[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] LG Group announced on the 11th that it has donated 12 billion KRW in year-end neighbor love donations to the Community Chest of Korea.

LG stated that on the 9th, at the donation ceremony held at the Community Chest of Korea building in Jung-gu, Seoul, Chairman Cho Heungsik of the Community Chest of Korea and Ha Beomjong, President of LG Corporation's Management Support Division, attended the event.

Since 1999, LG has donated over 200 billion KRW to the Community Chest of Korea. The donations will be used for youth education projects, basic living support for socially vulnerable groups, and improvements in housing and educational environments.

The Community Chest of Korea, reflecting the meaning of practicing 'carbon zero,' used LG Electronics' portable screen StandbyME instead of disposable plastic panels at this year's donation ceremony.

With LG's donation on this day, the temperature of the 'Love Thermometer' installed at Gwanghwamun Square in Jongno-gu, Seoul, rose by about 3℃. The Community Chest of Korea's year-end fundraising goal is 404 billion KRW. For every 1% of the target amount, approximately 4 billion KRW, raised, the mercury level rises by 1℃.

President Ha said, "Companies must fulfill their responsibilities so that neighbors can have hope and courage," adding, "We will continue to practice our social role based on LG's capabilities and strive to become a trusted company."

Affiliates are also conducting year-end volunteer activities targeting local communities and neighbors. They are carrying out donations of goods and volunteer activities involving employees.

Affiliates such as LG Display, LG Innotek, LG Chem, LG Household & Health Care, and LG Uplus are supporting house repairs near their business sites, winter supplies, daily necessities, food including rice, and heating costs.

Each company is also conducting social contribution activities with direct participation from employees.

LG Electronics is conducting the 'Start with Me Challenge,' delivering canvas frames made with air-purifying plants that have humidifying and dehumidifying effects to local children's centers at year-end.

LG Display is running a campaign where employees voluntarily donate money for children in the area near their business sites, and the company matches the amount. The goal is to deliver gifts to about 1,000 children.

LG Innotek is collecting donations from employees through an online donation campaign called 'Inno Dream Funding.'

Since July, LG Energy Solution has been helping vulnerable children through the donation kiosk 'Ensol Touch.' Employees can voluntarily donate by viewing stories of vulnerable children at kiosks installed throughout the company, including entrances, lounges, and cafeterias. More than 900 employees have participated in donations.
