Establishing a comprehensive phased support system for social economy enterprises

LG Electronics and LG Chem are taking the lead in promoting the eco-friendly social economy.

The two companies and the Ministry of Environment signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the LG Twin Towers in Yeouido, Seoul, to promote the social economy in the eco-friendly sector. Attendees included Vice Minister of Environment Ahn Byung-ok, LG Electronics Vice President Lee Chung-hak, LG Electronics Union Chairman Bae Sang-ho, LG Chem Executive Director Park Joon-sung, and Korea Social Enterprise Agency Planning and Management Director Kim Jong-gak.

Under the agreement, LG Electronics and LG Chem decided to continue investing in LG Social Campus and establish a comprehensive step-by-step support system for the growth of eco-friendly social economy enterprises through multilateral cooperation.

The two companies will invest 4 billion won by 2021 to operate the 'LG Social Campus,' providing support such as finance, consulting, and office space to help eco-friendly social economy enterprises build a foundation for growth, and will also run various educational programs for talent development. In addition, the Ministry of Environment provides consulting and advice on education programs for the discovery and nurturing of eco-friendly social enterprises.

LG Electronics and LG Chem plan to hold an open competition on the 26th for companies selected through document screening, on-site inspections, and interviews, and will evaluate social value, sustainability, and feasibility of support to select about 10 companies as finalists.

At the signing ceremony, Vice Minister Ahn Byeong-ok of the Ministry of Environment said, “We look forward to actively promoting multilateral cooperation to practice the true meaning of mutual growth, as well as contributing to the revitalization of the social economy and the creation of an ecosystem.”

Lee Chung-hak, Vice President and Head of Management Support at LG Electronics, emphasized, “We will actively support eco-friendly social economy enterprises so that they can build their own competitiveness and grow into key players in solving environmental problems.”
