LG Electronics is conducting tree planting and used electronics collection campaigns in various locations around the world.

On the 18th, LG Electronics employees visited Noeul Park in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and carried out family tree planting activities.

In Saudi Arabia, tree planting activities are scheduled for Earth Day on the 22nd. This initiative is part of the Green Riyadh urban greening project and supports the creation of parks in Riyadh. In addition, tree planting is also being carried out in desert areas.

In Spain, since 2017, the company has been running the “Smart Green Tree” campaign each year to help restore forests on the Iberian Peninsula. Alongside this, the “Smart Green Bees” campaign is being conducted to aid plant pollination by increasing the local native bee population.

LG Electronics is also continuing its resource circulation efforts by collecting used electronics. This month alone, used electronics collection campaigns are being held in 10 countries: Korea, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Germany, Poland, Latvia, the Philippines, Singapore, and India.

The Philippine subsidiary has installed collection boxes for used electronics at its office building and has been conducting collection activities since last month. The Singapore subsidiary held collection activities for two days starting on the 15th. In Korea, from the 20th, the company will launch a used electronics collection campaign for employees, offering free home pick-up services and using dedicated collection boxes in various regions. Last year, at LG Science Park in Magok, Seoul, the company collected a total of about 2,850 kg of used electronic products from employees through its “Used Electronics Collection Campaign.”

LG Electronics operates used electronics collection and recycling programs year-round in 91 regions across 56 countries, not just as one-off campaigns. From 2006 to 2024, the cumulative amount collected reached approximately 5 million tons. The company aims to collect a cumulative total of 8 million tons of used electronics by 2030.

LG Electronics expects that selecting reusable parts from collected used electronics and recycling them will help reduce carbon emissions generated during the production of new parts. The company also plans to prioritize the use of highly recyclable and low-carbon materials from the product development stage, and to expand the use of recycled parts, thereby taking the lead in resource circulation.

Yoon Dae-sik, Executive Vice President of External Relations at LG Electronics, said, "We will continue our efforts in resource circulation and carbon reduction to fulfill our social responsibility as a global corporate citizen for a sustainable future."
