On the 17th, S-OIL donated a total of 60 million KRW in scholarships to the Cargo Welfare Foundation for the children of cargo truck drivers who have been victims of traffic accidents.

Since 2015, S-OIL has been providing tuition support to the children of cargo truck drivers who have suffered from traffic accidents, aiming to help stabilize the economic and psychological well-being of families facing hardships due to unexpected accidents during work, recognizing them as unsung heroes of South Korea's economic development. Over the past nine years, a total of 350 million KRW in scholarships has been awarded to 319 students. The Cargo Welfare Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 2010 to improve the welfare of cargo truck drivers.

An S-OIL representative stated, "When the head of a household who relies on driving for their livelihood suffers from a traffic accident, not only the driver but also their family faces significant difficulties." They added, "S-OIL will continue to encourage cargo truck drivers and support the children of families experiencing economic hardship so they can focus on their studies with stability, fulfilling our role as a socially responsible company."
