This marks the second consecutive year that LG Electronics has dispatched its volunteer group to the Takeda Education Center. The center operates educational programs and community development projects for disadvantaged youth.

This year’s volunteer group includes more than 30 employees with diverse backgrounds, such as those regularly participating in house renovation volunteering, winners of mural competitions, and YouTube creators, all contributing their talents. Four university students selected for outstanding participation in LG Electronics’ university ESG Academy extracurricular program also joined the initiative.

The volunteer group is setting up a youth vocational training practice room and rest facilities in the new building of the education center, and is taking part in both interior and exterior painting as well as mural painting. They are also assisting with construction for the center’s external wall. The building where the new vocational training practice room and rest area are being established is the same one for which the Lifesgood Volunteer Group participated in construction last year. In addition, they plan to prepare and distribute 400 kits containing daily necessities such as rice and toothpaste to nearby low-income households, supporting efforts to improve living conditions for local residents.

Ha Mikyung, Head of HS AX/Data Platform at LG Electronics and a participant in the volunteering effort, said, “It is particularly meaningful to be able to use the experience I have gained over the past year, including in house renovation volunteering, to help where it is truly needed,” adding, “I hope our contribution will help students study in a better environment.”

Since 2019, LG Electronics has been operating overseas employee volunteer initiatives in emerging Asian countries, joining forces with employees from its local subsidiaries. Recognized for its continuous social contribution through the Lifesgood Volunteer Group, LG Electronics received the Presidential Citation at the ‘2025 Korea Volunteer Award’ last year. The volunteer group plans to carry out further sharing activities for marginalized groups in Korea ahead of this year’s Chuseok holiday.

Yoon Daeshik, Executive Vice President and Head of External Relations at LG Electronics, stated, “Based on the voluntary participation of our employees, we are continuing various social contribution activities both domestically and overseas. We will continue to grow together with local communities and support those in need,” he said.
