"Let's reduce the digital divide!"

Korea National Oil Corporation (President Kim Dong-seop) carried out social contribution activities to support informatization for marginalized neighbors in the region. The project is named 'Sharing Love PCs.'

At the event held on the 29th, the Oil Corporation donated 512 PCs to the Korea Institute for Social Welfare Policy, Ulsan Disabled Welfare Center, Ulsan Orphanage, and children's centers near the Oil Corporation's stockpile branches.

The PCs donated this time were the corporation's office PCs that had exceeded their service life but were refurbished to be usable for everyday purposes such as document creation and internet use.

The Oil Corporation has been steadily delivering Love PCs since 2019 and has donated a total of 2,976 units until last year, striving to support informatization projects for information-vulnerable groups within the local community.

Previously, the project targeted care institutions for marginalized neighbors near the headquarters in Ulsan, but this year it was expanded nationwide to include areas where the headquarters and stockpile branches such as Geoje and Yeosu are located.

Woo Jin-ha, Head of the Management Support Division at the Oil Corporation, said, "We hope this will greatly help close the digital information gap for marginalized neighbors in the region," and added, "The corporation will continue various sharing activities for regional coexistence."

Besides this event, the Oil Corporation is conducting various social contribution activities for the local community, including sharing heating and cooling supplies for energy-vulnerable neighbors, distributing side dish packages to elderly living alone, and providing living expenses and scholarships for children of multicultural families in the region.
