[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] S-OIL opened the 'Sunshine Sharing Convenience Store' on the 17th at the Tongillo Ilpum Gas Station in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, in collaboration with the Korea National Council on Social Welfare, providing the operation rights free of charge to socially vulnerable groups.

Utilizing the idle space at the gas station, a convenience store was established with joint sponsorship from Emart24, offering operation rights and profits for five years to economically disadvantaged vulnerable groups such as single-parent families, migrant women, and burn victims. The selection of operators is managed by the Korea National Council on Social Welfare.

Since 2011, S-OIL has been conducting a gas station-linked community contribution program through a public interest campaign agreement called the Gas Station Sharing N Campaign with the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea National Council on Social Welfare.

Hussein Al-Katani, CEO of S-OIL, stated, "During this time when everyone is facing difficulties due to COVID-19, we will actively practice S-OIL's core value of sharing," adding, "We will fulfill our corporate social responsibility through continuous social contribution activities and support neighbors in need."
