  SB Sunbo conducted its 2026 Emergency Response Training in May to strengthen preparedness for fire and explosion incidents and enhance employees’ ability to respond quickly and accurately in emergency situations. The training was carried out across multiple sites, starting at Dadae Plant 2 on May 15, followed by Dadae Plant 1, Gimhae Plant, and Gupyeong Plant. All employees, including managers, in-house workers, and partner company staff, participated in this practical, scenario-based training program. The drills covered the full emergency response process, including fire detection and reporting, alert dissemination, initial firefighting using extinguishers and hydrants, and emergency evacuation procedures. The training focused on improving rapid response capabilities and minimizing potential loss of life and property in real-world situations. In addition, emergency medical response training was conducted, including simulations of fracture injuries requiring evacuation assistance and cases of cardiac arrest caused by excessive smoke inhalation. Participants practiced first aid skills such as immobilizing fractures, patient transport using stretchers, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and other life-saving techniques. Training on the Heimlich maneuver was also provided, allowing participants to practice proper first aid responses to airway obstruction incidents that may occur in daily life. A representative from the local fire department attended the training session at Dadae Plant 1 to observe SB Sunbo’s emergency preparedness activities. Through this training, SB Sunbo reinforced its emergency response capabilities and reaffirmed its commitment to building a workplace where safety is the top priority.

  SB Sunbo held its 2026 Team Leaders Workshop on May 22 at the Fairfield by Marriott Busan Songdo Beach under the theme, “Improving Communication, Transforming Processes.” The workshop was organized to enhance interdepartmental communication and strengthen collaborative work processes. Team leaders gathered to review the flow of information and data between preceding and subsequent work stages and discuss practical measures to improve operational efficiency. During the morning session, team leaders presented their key assignments and shared how their departments contribute to the overall workflow. In the afternoon, participants engaged in open discussions to identify gaps between the expected inputs and outputs of different departments, analyze challenges in cross-functional collaboration, and develop practical solutions. A special lecture on process innovation also provided valuable insights into effective workplace communication and continuous process improvement. In his closing remarks, Chairman Choi Geum-sik emphasized the importance of internal collaboration, stating, “Our colleagues are our most important internal customers. A culture of respect, consideration, and cooperation is the foundation of meaningful communication and outstanding performance.” SB Sunbo will continue to strengthen its collaborative capabilities through ongoing communication and process innovation, supporting sustainable growth and organizational excellence.

  SB Sunbo held its April Morning Lecture on April 29 at the main auditorium of its headquarters under the theme, “Building a Trust-Based Organizational Culture Through Appreciation.”  The lecture was delivered by instructor Jeong Seol-i, who emphasized the importance of trust and appreciation within organizations.  During the session, trust was highlighted as a key factor in improving organizational performance. In particular, appreciation was introduced as an essential tool for reinforcing positive behavior, creating psychological safety, and fostering a collaborative workplace culture.  The lecture also introduced an effective three-step framework for expressing appreciation: “Situation – Behavior – Impact.” The speaker explained the importance of communication that specifically connects employees’ actions with positive outcomes and achievements.  In addition, four key principles of effective appreciation were shared:   • Immediacy (providing feedback right after a situation occurs)   • Specificity (focusing on observable actions)   • Connection (linking actions to team goals)   • Consistency (applying feedback fairly and consistently)  SB Sunbo plans to continue operating various morning lecture programs to strengthen trust among employees and foster a healthy and positive organizational culture.

  SB Sunbo held a morning lecture for employees at the main auditorium of its headquarters on March 11. Under the theme of “The Attitude of Mutual Respect for Stronger Relationships,” the session focused on practical ways to promote smooth communication and a healthy culture of collaboration within the organization.  The lecture emphasized “relationship-building skills” as a key factor for a successful workplace culture and highlighted the importance of recognizing and respecting others’ thoughts and emotions. In particular, the session introduced practical approaches centered on acknowledgment, respect, and action through active listening and empathy.  Through the lecture, Sunbo Family members reflected on their everyday communication habits and learned effective ways to build positive relationships and maintain mutual respect even in conflict situations.

  The morning lecture held on February 25 focused on the theme “The Power of Questions that Encourage Participation,” highlighting the importance of asking effective questions to promote communication and engagement within organizations at SB Sunbo Co., Ltd..  The session was led by Kyung-Hwa Kim, who explained that improving organizational performance requires not only hard skills, such as job-related expertise, but also soft skills, including leadership, collaboration, and communication.  She emphasized that creating an environment where employees feel comfortable sharing their ideas freely is a key factor in enhancing creativity and teamwork.  The lecture also introduced the concept of Psychological Safety, highlighting that an environment in which employees can freely express questions and opinions leads to a greater number of ideas and solutions.  In addition, the speaker noted that encouraging diverse perspectives through thoughtful questioning and fostering a culture of open communication are important responsibilities of leaders. Such an organizational culture, she explained, can ultimately drive corporate innovation and performance.  The February morning lecture series, held across three sessions, provided employees of SB Sunbo Co., Ltd. with new perspectives on their organization. The insights gained from the lectures are expected to translate into practical actions in the workplace, contributing to positive changes in the company’s organizational culture.

