Board Diversity/Expertise/Independence
When appointing directors, SK Chemicals prioritizes candidates' experience and expertise. The company recommends candidates based on their qualifications, appointment background, and independence criteria, disclosing all relevant information. External directors, experts in various fields such as industry and economics, provide review opinions in their respective areas to assist in rational decision-making. SK Chemicals plans to appoint female external directors in the future to ensure board diversity.

Independence of the Board of Directors
With the increasing importance of the independence and diversity of the board of directors, SK Chemicals has established voluntary guidelines in 2022 to address the independence of independent directors and ensure diversity on the board. The guidelines for the independence of independent directors specify legal requirements and strengthened recommendations, while the guidelines for board diversity articulate general diversity requirements and comprehensive expertise criteria.
