[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Electronics announced on the 28th that it will donate Whisen air conditioners to Seoul's mobile worker rest areas so that mobile workers engaged in delivery, courier, and designated driver services can rest in cool spaces during the summer.
The air conditioners donated through a ceremony held at Seoul City Hall the previous day include about 20 units such as the new stand-type LG Whisen Tower, portable, wall-mounted, and system air conditioners. They are scheduled to be installed within next month at five mobile worker rest areas located in Seocho-gu, Jung-gu, Eunpyeong-gu, Mapo-gu, and other districts in Seoul.
The company explained that the air conditioner donation is part of LG Electronics' ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management efforts, which pursue "creating a better society," "customers' healthy lives," and "reducing the environmental impact of products."
Previously, LG Electronics donated Whisen heating and cooling air conditioners to the National Association of Regional Children's Centers last year so that children at local children's centers could spend cool summers and warm winters.
