[ESG Case Study] How SK Telecom works with its supplier to reduce carbon footprint?

In responding to climate change, SK Telecom manages not only its own performance in GHG emissions, energy conservation and resource saving but also the supply chain related to its business. SK Telecom consults with telecom equipment suppliers on energy efficiency of developing equipment in order to minimize the electricity consumption and GHG emissions. For instance, the company requested Samsung Electronics, a supplier of its 5G antennas, to design and supply more energy-efficient telecom equipment. As a result, the energy-efficient equipment helped the company save electricity payment and GHG emissions.
