Hussein Al Qatani, CEO of S-Oil

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] S-Oil announced on the 5th that it donated 150 million KRW to the Seoul Social Welfare Council at the Korea Housing Environment Institute in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, to support specialized home repair training for the social vulnerable class to achieve self-reliance.

Starting this year, S-Oil launched a specialized home repair training support project to help economically disadvantaged social vulnerable groups achieve sustainable self-reliance and to create social jobs.

Selected trainees from the social vulnerable groups receive professional technical training in interior carpentry, tiling, electrical work, and plumbing for three months through the nonprofit organization Jibeuro Ganeun Gil (The Way Home), along with economic and career education. Additionally, support is provided for their entrepreneurship or job seeking through interior platforms.

From this month, 12 young adults who have left childcare facilities were selected to begin training, and in July, trainees will be recruited targeting homeless people with a will for self-reliance through the Seoul Homeless Facilities Association. In the future, professional personnel will be utilized in connection with support projects for fire damage recovery in low-income families.

An S-Oil official said, "At a time when everyone is facing difficulties, S-Oil will be a source of strength for neighbors in need," adding, "As a company realizing corporate social responsibility, we will further strengthen ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management by supporting vulnerable groups."
