LG Electronics Employees Volunteer to Improve Educational Environment in Mongolia

Volunteer Activities Conducted with Active Participation of Employees

LG Electronics employees conveyed the spirit of 'Life’s Good' to Mongolian students through overseas volunteer activities.

The LG Electronics Life’s Good Employee Overseas Volunteer Group conducted volunteer work from the 2nd to the 6th (local time) at Shahart Elementary and Middle School in the Gachort district of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, to improve the educational environment for the future generation of students.

Over four days, they engaged in activities such as painting murals, renovating the basketball court floor, hoops, and entrances. In particular, they painted a mural featuring illustrations depicting various professions alongside the Life’s Good brand slogan to promote the core values of Life’s Good. Life’s Good is a brand slogan from LG Electronics that carries the message of continuing bold challenges with an optimistic attitude toward life.

More than 300 employees applied for this Mongolia volunteer program, and about 30 were selected after document screening and interviews. From the program planning stage, employee opinions were gathered through initiatives such as a two-week overseas volunteer idea contest open to all employees via the company-wide bulletin board.

Ulaanbaatar is the capital of Mongolia and the largest industrial city responsible for over 50% of the country's production. Due to rapid urbanization, issues such as urban poverty and regional imbalance have emerged, leading the city to model its urban development after South Korea. This year, Mongolia signed a memorandum of understanding with the Korean government for new town development cooperation, deepening ties with South Korea.

LG Electronics plans to expand its social contribution activities globally, starting with this Mongolia volunteer work. Yoon Dae-sik, Executive Vice President of LG Electronics’ External Cooperation Division, said, "Through continuous social contribution activities, we will fulfill our social responsibility as a global corporate citizen in the international community and exert a positive influence."

The LG Electronics Life’s Good Volunteer Group was launched in 2010 and has been operating for 13 years this year. Currently, about 600 employees from 72 teams are active. They are making a difference in communities in need by repairing home appliances, mentoring middle and high school students, and renovating homes for the elderly.
