Chairman Huh made the remarks in a speech to the publication of the 2017 sustainability report issued by the company on Aug. 2. “(We’ll) attach top priority to safety in all segments and devote ourselves to creating social values by continuing investments to produce eco-friendly products and ensure energy efficiency,” he said.

GS Caltex has published an annual sustainability report since 2006 to announce outcomes of sustainability management the company pursued and to communicate with external and internal stakeholders.

The 2017 sustainability report, the 13th rendition of its issuance, contained non-financial information like environment, social and governance (ESG) that have so far undisclosed. GS Caltex has received global ESG evaluations, and the company swiftly reacts to global companies’ requesting ESG information.

GS Caltex’s to Collaborate with 7 Start-ups

GS Caltex designated seven companies as beneficiaries of the GSC Start-up Garage Collaboration Program. The six-month-long program is designed not only to help GS Caltex ramp up competitiveness through creation of new businesses with 2,500 gas stations and start-ups, but also to explore new business models.

The program calls for pilot services or launching services by maxing out GS Caltex’s infrastructure such as gas stations, charging outlets, light maintenance services, car washing services and GS&POINT services.
The seven beneficiaries of the program were selected based on technology, feasibility and business connectivity, with GS Caltex following an entry application and screening of entries since April.

They are expected to conduct diverse services like vehicle-sharing services, parking lot-sharing services and door-to-door tire replacement services. In particular, EV Start-ups are expected to have synergetic effects with GS Caltex.
