█ Completed a pilot plant for sulfide-based solid electrolyte at Iksan Plant 2 in Jeonbuk with an annual production capacity of up to 70 tons… Sales to commence in earnest in the second half of the year
█ Possesses three distinct technological advantages: high ionic conductivity particle size control technology, moisture stability and high ionic conductivity composition, and the development of various mass production processes using dry/wet synthesis methods
█ CEO Kim Yeon-seop: "We are ready to begin full-scale production of sulfide-based solid electrolytes and will lead the all-solid-state battery market as a leading material company through sales to customers along with nickel-plated foil."

█ Completed development of 'Nickel-Plated Foil,' an electrode current collector for sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries, with nickel plating on both sides of electrolytic copper foil.
█ Capable of adjusting nickel thickness and copper foil strength to meet customer requirements; features high adhesion to solid electrolytes and excellent corrosion resistance due to nickel surface treatment.
█ Initiated business feasibility review for composite materials for batteries following inquiries from major customers; leveraging experience in PET material development to respond to customer requests.
█ CEO Kim Yeon-seop: "The copper foil industry is a market difficult for latecomers to enter. As the first company to successfully localize copper foil production in Korea, we aim to secure leadership in the next-generation copper foil market and capture future growth opportunities."

█ Aims to enhance CSR activities diversity through the introduction of a joint donation platform for LOTTE Chemical Division employees
█ ‘GiveOn’ = ‘Give’ + ‘On (温)’, expected to share employees' donation awareness and spread a culture of sharing
█ Contributing to the expansion of a practical donation culture by diversifying donation content and encouraging voluntary participation through 'donation choice'
█ Heoong-ki Lee, Head of the Chemical Division, expects 'transparency and efficiency in social contribution activities, with a goal of developing an ESG platform in the future'

█ Record quarterly revenue and sustained operating profit thanks to customer diversification strategy and increased sales volume in North America in the second quarter
█ Increased sales of ESS and hybrid-oriented copper foil in the second half of the year, and industry's first HVLP4-grade product for AI accelerators is expected to be supplied in full-scale from next year upon completion of quality tests with North American end customers
█ Despite market uncertainties, we will increase corporate value by securing high-end market leadership through customer-centered activities, technology leadership, global base strategy, and development of high-value-added products," said CEO Kim Yeon-seop.

█ Four companies of LOTTE Chemical Group (LOTTE Chemical, LOTTE Fine Chemical, LOTTE Aluminium, LOTTE Energy Materials) sign an MOU with the Community Chest of Korea to participate in the "Good Workplace" program, aiming to realize social contribution activities and spread the culture of sharing.
█ Employees will donate a certain amount and the remainder of their salary, while the company operates a matching grant system that matches the employees' donations 1:1.
