[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] LG Household & Health Care announced on the 26th that it donated 300,000 hand sanitizers to the Army Training Center in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do, the largest recruit training center in Korea, to support COVID-19 prevention activities within military units.

As part of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management activities, LG Household & Health Care strives to fulfill its corporate social responsibility by donating various daily necessities, cosmetics, and beverages to single elderly households, local children's centers, and military units.

LG Household & Health Care delivered 300,000 hand sanitizers, including "Saegyu A Kkomjjakma Piji Sanitizer Gel," to the Army Training Center, the largest enlisted soldier training institution in Korea, which trains over 120,000 recruits annually. These hand sanitizers are quasi-drugs approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and eliminate 99.9% of harmful bacteria to the human body, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella, which cause diseases or infections.

The donated hand sanitizers include pump-type dispensers for indoor use as well as tube-type sanitizers that can be carried and used during training or outings.

Kim In-geon, commander of the Army Training Center, said, “Sanitary supplies such as hand sanitizers greatly help in COVID-19 prevention at the Army Training Center, where about 3,000 recruits enter weekly,” and added, “We express our gratitude to LG Household & Health Care, which practices companionship and sharing through various support activities for not only the soldiers at the Army Training Center but also all members of the armed forces.”

Park Heon-young, Executive Director of LG Household & Health Care, said, “We express our gratitude and wish health and safety to the military personnel fulfilling their national defense duties despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19,” and added, “We will continue ESG activities that can support areas where society needs help.”

In addition to the Army Training Center, LG Household & Health Care plans to donate hygiene products mainly to frontline units such as the Special Warfare Command, the 1st Division, and the 5th Division.
