LG Marks Earth Day with Energy-Saving Efforts... Lights-Off Campaign at Major Sites Nationwide
10-Minute Lights-Out at LG Twin Towers and Other Sites
Ongoing Voluntary Carbon Reduction Efforts
Tree-Planting Activities Expand Overseas
On April 22, in celebration of Earth Day, LG will hold a lights-out event for 10 minutes starting at 8:00 p.m.
LG has decided to turn off the lights at its major buildings and business sites across the country, including LG Twin Towers in Yeouido, LG Science Park in Magok, and LG Seoul Station Building.
Prior to this, LG has proactively implemented voluntary energy-saving measures at the private sector level, such as the vehicle rotation system (operating vehicles based on license plate numbers) in response to recent instability in the Middle East and rising international oil prices. The company has reduced the operation of office elevators and escalators in common areas, adjusted the brightness of lighting in offices and underground parking lots, and is maintaining heating and cooling temperatures at government-recommended levels.
Each LG affiliate is also continuing efforts to reduce carbon emissions through various activities both domestically and abroad.
On Earth Day, LG Electronics is carrying out tree-planting activities tailored to local characteristics in countries including Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Spain, while also conducting waste electronics collection campaigns for resource circulation in 10 countries, including India, the Philippines, and Singapore.
LG Chem has introduced a monitoring system at its domestic plants to check energy usage in real time and operates facilities based on this data to prevent unnecessary energy consumption, thereby actively carrying out energy-saving activities at production sites.