  A morning lecture examining the trends and practical strategies of ESG management, which has emerged as a key topic in corporate management, was held on February 11 at SB Sunbo Co., Ltd..  The session was led by Jae-Ho Ahn, who explained that as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) has become a core standard for evaluating corporate sustainability, the paradigm of corporate management is undergoing significant change.  In the past, corporate evaluations focused primarily on financial performance. Today, however, non-financial values—including environmental responsibility, social accountability, and transparent governance—have also become critical factors in assessing a company’s overall performance.  The lecture also emphasized that ESG is no longer simply a matter of corporate image management, but rather a strategic management approach directly linked to corporate competitiveness. A systematic ESG strategy across areas such as responding to environmental changes, managing supply chains, and communicating with stakeholders plays an important role in enhancing corporate value and establishing a foundation for sustainable growth.

 The morning lecture held on February 4 focused on the theme “Explaining Leaders vs. Persuading Leaders.” Se-Young Lee, Principal Manager of the ESG Communication Team at SB Sunbo Co., Ltd., delivered the lecture, sharing practical insights on presentation and communication strategies for team leaders and managers. Lee emphasized that the effectiveness of leadership presentations depends on whether they remain at the level of simply “explaining” information or evolve into “persuading” the organization to act and make decisions. According to Lee, explanation-focused presentations may lead to more questions and extended discussions, potentially delaying decision-making. In contrast, persuasion-focused presentations clearly convey key messages and can accelerate organizational execution. Lee also noted that nonverbal elements, such as eye contact, gestures, and overall attitude, play an important role in enhancing the impact of a presentation. In addition, practical presentation strategies were shared, highlighting that when addressing complex issues, leaders should organize their messages into short, clear, and concise statements, which is essential for effective leadership communication.

  SB SUNBO Co., Ltd. held a morning lecture on “Prevention of Workplace Sexual Harassment and Business Etiquette” on December 3 at the company’s headquarters training center.  The one-hour session was conducted from 8:00 to 9:00 AM. From 8:00 to 8:30 AM, Mi-Sook Yeom, an instructor from Empathy Education Consulting, delivered a lecture on the prevention of workplace sexual harassment. From 8:30 to 9:00 AM, Chae-Young Lee, an instructor from Synergy Dream, led a session on business etiquette.  The workplace sexual harassment prevention training is one of the five mandatory statutory trainings in Korea, legally required to ensure that employers provide a safe and discrimination-free working environment for their employees.  The training aims to prevent workplace sexual harassment and to foster an organizational culture capable of responding appropriately when such incidents occur.  The program covered key topics including:  • relevant laws and regulations regarding workplace sexual harassment  • the company’s policies for preventing sexual harassment  • procedures and response measures in the event of an incident  • grievance counseling and support procedures for affected employees  • other preventive measures necessary to promote a respectful workplace  SB SUNBO will continue to provide educational programs like this to ensure that all members of the SUNBO Family can work in a safe and respectful environment.  The following session on Business Etiquette provided an opportunity to reflect on the importance of professional manners, which serve as the starting point for smooth collaboration within an organization.  Business etiquette plays a vital role in shaping first impressions, as well as in everyday workplace interactions such as communication style and basic attitudes among colleagues. Although these elements may seem small, they are closely connected to work performance.  Employees who demonstrate strong business etiquette tend to receive positive evaluations not only for their job performance but also for their relationships within the organization. Ultimately, these qualities contribute to strengthening the company’s overall competitiveness.  It is hoped that through this lecture, members of the SUNBO Family gained a deeper understanding of respectful communication, collaborative workplace habits, and the mindset required of responsible professionals.

 On October 18, 2025, the SB Sunbo Team Leaders’ Workshop was held at Shilla Stay Myeongji under the theme of “Preventing Workplace Conflict and Strengthening Communication-Centered Leadership.”  A total of 48 participants attended the event, including Chairman Choi Geum-sik, Vice Chairman Park Doo-sun, six executives, and 42 team leaders from business sites across the country. The workshop provided an opportunity to share practical organizational challenges and explore effective solutions for communication.  Under the topic “Analyzing the Causes of Team Conflicts and Improving Communication Within and Between Teams,” each group analyzed real conflict cases experienced in the workplace and proposed practical leadership strategies and improvement ideas to address them.  Through the discussions, five key leadership keywords emerged: Trust, Clarity, Empathy, Feedback, and Collaboration. These five principles will serve as essential guidelines for team leaders in practicing effective leadership going forward.   Key Leadership Keywords 1. Trust: Real solutions begin when problems are shared openly rather than hidden. 2. Clarity: Ambiguous instructions create confusion, while clear feedback builds a strong organizational culture. 3. Empathy: Leadership that acknowledges generational differences and understands individual circumstances. 4. Feedback: Timely and specific feedback determines the speed of organizational growth. 5. Collaboration: Breaking down barriers between teams and working together to find solutions.

Determine the core message Define the key message of the presentation and structure the details accordingly (problem – cause – solution). Collect supporting materials Strengthen the content by using statistics, quotations, and case studies from reliable sources. Design a clear structure Organize the presentation into a clear framework—introduction, main body, and conclusion—with three key points in the main section.  Three Conditions for Effective Feedback Focus on facts rather than the person Objective descriptions reduce defensiveness because they evaluate actions rather than judging individuals. Be specific Example: “The report looks good overall, but it feels slightly lacking in some areas. It would be even better with a bit more detail.” Explain how the behavior affects others Example: “When you don’t share your opinion during meetings, it becomes difficult to explore diverse perspectives. I hope you can participate more actively next time.”
