SK Telecom and 11 other SK Group affiliates have invested in the project since March 2018. According to the Korean NGO Climate Change Center (CCC), which runs the project, SK Group has obtained 648,783 credits. SK Telecom should not use carbon credits generated under such circumstances to claim climate progress. SK Telecom itself has acknowledged that the emission reductions claimed by the Myanmar cookstove project cannot be verified. The project has thus been excluded from the green economic activities SK Telecom reports to investors.
