Lotte Group has initiated efforts to support the rapid recovery and assistance for victims in the Gyeongsang region affected by heavy rainfall.
On August 28, Lotte Group announced a donation of 1 billion won to aid areas impacted by the flooding, including Geoje and Tongyeong in South Gyeongsang Province, as well as Andong and Uiseong in North Gyeongsang Province.
The donation will be delivered to the National Disaster Relief Association through the Community Chest of Korea. It will be used for recovery efforts in the affected areas and to provide relief supplies for the victims.
Lotte Group's subsidiaries also contributed to the support efforts. Lotte Mart delivered over 1,500 emergency relief items, including instant noodles, beverages, and energy bars, to the affected areas through its Geoje store on August 18.
The Gyeongsang region has recently experienced record rainfall, leading to significant damage. From August 15 to 18, cumulative rainfall reached 956.1 mm in Geoje and 766.9 mm in Tongyeong.
Additionally, Lotte Group had previously donated 1 billion won last year to support victims of wildfires in the Yeongnam region and also contributed 1 billion won for recovery efforts following nationwide heavy rainfall.
