산업구조에 기반한 지속가능경영 문화: 정유산업을 중심으로

This study analyzed the sustainability culture of the oil refining industry. The current status, major competitors, and key issues of the oil refining industry were analyzed, and sustainability reports were reviewed to examine how well each company had been aware of and dealing with the issues. The results are as follows: first, the oil refining industry is the fourth largest export industry that has the most significant impact on the Korean economy. SK Energy, GS Caltex, S-Oil, and Hyundai Oilbank are four major companies controlling the market. Second, the analysis of the structure of the oil refining industry found that material substitution is the most serious threat to the industry. Third, major issues in the industry included carbon neutrality, long-term demand reduction, relevance to the fourth industry, securing human resources, and workplace accidents. Fourth, GS Caltex showed a clear awareness of and concrete plans for the issues of carbon neutrality and long-term demand reduction, while it rarely mentioned the issues of the fourth industry and securing human resources. Fifth, while S-OIL had a clear awareness of and concrete plans for the issues of the fourth industry and securing human resources, their reports did not mention enough about the issues of carbon neutrality and long-term demand reduction. Sixth, both companies showed a clear awareness and concrete plans for the issue of workplace accidents.
