Lotte Chemical Joins 'Relay Campaign to Support Flower Farmers'

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Lotte Chemical announced on the 23rd that Lim Byung-yeon, head of the Basic Materials Business, participated in the 'Flower Farmers Support Relay Campaign.'

The 'Flower Farmers Support Relay Campaign' is an event to support flower farmers who are struggling due to the reduction of various events caused by the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Participants recommend the next person to join the campaign.

On the 22nd, CEO Lim donated air-purifying plants and air purifiers worth 10 million KRW to the Korea Firefighters Association. These items will be delivered to 16 fire stations in the Chungnam region, including the Chungnam Fire Headquarters and Seosan Fire Station.

CEO Lim said, "I hope good news will be delivered soon to flower farmers who are having difficulties in their livelihoods," and added, "I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the firefighters who play a major role in overcoming COVID-19 and ensuring the safety of the local community."

Having been nominated by Moon Dong-jun, CEO of Kumho Petrochemical, CEO Lim recommended Kim Hee-chul, head of Hanwha Solutions Q CELLS Division, as the next participant in the campaign.

Meanwhile, Lotte Chemical has been continuing various domestic and international support activities to overcome COVID-19. In March of this year, it donated medical gloves and disinfectants to protect firefighters exposed to infection risks due to the spread of COVID-19 in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions. In May, it donated $100,000 to a public interest organization located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where its U.S. factory is located, to support unemployed people affected by the COVID-19 crisis. Last month, it also participated in donating 30,000 COVID-19 test kits to the Indonesian government along with other Lotte Group affiliates.
