SKL is absorbed in mitigating the possible impact of financial services on the environment. In addition to participating in and sponsoring various environmental initiatives, we have the "SKL Environmental Policy" in place as the prime directive for promoting environmental sustainability. To effectively promote environmental sustainability, we set up the Environmental Protection Group under the Corporate Sustainability Committee to implement various action plans and report the results of implementation to the Corporate Sustainability Committee on a regular basis. To make net zero emissions by 2030 a reality, we have made an overall plan for the establishment of an enterprise environment and energy management system, hoping to work towards SDG 13 by improving energy efficiency in various business activities.
