Board Diversity/Expertise/Independence
In appointing directors, SK Chemicals considers candidates' experience and areas of expertise to ensure balanced decision-making and effective management oversight. Candidates are reviewed to confirm that they are not disqualified under the Commercial Act, its Enforcement Decree, and other applicable regulations, and are ultimately nominated to and appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders. In addition, as part of its efforts to enhance board diversity and expertise, SK Chemicals has appointed one female director.

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.
