education

Esso recognizes the importance of education and has supported a number of educational initiatives. We supported the operation of the Satellite Education Foundation in expanding its reach to community education and lifelong learning through e-learning. Our flagship ‘Knowledge is Light’ magazine has been in circulation since 1959 while our TV documentary program has been on air since 1979. Esso also sponsored the construction of several school buildings in remote areas of the country.

For the refinery’s surrounding communities, we set up scholarship funds for underprivileged students and procured volunteer English teachers for a school. We also donated educational supplies and equipment to the Pattaya school for the blind and orphanage, and made available some of our refinery engineers at Burapha University to coach engineering students and transfer expertise.
