Social Contributions
We at LG Electronics will continue to strive to make the world happier and warmer
through a variety of social contribution activities that are based on a sense
of mission and responsibility.
Fund Raising
●LG Electronics, acting as a faithful
corporate citizen, has been raising social
contribution funds in order to give a helping hand
to needy neighbors. All directors, including our
CEO, voluntarily put aside 1% of their monthly
salary and donate it to these causes. In 2004, the
Company's regular employees donated a certain
amount of their bonus, and the Company
contributed funds matching the amount donated
by the employees to form the social contribution
fund. This fund raising activity of the employees
together with management, demonstrates the
charitable spirit behind LG Electronics' social
contributions.
Volunteer Activities
●LG Electronics fully supports its
volunteer group in carrying out a vast array of
corporate citizenship activities designed to help
our less fortunate neighbors. The "LG Electronics
Social Service Group" conducts relief work to help
the recovery of disaster-stricken areas, and it also
offers free repair services for electronic appliances
every year. Furthermore, since 2003 the group has
sponsored about 500 orphaned teenagers who
bear the responsibility of caring for younger
siblings, and conducted blood donation
campaigns and food donations, for homeless
people.
LG Electronics also offers information
technology training programs called "LG
Information Narae" for physically challenged
people who have to stay at home due to their
disabilities. We have an education program
named "LG Study Keeper" for children from low-
income families, and a science education program
called "LG Junior Science Class". Through these
activities each employee dedicates themselves to
voluntary social contribution activities.
