibility system across society and governance by conducting human rights risk assessments, establishing human rights guidelines for partner companies, and advancing financial consumer protection policies.
