LG Electronics Launches University Academy to Nurture 'ESG Talent'... Extra Points in New Employee Recruitment

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Electronics announced on the 20th that it will conduct an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Academy for university students with the goal of nurturing talent in the ESG field.

Applications for the academy will be accepted until June 6. Those who wish to participate can visit the official blog (http://lgeesgacademy.co.kr) and submit an application form. LG Electronics plans to select about 30 university students through document screening and non-face-to-face interviews.

The selected students will receive systematic education and mentoring on ESG activities from June to November. Afterwards, they will independently contemplate and carry out ESG activities they have planned themselves in the areas of environment, society, and governance. LG Electronics plans to give additional points during the document screening stage for new employee recruitment to university students with excellent performance.

Since 2014, LG Electronics has been operating an academy to nurture talent in corporate social responsibility for university students. Over 200 students have completed the program to date. Recently, the company has accelerated ESG management by establishing an ESG committee within the board of directors.

Yoon Dae-sik, Executive Vice President in charge of External Cooperation at LG Electronics, said, "We will explore various ways to practice ESG and contribute to creating a sustainable future."
