SK Telecom said on the 28th that it has built an "ESG data integration platform" to enhance the transparency and reliability of ESG data. The platform meets the ESG disclosure standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Korea Sustainability Standards Board (KSSB), and provides a system that can proactively respond to mandatory ESG disclosures in Korea.
The platform integrates and manages a total of 280 environment, social, and governance data points, including greenhouse gas emissions, supply chain information, and ethical management. In particular, SKT has linked internal systems to automatically collect about 50% of ESG-related data, improving efficiency.
Through a real-time, AI chatbot-based response system, it quickly answers inquiries related to ESG indicators, and visualizes data through dashboards to provide intuitive management information. It also strengthens functions to manage and forecast the status of net zero initiatives.
SK Telecom plans to use this platform to centrally manage the ESG data of its subsidiaries and to disclose its sustainability reports and climate information disclosure reports transparently and accurately. Eom Jong-hwan, head of SK Telecom's ESG Promotion Office, said, "We will efficiently manage data in line with mandatory ESG disclosures and respond quickly to stakeholder demands."
