LG Household & Health Care Advances ESG Commitment with Local River Cleanup Initiative

LG Household & Health Care announced on the 16th that it conducted the 'One Company, One River Love' environmental cleanup campaign in the vicinity of Cheongju's Musimcheon River. This initiative, organized by the city of Cheongju, involves local businesses and organizations adopting and maintaining a designated river to promote environmental protection.

The company's Cheongju Factory has actively participated in this campaign since last year, engaging in cleanup activities twice annually. The chosen river, Musimcheon, holds significant historical and cultural importance in Cheongju, serving as a venue for various regional events, including the spring cherry blossom festival.

During this recent initiative, LG Household & Health Care employees spent approximately two hours collecting trash—amounting to five 50-liter recycling bags—from the area between Cheongju Bridge and the 1st Uncheon Bridge. Among the waste collected were picnic mats, polystyrene, PET bottles, and single-use items. While accessible walking paths were relatively clean, many secluded areas like reed fields and thickets contained substantial litter.

Moving forward, LG Household & Health Care plans to continue its participation in the 'One Company, One River Love' campaign. Starting in the latter half of the year, the company intends to enhance its efforts by introducing additional activities, such as the creation of flower beds along the riverbanks. A company representative remarked, 'Engaging in cleanup activities that restore Musimcheon—a recreational space for our employees and the Cheongju community—gives us a deep sense of fulfillment.' The company reaffirms its commitment to executing various socially responsible initiatives grounded in its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management values.
