Sustainable Management About KNOC - Customer - Employees - Business Partners - Ethical Management - Local Communities Sustainable Report Ethical management Social Contributions     > Corporate Responsibility > Sustainable Management > Social Performance > Local Communities   In area of social contribution, KNOC seeks to realize its vision of “becoming a well-respected public enterprise through Sharing Management” by carrying out “sharing management,” public welfare, and environmentallyfriendly activities. Our enterprise-wide KNOC Volunteer Service Teams are the heart of our “good corporate citizen” programs, which include supporting the needy, contributing to local communities, protecting the environment, and promoting academic culture. We concluded a voluntary pollution prevention and recovery agreement with the Ministry of Environment in 2006 as a part of our efforts to stem environmental pollution in areas where we operate.

Volunteer service teams, in which almost half of our personnel are involved (27 teams, 457 members), reflect our strong desire to actualize "sharing management" through systematic social contribution activities. Our volunteer service teams mainly focus on supporting the neglected (child household heads, residents of old-age homes), social contributions through interaction with sisterhood villages, environmental causes like the "1 corporation, 1 river" program, and promoting academic culture(scholarships for students majoring in petroleum-related subjects). [March 2006]   "Little Olympics for Big Dreams," the product of cooperation between KNOC and seven other public corporations, was held in Anyang City in May 2007. This jointly sponsored corporate social welfare activity is a new approach to community service which increases the synergy effects of combined sharing. A total of 172 children from low-income families were invited to take part in the "Little Olympics." We expect to see more corporations take part in joint social contribution movements like this one, centered on sharing love and caring. [May 2007]
