S-OIL, Natural Monument Eoreumchi Fry Release Event.

On this day, participants recognized the cultural and ecological value and importance of natural monuments through Eoreumchi ecology education, released 5,000 Eoreumchi fry into the Geum River, and participated in ecological experiences.

S-OIL signed an agreement with the Korea Freshwater Fish Conservation Association in 2010 for the 'Natural Monument Eoreumchi Protection Campaign' and has been supporting the preservation and restoration of the species for 15 years.

Starting in Hongcheon, Gangwon, and continuing through Okcheon, Chungbuk, to Geumsan, Chungnam, about 2,500 employees and their families have participated in volunteer activities, releasing approximately 54,000 Eoreumchi fry and contributing to the restoration of Eoreumchi in the Geum River.

An S-OIL official said, "As part of the Natural Monument Keeper Campaign that began in 2008, we have supported activities to restore Eoreumchi, which became extinct in the 1980s. This is the result of joint efforts by the company and employees' families. Moving forward, the company plans to add new species and continue protection activities, striving to become an exemplary case of ESG management."

In May 2008, S-OIL signed a 'Korean Cultural Heritage Keeper' agreement with the National Heritage Administration and has been carrying out activities to protect Eoreumchi, otters, red-crowned cranes, Jangsu beetles, and Namseangi as designated species, working to increase their populations and preserve their habitats as part of Korea's natural heritage protection efforts.
