"Contributing to Foundation Projects and Development"

Lotte Welfare Foundation held the 105th board meeting at the Lotte Human Resources Development Institute on the 7th and announced on the 8th that Cho Han-bong, Chairman of HDS Bluecop, was elected as the new chairman.

New Chairman Cho, born in 1958, previously served as the head of the Presidential Security Service and was appointed as a director of the Lotte Welfare Foundation last year. He expressed his thoughts, saying, "I will do my best to contribute to the foundation's projects and development while remembering the original intention of Lotte Group's founder and honorary chairman Shin Kyuk-ho, who established the foundation to help those in need."
