Donation of LG’s Innovative Puricare™ Technology with Multi-Filtration System to Provide Cleaner Indoor Air in New Hope CS Facilities

 

 

SINGAPORE, Aug. 8, 2024 — LG Electronics has collaborated with New Hope Community Services (New Hope CS), a local social service agency, to enhance air quality for their beneficiaries. As part of New Hope CS' business continuity plan , this strategic partnership aims to improve air quality and enhance community well-being by deploying LG PuriCare™ Air Purifier HIT (AS60GHWG0) and LG PuriCare™ Air Purifier (HEPA) (AS10GDWH0) units in their facilities. These air purifiers, equipped with multi-filtration systems, will help remove particles and improve air quality in the communal activity and holding areas.

Improving Air Quality with Advanced Technology
New Hope CS operates transitional shelters with communal living spaces, offering a fresh start for families and individuals seeking stability and support as they rebuild their lives. Besides providing temporary housing for their beneficiaries, the social services organisation also provides services such as job-matching, life-skills training and support with long term housing and employment.

 

In line with New Hope CS’ goal of providing a healthier environment for their residents, the partnership focuses on reducing their exposure to pollutants, allergens, and bacteria in the air. The PuriCare™ Air Purifier units come with LG’s Safe Plus and Deodorization Filters, effectively eliminating up to 99.99% of large and ultra-fine dust particles, mould, and gases1. Additionally, the purifiers are equipped with a PM 1.0 Sensor and a specially coated filter that detect and eliminate common indoor pollutants and allergens, like fungi and mould, which are invisible to the naked eye.

 

When placed in communal areas where New Hope CS’ beneficiaries gather for activities and social events, the cleaner air ensures a more pleasant and safe environment. With the donation of these air purifiers will improve the quality of life for the approximately 200 individuals and families living across the three transitional shelters.

 

Making Life Good for all
“New Hope Community Services is immensely grateful for our partnership with LG Singapore,” said Mr Lim Bak Chim, CEO Designate of New Hope Community Services. “Their generous donation of air purifiers not only enhances the quality of life and health of our beneficiaries, but also exemplifies the impactful difference that corporate philanthropy can make. Together, we are breathing new life into our community,” said Mr Lim Bak Chim, CEO Designate, New Hope CS.

 

Encapsulating the Life’s Good message, LG remains dedicated to improving everyday life for all through advanced technology.

 

"We are proud to partner with New Hope Community Services to support their mission of providing a safe and healthy environment for those in need," said Gerald Chun, Managing Director of LG Electronics. "Our air purifiers are designed to improve air quality, and we are delighted to see them positively impact the lives of families and individuals experiencing homelessness. This collaboration reflects our commitment to enhancing the well-being of communities in Singapore."
