LG Display has been continuously promoting "Warm Sharing" campaign for 17 years.
LG Display began to promote its social responsibility activities and encourage employees to voluntarily donate and serve through the 'Declaration of Social Contribution' ceremony in 2005. The company is also actively participating in solving social problems through social contribution programs.
Since the 2005 social contribution declaration ceremony, LG Display executives and companies have raised about KRW 23.6 billion in social contribution funds.
The "Employee Social Contribution Fund," operates in the form of a "matching grant" in which executives and employees donate a certain amount from their salaries and the company also contributes a corresponding amount. This is mainly used in supporting underprivileged people and solving community problems such as helping people who suffer from COVID-19.
"Social Contribution Fund of Executives' Responsibilities" was also delivered to scholarships for gifted youth from low-income families.
In addition, more than 40,000 executives and employees are participating through the "LG Dream Fund," which supports medical expenses and basic living expenses for children in poor environments, and the "Electronic Donation Box," a small donation platform that can be donated through salary deductions if they tag their ID cards.
In order to create an atmosphere where executives and employees voluntarily and actively participate in volunteer work, LG Display has prepared various support measures such as rewards for outstanding volunteers, support for volunteer activities, and improvement of volunteer support systems. So far, more than 34,000 executives and employees have participated in the service for a total of 556,000 hours.
Although face-to-face contribution activities are not possible due to the influence of COVID-19 Pandemic, executives and employees are constantly volunteering in search of donation methods to help in a non-face-to-face manner.
"The fact that executives and employees directly participate in social contribution activities in society is an effort to truly care for each other and live well together," said an official of LG Display. "As it has done so far, LG Display will grow and coexist with the local community through various social contribution activities."
Meanwhile, LG Display is also actively participating in solving social problems as a social contribution program that utilizes the strengths of technology.
Reflecting the characteristics of the IT industry, the IT power plant project, which was launched to resolve the digital divide between underprivileged children, has set up IT education spaces for 57 domestic and foreign (53 in Korea and 4 overseas) starting with Gimcheon Immanuel Nursery Center in Gyeongsangbuk-do in 2008.
