[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] S-OIL held a 'Compensated Firefighter Medical Expense Delivery Ceremony' on the 23rd at the Jungbu Fire Station in Seoul, together with the Korea National Council on Social Welfare, and delivered medical expenses totaling 60 million KRW to injured firefighters.

The medical expenses provided by S-OIL on this day will be used for the treatment of 37 firefighters nationwide who were injured during fire suppression, rescue, and emergency activities. As part of the 'Firefighter Hero Keeper' program, S-OIL has supported a total of 404 injured firefighters with 780 million KRW over 13 years since 2009.

An S-OIL official stated, "S-OIL is conducting systematic support activities to boost the morale of firefighters, who are protectors of our society, and to help stabilize the lives of firefighter families," adding, "We will continue the Firefighter Hero Keeper program and strive to be a company that fulfills its social responsibilities."

Since 2006, S-OIL has been operating the 'Firefighter Hero Keeper' program with the Korea National Council on Social Welfare to support firefighters who silently sacrifice themselves in various parts of society. In the event of a firefighter's death in the line of duty, 30 million KRW is provided to the bereaved family, and scholarships are awarded annually to about 70 children of deceased firefighters to help them focus steadily on their studies.

Additionally, S-OIL leads morale-boosting efforts through various programs such as the 'Hero Firefighter Awards Ceremony' to encourage outstanding firefighters, and the 'Firefighter Couple Rest Camp,' which offers firefighters and their families opportunities for rest and recharging from their demanding duties.
