LOTTE Group, along with representatives from its member businesses, donated 1.6 billion VND through the representative of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee in Hanoi .

On September 25th and 26th, at the headquarters of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, LOTTE Group, along with representatives from its member companies, donated 1.6 billion VND from 10 member companies in Hanoi and 1.1 billion VND from 9 member companies in Ho Chi Minh City to the disaster relief fund through representatives of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee in each locality.

Since starting operations in Vietnam in 1996, LOTTE Group has continuously expanded its investments and actively participated in community activities.

Following that, in 2021, the group donated VND 10 billion to the Vietnamese government's vaccine fund, contributing to accelerating the nationwide vaccination program. A highlight of LOTTE's social responsibility activities is the television program "Young Football Players," which has been running for the past 14 years, aiming to discover and train young Vietnamese football talents. The second version of the program was launched last month.

In 2023, LOTTE marked an important milestone with the opening of LOTTE Mall West Lake Hanoi, a modern commercial, service and entertainment complex, not only bringing a new shopping experience to the capital's residents but also creating thousands of jobs for local workers.

A representative of LOTTE Group in Vietnam shared: “We extend our deepest condolences to the families affected by the storm. As a corporation that has been associated with Vietnam for nearly three decades, we not only focus on business but are always ready to join hands with the community to overcome difficulties. With a spirit of solidarity and continuous effort, we believe that Vietnam will soon overcome the consequences of the natural disaster and move towards a better future.”

LOTTE Group also commits to continue maintaining social activities in the future, creating positive changes in many fields, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam.
