● S-OIL donated 200 million won to support heating oil for energy-poor households through “Hope to You” campaign.
- The refiner donated fuel coupons worth 1 million per household to 200 households with senior citizens who live alone and to grandparents raising grandchildren.
S-OIL held the ‘Hope to You’ Campaign to support the provision of heating oil to the energy-poor class.
On Nov. 28, as part of the campaign, S-OIL CEO Othman Al-Ghamdi donated 200 million won to Cha Heung-bong, chairman of the Korea National Council on Social Welfare (KNCSW), in order to support heating oil for low-income households. This donation will be delivered to 200 households with senior citizens who live alone and also to grandparents raising grandchildren in the form of fuel coupons worth 1 million won per household. The refiner and the KNCSW received recommendations of beneficiaries from welfare institutes nationwide and created a shortlist.
“I was quite heart-broken to hear that there are neighbors out there going through the cold winter without heating oil due to financial difficulty,” said CEO Al-Ghamdi who visited beneficiaries’ homes and fueled heating oil in person. “I’m pleased that I could deliver S-OIL’s heating oil to neighbors in real need and hope that our little help will be conveyed as a gesture of a warm hope to needy neighbors.”
