For 111 nurses working at seven nursing hospitals in the Gumi area, they provided stationery sets for children entering elementary school this year along with letters expressing thanks and congratulations.

At the Gumi City Public Health Center, home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and microwave ovens?items identified as most needed by overworked staff and quarantine personnel?were installed in the COVID-19 comprehensive situation room’s rest area.

The Gwangju branch supported medical supplies including protective masks, sterile gloves, and non-contact thermometers, as well as stationery sets for children entering elementary school, targeting the Gwangju Metropolitan City Life Treatment Center, Gwangju Fire Academy, and doctors and nurses at KS Hospital.

The Pyeongtaek branch delivered antibacterial goods sets containing disinfectant gel and disinfectant wipes, along with food, to medical staff at Parkae Hospital, a COVID-19 dedicated hospital in Pyeongtaek. They also provided antibacterial goods sets and protective masks to volunteers involved in quarantine activities at Jinwi-myeon Office.

Since 2012, the LG Innotek union has been the first in the domestic materials and components industry to declare the fulfillment of 'labor union social responsibility,' actively participating in resolving various social issues such as ethics, labor and human rights, environment, and social contribution. In April, it led COVID-19 self-quarantine activities across all workplaces nationwide, and in September, it promoted quality and production consulting, elimination of on-site risk factors, and improvement of working environments to assist partner companies struggling with management difficulties due to COVID-19.
