LG Hope Village is a social contribution activity that LG Electronics has been conducting since 2020 in collaboration with the nonprofit organization Habitat for Humanity Korea to provide safe and comfortable living environments to vulnerable housing groups overseas in countries such as Vietnam, India, and Kenya. Over three years, 67 households have received new homes through this project. Including cases where LG Electronics remodeled existing houses to improve living conditions, the total number of beneficiary households of LG Hope Village reaches 230.
In addition to building and repairing houses for vulnerable housing groups, LG Electronics has also engaged in activities to improve local community education and sanitation environments by establishing public facilities such as libraries and water fountains, and has donated hundreds of home appliances including air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines.
The achievements of LG Hope Village were made possible through the voluntary participation of LG Electronics’ global customers. Every year, LG Electronics has conducted the ‘LG Healthy Home Appliances Global Campaign’ to raise awareness about the importance of healthy living environments and the purpose of the Hope Village project. The LG Hope Village project has been carried out using donations raised jointly with customers who participated in this campaign. Over the past three years, the number of customers who joined the campaign has reached 600,000.
As a global corporate citizen, LG Electronics fulfills its social responsibilities by carrying out various community-based social contribution activities that address environmental and social issues around the world.
