Korea National Oil Corporation Conducts 'Earth Saving Environmental Cleanup' Along Ulsan Coastline

KNOC Plogging Relay ... G9 Campaign Saving the Earth Practicing ESG Management

More than 50 people, including employees of the Korea National Oil Corporation and Ulsan Dongyang Sanjeon, are participating in the knoc plogging relay event to save the planet.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Korea National Oil Corporation conducted an environmental cleanup activity in the form of plogging along the coastal area of Dong-gu, Ulsan.

Plogging is an environmental protection campaign that combines jogging with picking up litter, promoting both health and environmental care simultaneously.

About 50 participants, including employees of the Oil Corporation and Dongyang Sandeon staff from Ulsan, collected approximately 2000 liters of household waste from the coastal road and sandy beach area around Ilsan Beach.

Considering the nature of its resource development business, the Oil Corporation selected ‘KNOC Plogging’ as part of its ESG management. Since March, the headquarters and nine nationwide storage branches have participated in a relay-style monthly environmental cleanup activity under the name ‘G9 Saving the Earth.’

About 2,000 liters of household waste were collected from the Ilsan Beach area and the sandy beach through plogging.

G9 symbolizes the letter G formed by connecting the nine cities where the storage branches are located, as well as the initial of Green, the symbolic color of the environment.

Kim Dongseop, President of the Corporation, said, “I thank the volunteers who joined the environmental cleanup activity despite their busy schedules, and I hope that more people will become interested in environmental conservation through today’s activity. The Corporation will continue to steadily carry out marine environment preservation activities.”

To practice ESG management, Korea National Oil Corporation supported 2,000 eco-friendly shopping bags last year and engaged in ice pack recycling activities. This year, it is actively discovering and promoting various eco-friendly programs such as recycling used office PCs and environmental improvement activities for community convenience facilities.
