Since 2007, S-OIL has sponsored a total of 830 million won to make kimchi every year using ingredients such as napa cabbage and radish. The company has been conducting sharing events where employees and volunteers make kimchi themselves. This year, considering the worsening household economic conditions and rising prices, the sponsorship amount was significantly increased from 60 million won to 100 million won.


At the event, Ulsan Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom, S-OIL CEO Anwar Al Hezazi, and other officials encouraged the volunteers while mixing kimchi together to practice love for neighbors.


Attending the kimchi-making event for the first time since his inauguration, S-OIL CEO Anwar Al Hezazi said, “S-OIL’s success is thanks to Ulsan City and its citizens, so we will continue to work with Ulsan City to create a better Ulsan to live in.”



Every year, S-OIL purchases eco-friendly rice from farms in the Onsan area and delivers it to underprivileged groups during Lunar New Year, Chuseok, and Family Month. The company also carries out various welfare projects in collaboration with partner companies, including scholarship programs in the Onsan area, preservation of the silver grass fields on Sinbulsan Mountain in Yeongnam Alps, winter heating oil support, and support for cultural festivals in Ulsan and Onsan areas.
