Every dream a company has for its future is founded upon the health and prosperity of the community it serves. As a biomedical enterprise, LG Life Science is even more keenly aware of this fact. We strive to protect and nurture people's health, the environment and our local communities not as separate activities, but as an integral part of our normal daily work.

LGLS willingly donates stocks of free medications to help disaster victims, working through the Korean Red Cross, Korean Medical Association and other organizations to assist people affected by flood, earthquake and other large-scale emergencies. We also provide direct funding to Korea's Childhood Leukemia Foundation, Kidney Patients Association, and Organ Donation Campaign, and donate antibiotics and vaccines to North Korea. In cooperation with the LG Welfare Foundation, LG Life Sciences supplies our growth hormone product, Eutropin, to treat growth-impaired children. The Foundation has helped treat over three hundred children with short stature since 1995.

"One company, One mountain, One river" is the name for our long-running campaign of regular environmental clean-up activities. LGLS has operated waste-reduction programs at its worksites since 1999 to reduce the company's landfill, water and energy usage, targeting an ultimate goal of 'zero pollution.' When a marine accident caused over 10 thousand tons of oil to spill into the waters of Korea's Taean peninsula in 2007, we mobilized 100 employee volunteers to participate in the clean-up.

Through such diverse activities, LG Life Sciences is fulfilling its corporate social responsibility.

Helping out in our local communities is an important element of earning society's trust for our company. Each of our workplaces is active in local volunteer work. LGLS supports blood drives and operates a 'science teacher-for-a-day' program that dispatches LGLS's staff to local schools. We donate osteoarthritis drugs to help low-income seniors and target our employee volunteer corps to assist elderly households, teenage heads of households and disabled persons. LGLS tries to foster a 'participatory CSR' culture among its workers, encouraging everyone to give some of their time for the benefit of society. Examples include the 'Health & Youth Fund', to which employees donate a portion of their monthly salaries, and 'Heath & Youth Volunteers' group, which our employees created themselves to provide assistance to elderly persons living alone.

LG Life Sciences knows that we cannot do everything, but we never neglect our responsibility to do everything we can.
