[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] LG Electronics has been selected as the global best company in the 'Home Appliances and Leisure Products' sector for seven consecutive years in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI).

According to the industry on the 15th, LG Electronics received high evaluations in areas such as ethical management, crisis management, eco-friendly products, and talent development in this assessment, and was also listed on the 'DJSI World' for the ninth consecutive year.

DJSI is an index that annually evaluates over 2,500 global companies by market capitalization, comprehensively assessing not only economic performance but also environmental and social aspects. It was created in 1999 by the world's largest financial information company, the U.S. S&P Dow Jones Indices, and the investment evaluation firm RobecoSAM of Switzerland, and is used as a global standard for sustainability assessment and socially responsible investment (SRI).

Companies that receive the highest scores in each of the 61 sectors are selected as best companies, and companies in the top 10% of each sector are also included in the 'DJSI World.'

LG Electronics is leading the realization of carbon neutrality and a circular economy through greenhouse gas reduction, development of highly energy-efficient products, and utilization of waste resources, achieving excellent grades in global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) evaluations. Last year, LG Electronics received the highest AA rating among domestic companies in the ESG evaluation conducted by MSCI, a global investment information provider. Additionally, in August, it was included for the sixth consecutive year in the FTSE4Good Index, a socially responsible investment index created by FTSE International, jointly owned by the Financial Times (FT) and the London Stock Exchange (LSE).

An LG Electronics official said, "We will contribute to solving social issues such as environment and hygiene around the world by utilizing differentiated products and technologies and participate in creating a better society."
