On June 2, S-OIL (Representative Nasser Al-Mahasher) held a Ceremony for Launching the ‘2016 Endangered Natural Treasure Protection Campaign’ at the auditorium of its headquarters in Mapo-gu, Seoul and made a donation of 300 mil. won to relevant groups including the Association of Korean Otter Conservation, the Korean Association for Bird Protection and the Korean Association for Conservation of Freshwater Fish.
The refiner’s contribution will be spent in protecting endangered natural treasures such as otters, cranes, Eoreumchi, and longhorn beetles.
S-OIL signed the One Cultural Asset Protected by One Equity Agreement with the Cultural Heritage Administration in 2008 to participate in activities to protect endangered natural treasures, which are in need of long-term, continuous attention and sponsorship. Since then, the refiner made donation for protecting endangered natural treasures and executed volunteer works with its employees and customers, and their families every year.
“S-OIL deeply appreciated to various civil environmental groups and volunteers who dedicate themselves to protecting the eco system and researching despite of adverse conditions.” said S-OIL President Ryu Yul. He also said “We will join hands in raising public awareness and further expanding their action in protecting the eco system in the years ahead.”
The refiners’ natural treasure protection activities include the support of the activities of endangered species research and protection groups, volunteer work of its employees and customers, and their families to protect natural treasures, activities of University Students’ Natural Treasure Protection Group, the Natural Treasure Class for children in low-income families, and twinning relations with military camps to protect the ecosystem of the DMZ. Until last year, about 3,600 S-OIL employees and customers, and their families participated in volunteer work and about 3,000 children from low-income families took part in eco-education camps.
