This award was given in recognition of ▲ the establishment of various systems to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion ▲ the discovery and development of female talent ▲ positive evaluations in terms of a communicative organizational culture from external ESG evaluation agencies. LG Electronics has been expanding the existing one-year parental leave to two years since last year to support employees in balancing work and family life. Additionally, family-friendly policies such as supporting reduced working hours during childcare periods are being implemented.

Efforts are also being made to secure female talent. LG Electronics conducts an online recruitment briefing called ‘LG DAY’ targeting female university undergraduates and participates in job fairs organized by the Korean Women Engineers Association. Furthermore, the company actively recruits female talent for executive, research, and professional committee positions and fosters female leaders and experts through talent committees in each organization.

LG Electronics operates an ESG committee within its board of directors. It received a comprehensive A grade for two consecutive years in the ESG rating announced last year by the Korea Corporate Governance Service (KCGS). Lee Sam-su, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) of LG Electronics, said, “We will continue to strengthen ESG management through various system supports and the establishment of an inclusive organizational culture so that all employees can maximize their potential and expertise.”
