ESG activity by businesses has begun aiming for honeybees and preterm infants.

LG H&H (LG Household and Healthcare) hosted activity for plentiful feeding of honeybees awaring disappearing honeybee issues. Honeybees are crucial in maintaining biodiversity. Along with that, businesses are looking forward to carbon reduction and a fine dust blocking effect.

LG Unicharm donated special dippers customized for preterm infant-low weight worth 10 million won to Jeju university hospital.

LG H&H held the 'Park of honeybees' event, where plants source plants for honey(nectar) that honeybees like. The event was held at a park in Ulju-gun near Ulsan and Onsan factories that manufacture daily supplies of LG H&H. This aims to extend ESG-management through customized biodiversity preservation activity cooperating with local businesses.

On the 15th event, 30 event related people participated, whose include LG H&H, Ulsan forest of life a local environment association, social walfare community fund association, Ulsan-si, Ulju-gun.

LG H&H planted approx. 1000 plants, which include tall trees like cherry trees providing plenty of pollen and honey·oriental raisin tree·cornus fruit, and shrubs like stiff-shrubby cinquefoil·A. grandiflora, on the park site scaling 15,500㎡(4700pyung). With the woods in the city, where various insects including butterflies and beetles can co-exist, not only honeybees, they're looking to see insect species diversity enhancement.

It seems to be that the solitary park standing in the industrial complex has a function as an attractive shelter that has flowers in various colors in each season through this project. Most of all, with plants of different species there is an effect of reducing carbon and blocking fine dust.

LG H&H is expanding carbon reduction and biodiversity preservation activity since their '2050 netzero-carbon neutralization accomplishment' declaration on Feb, 2022.

In particular, they went out of their way to tend to a neglected place near the Ulsan factory, which is LG's main business place that this park may turn into a park for honeybees. This was the first project based on their belief in seeing biodiversity as a core value for 'the lives of local residents getting better, securing sustainable energy resources, and action for climate change.

They focused on protecting honeybees, considering honeybees are crucial in maintaining biodiversity. Honeybees are facing disappearance. It's estimated that approx. 10 billion honeybees disappeared last year in Korea. The major reason for this is that habitat cultivated for plenty of honeybee feed has decreased.

Park Heonyoung, LG H&H executive director of external cooperation, and host of the 'forest of honeybees' construction event said, "In order to prohibit local society's disaster causes, including climate change and ecosystem annihilation, it is inevitable to restoration activity and preservation of ecological system. For better lives and experience of our children, who are future customers, we will proceed to continue in our biodiversity enhancement activity."

On the 14th, LGunicharm donated special dippers customized for preterm infants (E-reun-doong-ie)-low weight, which are dippers worth 10million won, to Jeju National University hospital. 

The infant and the under five brand of LGunicharm, Mamypoko passed 27,000 customized special dippers for preterm infant (E-reun-doong-ie) to Jeju universit children's hospital NICU(Neonatal intensive care unit) through Worldfriends as part of their ESG activity.

NICU is a specialized facility for preterm infants(E-reun-doong-ie) who were born earlier than the due date and low weight infants. Infants with low weight have weak immunity systems and underdeveloped organs, hence they demand meticulous care.

In particular, a low-weight infant needs a small and tender dipper which suits the tiny body. But, it's been difficult to supply in isolated regions.

Mamypoko has been continuing their donation business supplying special dippers customized for mother and preterm infants since 2016. (8years) Special dippers donated by Mimipoko are going to be passed on to preterm infants who are under the care of NICU.

A Mamipoko brand-related person said, "We are hopping the special dippers to be a little help for infants-intensive care unit. Mamypoko will continually cheer and support so that all the children may enjoy a healthy and happy life."
