Sangmoon Shin, Chief Safety and Environmental Officer (CSEO) at LG Display

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyewon] LG Display announced on the 29th that it has established the position of Chief Safety and Environment Officer (CSEO) and appointed Vice President Shin Sang-moon to eradicate safety and environmental accidents.

Vice President Shin was evaluated as the right person to improve the level of safety and environmental management, having long experience, expertise, and understanding from working for 36 years at production sites such as LG Electronics and LG Display.

The CSEO acts as a control tower overseeing the establishment, inspection, and management of safety and environmental policies at domestic and overseas business sites, and holds CEO-level authority such as the "production stop order" to halt production and work upon detecting safety and environmental risks. The CSEO is also responsible for enhancing expertise in the safety and environmental field and nurturing talent.

The organization, which previously consisted of 2 divisions and 14 teams, will be expanded to 7 divisions and 25 teams, including safety and health, environmental technology, and infrastructure technology. A "Global Safety and Environment Center" will be newly established, and safety and environmental experts will be significantly expanded through recruitment of domestic and international specialists to establish a precise and thorough management system.

The CSEO staff organization has newly established divisions by field such as chemical substances, equipment, facilities, construction, and partner company safety and environmental management, focusing on strengthening synergy. On-site organizations at risk contact points have increased expertise by transferring process and equipment specialists to the safety and environmental organization.

Vice President Shin said, "I feel a heavy responsibility as I take on the important task of fundamentally reviewing and innovating awareness and systems regarding safety and environment," and added, "We will create a globally top-level safe workplace where all workers can work with peace of mind."
