[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] LG Electronics has actively engaged in recovery efforts following the large wildfires in the southeastern region of Australia.

On the 22nd, LG Electronics Australia donated 500,000 Australian dollars (approximately 400 million KRW) to WIRES, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting Australian wildlife.

LG Electronics hopes that the donation will help in some way to recover from the wildfire damage, which has resulted in the loss of over one billion wild animals and the destruction of more than 30% of their habitats.

Additionally, the LG Twins baseball team, currently training in Australia, participated in the donation ceremony and held a fan signing event to raise funds. Employees of LG Electronics Australia are also contributing donations collectively.

LG Electronics Australia plans to prepare additional funds through a matching grant system, matching the amount raised by the LG Twins players and employees, and will donate the total amount to WIRES in early next month.

Im Sang-moo, head of LG Electronics Australia, said, “We want to support Australia and its people who have suffered greatly from the six-month-long wildfires,” adding, “We will fulfill our corporate social responsibility and actively support recovery efforts.”
