LGD Employee Family Volunteer Group Plants 600 Quirong Trees in the Demilitarized Zone Area

LG Display employees and their families volunteering to plant Styphnolobium japonicum to restore the ecological forest in the Civilian Control Line area

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] As part of strengthening ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, LG Display has launched social contribution activities to protect the environment and preserve a healthy ecosystem.

LG Display employees and their families volunteer group announced on the 30th that they planted 600 Quercus acutissima trees to restore the ecological forest in the civilian control line (CCL) area near the DMZ ahead of World Environment Day in June.

The area near the DMZ has been untouched by human hands for a long time and is known as the habitat of the most diverse species on the Korean Peninsula. It is recognized as a place with high ecological conservation value and requires environmental protection.

Accordingly, the LG Display employee volunteer group contributed to restoring the ecological forest by planting trees along the Sunaecheon stream in the CCL area, which has been damaged by recurring droughts and floods every year, and helped preserve a healthy ecosystem.

The trees planted by the volunteer group that day were Quercus acutissima seedlings carefully nurtured over the past month at each home by more than 600 employees who volunteered as 'tree caretakers.' Quercus acutissima, a native species that produces many fruits and does not disrupt the ecosystem, is expected to become a shelter and food storage for animals.

Choi Changhyun, a manager who participated in the tree planting with his two children, said, "It was a meaningful time to think about a sustainable environment and ecosystem," and added, "I will find and practice more activities to protect the Earth where our children will live in the future."
