[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] LG Electronics announced on the 3rd that it has selected key ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategic tasks to be implemented by 2030, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

On the 30th of last month, LG Electronics held an ESG Committee meeting and announced its commitment to continuously reduce greenhouse gas emissions to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. This will be done through process improvements and the introduction of energy-saving technologies.

The company plans to manufacture and sell energy-efficient products by improving power consumption, insulation performance, and heat exchange technology. It will increase the use of recycled plastics in exterior parts. LG Electronics also plans to expand waste recycling at domestic business sites to obtain zero waste landfill certification. Overseas sites will apply exemplary domestic practices such as sludge materialization.

LG Electronics plans to equip accessibility features in all product lines by 2030. To this end, it currently operates an advisory group for people with disabilities. Efforts to improve accessibility for the disabled are ongoing, including applying improvements during new product development. This year, the company plans to support major partners in building a 'greenhouse gas inventory' to measure, manage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This involves supporting an information system that catalogs and manages the sources, types, and amounts of greenhouse gases emitted from business sites.

Employees working at LG Twin Towers, the headquarters building, will actively participate in the reusable cup usage promotion campaign 'Start with Me Challenge' from mid-month. To support this, LG Electronics has installed automatic reusable cup washers on each floor of the office.
