SK SUPEX Committee Chairman Kim Chang-keun

SK SUPEX Committee Chairman Kim Chang-keun, in his New Year’s message, said, “SK Business Group aims at reaching 300 trillion won in its corporate value during this year in accordance with its new management system dubbed Separate & Together 3.0 Regime.” Kim made the remarks at the business group’s New Year’s event at W Seoul Walker Hill Hotel on Jan. 2.

The gathering attracted some 500 group executives and staff members including SK Innovation Vice Chairman Koo Ja-young, concurrently chairman of SK Global Growth Committee, and SK Telecom President Ha Sung-min, concurrently chairman of SK Strategic Committee. 

In order to achieve the goal of hitting the 300 trillion won mark in its corporate value, he said, his group’s subsidiaries will solidify responsible autonomy in management. 

Kim also said his group will redouble efforts to enhance SK stakeholders’ happiness, one of the group’s own values, by aggressively putting into practice ‘happiness management’ along with pursuing a society from the viewpoint of “happiness starting with us.” 

Looking back at last year, Kim said his group chalked up business performances similar to 2012 outwardly, but suffered setbacks in almost all businesses except the semiconductor sector, and the year 2013 was a difficult time for conglomerates, buffeted by the effects of the global economic recession and coupled with their shareholders’ heightened expectations.
