Since the establishment of GS E&C in 1969, we are striving to provide essential value to our customers and local communities by achieving continuous growth based a stable portfolio of plant, power, civil engineering, architecture and housing. In 2014, GS E&C overcame many difficulties at home and abroad to establish the foundation for a turnaround, while also restored the trust of the market by securing liquidity through paid-in capital increase and the sale of non-core assets. These efforts have laid the foundation for a strong trust as we continued to implement sustainable management until now. GS E&C will further strengthen sustainable management to actively respond to the rapidly changing global construction market environment and reinforce its status in domestic and overseas markets. GS E&C is striving to achieve shared growth with all of its stakeholders. The forecast for this year’s domestic economy is not bright, and it is expected that the business environments of high uncer- tainties and fluctuations will continue due to delays and cancellations of orders in the main overseas markets like Central America and South America. However, we will overcome the difficulties we face by integrating the competencies of our employees and do our best to take this opportunity to take a new leap forward. GS E&C recognizes that not only economic growth, but also environmental and social responsibilities are very important, allowing us to continuously implement sustainable management activities relevant to our core values of ‘Great Innovation’, ‘Great Challenge’, and ‘Great Partnership’. From the environmental aspects, we strengthened leadership in carbon man- agement by carrying out projects to reduce GHG emissions and save energy. Meanwhile, we are implementing eco-friendly constructions through green communication activities with local communities and our suppliers. Also, in order to fulfill our corporate social responsibilities, we are striving to establish a foundation for shared growth with our suppliers by implement- ing ethical management based on stable corporate governance, as well as conducting various activities for sharing. In the future, GS E&C will do its best to become the best business partner by paying close attention to the voices of diverse stakeholders, including shareholders, customers and suppliers, to actively reflect them in our business activities. To achieve this, our employees will take an aggressive attitude in seeing this as an opportunity for new growth, while also fulfill our responsibilities and roles to become a sustainable company that achieve mutual prosperity with all of our stakeholders. Thank you. June 2015 GS E&C Corp. President & CEO Byeong-Yong Lim We will build a company that is sustainable and trusted, creating value for the world, with creative passion. 2 | GS E&C INTEGRATED REPORT 2014 | 3 COMPANY PROFILE GS E&C has been undergoing constant growth thanks to a well-balanced portfolio consisting of Plant, Power, Environment, Civil Engineering, Housing, and Architecture businesses since its foundation in 1969.

Revised: April 26, 2020. Accepted: May 04 , 2020. Abstract Purpose: This case study illustrates the successful entry of Saudi Aramco in the Korean market and how it grows to become one of the world‟s largest integrated energy enterprises. Research design, data and methodology: This case investigates diverse secondary sources to examine the entry strategy of Aramco in Korea, such as several interviews including public and anonymous dialogues, periodicals, dispatches (i.e. news articles and magazines), annual reports, industrial reports, and others. Results: The main concern for the international strategic approaching of Saudi Aramco is to enter into Korean market by joint venture with SsangYong Oil (today‟s S-Oil Corporation) in 1991 and finally, ending by Acquisition of S-Oil in 2015. This acquisition of local No.3 company, S-Oil, in Korea is the successful case in Asian Markets overcoming liability of foreignness. Moreover, Saudi Aramco‟s global distribution strategy through localization in the Korean market is appropriate given the market conditions, timing, effectiveness, and efficiency by sharing their resources and collaborating. Conclusions: It would be valuable, unique, and real story to analyze global leading company‟s entry and globalization strategy in overseas market. In addition, this study provides decision-makers with a significant and more strategic implication for the overseas expansion of businesses.
