LG has announced a donation of 1 billion won to support recovery efforts in Busan, Gyeongnam, Jeonnam, and Gwangju, which have been affected by recent heavy rains. LG Electronics and LG Uplus will also assist with appliance repairs and communication support. The company will combine its financial contribution with on-the-ground support utilizing the capabilities of its subsidiaries.
On August 28, LG stated that it would donate 1 billion won to the National Disaster Relief Association. The funds will be used for recovery efforts in flood-affected areas and to support disaster victims.
LG will also provide emergency relief kits containing blankets, clothing, and daily necessities to those staying in temporary shelters through the Korean Red Cross. Since 2022, LG has collaborated with the Red Cross to produce 2,000 emergency relief kits annually for support during natural disasters.
Subsidiaries are also stepping up to provide on-site assistance. LG Electronics is operating a 'visiting service' to directly support households affected by the flooding. Response vehicles will be deployed to clean and repair flooded appliances and replace parts.
LG Uplus is offering Wi-Fi services at temporary shelters and providing battery charging support for disaster victims' mobile phones.
