Health/Medical Care

Putting on a musical about children's eye health To help children around the age of 7, when their eyesight is fully developed, and their parents, recognize the importance of keeping their eyes healthy, LG Display provides educational programs based on musicals for infants and toddlers and first to third grade elementary school students in underprivileged areas across the country. Through lyrics and dance moves about safety rules for eye health, we help children develop a deeper understanding and interest in them.
-
Supporting eye exams and treatment for children LG Display provide eye exams to preschool children in medically underserved areas to support early detection and treatment of eye diseases such as strabismus and amblyopia. In addition, we select children and adolescents suffering from eye diseases such as strabismus, retinal detachment, and cataracts, and provide assistance with their surgical expenses.
Environment/Safety
-
Establishing a ‘Local Safety-Net’ for a safe community Together with the Paju and Gumi regional police stations, LG Display installed traffic lights and solar lights on crosswalks and sidewalks in areas at risk of crime and traffic accidents to improve nighttime lighting. By the same token, we provided reflective cards to students who had just entered elementary school and installed yellow footprint floor decals and logo projectors to help prevent traffic accidents and crimes around the school. We are also helping to create a safety-oriented city by providing training to residents of rural villages located far from fire stations and supporting residential firefighting facilities.
-
‘Green Campaigner’, a climate and environmental education program for children LG Display provide environmental education classes in conjunction with the Office of Education for future generations. We help local elementary school students grow as responsible citizens who protect their rights and the environment by understanding the phenomenon, causes, and problems of the climate crisis and planning campaigns to put them into practice in their daily lives.
Education/Technology

Supporting IT power plants for childcare facilities The IT Power Plant, an IT education support project to bridge the information gap for underprivileged children, is one of LG Display's major CSR activities. Starting in 2008, we have established a total of 58 facilities in Korea and abroad, and are continuously supporting facility improvement and IT education programs.

‘Voluncation’, a 2-day and 1-night volunteer service while on vacation As one of LG Display's unique corporate social responsibility activities, we have been promoting 'Voluncation', in which employees use their vacation time to engage in volunteer work. Employees are encouraged to participate in seasonal volunteer activities and enjoy local experiences, such as helping out at farms in rural areas that are short of workers during the harvest season due to aging and workforce decline, supporting eye examinations and holding sports competitions for elementary school students in culturally underprivileged areas.
-
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Subscription Campaign LG Display runs a 'CSR Subscription Campaign' in which employees donate a certain amount of money every month to social enterprises that create jobs for the underprivileged and take the lead in environmental protection and experience the companies' products once a quarter. By participating in this subscription campaign, employees support socially vulnerable groups such as the homeless, hearing-impaired florists, and children leaving orphanages so that they can confidently become independent.
-
ESG-oriented employee engagement activities LG Display promotes various practical ESG campaigns so that employees can participate in environmental protection in their daily lives. We encourage employees to actively participate in CSR activities to raise ESG awareness, such as using in-house smart recycling bins, reducing the use of disposable products such as paper cups and plastics, and launching a Zero Waste campaign to encourage the use of eco-friendly products.
