LG
Energy Solution continues with social contribution for sustainable future
The
Korea Times - LG Energy Solution (LGES) said Wednesday it has carried out a
broad range of social contribution activities centered on three key pillars:
emotional recovery through sharing, providing opportunities for self-reliance
and environmental restoration.
Last
year, the battery maker spent 998 million won ($736,000) on social
contribution, a sharp increase from 825 million won the previous year. Its
employees volunteered a total of 5,883 hours and collectively donated 67
million won.
One
of the most notable initiatives is the in-house volunteer group Hamsoli,
launched four years ago. Its members participate in volunteer activities once
or twice a month for local communities.
Last
year, they served free meals to senior citizens, maintained the Seoul National
Cemetery, painted murals in underdeveloped areas and offered one-day classes
for people with disabilities.
Employees
also nurtured seeds at home for 100 days and sent them to Noeul Park in Seoul’s
Mapo District to help restore the park’s forests. Some employees planted trees
with their families last June.
"I
am happy to have contributed to the creation of an ecological park by planting
trees with my child in Noeul Park, which was once a mountain of trash,"
one of the employees said. "I am grateful to the company for giving me the
chance to spend meaningful and valuable time with my family while protecting
nature."
Employees
at the company’s research facility in Daejeon opened an engineering class for
local elementary students interested in science. By assembling and operating
toy electric vehicles together, employees helped spark the children’s interest
in science.
Additionally,
at the battery plant in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province, employees picked
up trash in their neighborhoods and crafted air rockets with children at local
day care centers.
"We
are committed to growing alongside local communities by understanding their
needs and delivering multifaceted support," an LGES official said.
"Our employees take great pride in sharing with neighbors and finding
gratitude and happiness through these activities." (Advertorial)
