Company Advances Accessibility and Transparent Governance, Reinforcing Its Commitment to a Better Life for All<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Ain Alalam – Rashad Iskandrni<\/strong><\/p>\n July <\/strong>22, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 LG Electronics (LG), a global leader in environmental, social and governance (ESG) management, has released its 2025\u20132026 Sustainability Report, which highlights the company\u2019s ongoing efforts to realize its vision for a Better Life for All<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n LG\u2019s sustainability achievements align with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative, which target a 278 million-ton<\/a> annual reduction in carbon emissions and 50% renewable energy<\/a> by 2030. The Kingdom\u2019s 2026 Voluntary National Review<\/a>, issued by the Ministry of Economy and Planning, highlights environmental industries, renewable energy, emissions reduction, afforestation, and waste management as key priorities for accelerating sustainable development.<\/p>\n \n Against this backdrop, LG\u2019s progress in reducing emissions, expanding renewable energy, and advancing waste recycling demonstrates meaningful corporate leadership, with initiatives such as tree planting in collaboration with Green Riyadh serving as an example of its contribution to Saudi Arabia\u2019s sustainability goals.<\/p>\n \n The newly issued report outlines LG\u2019s key ESG initiatives for stakeholders worldwide. Notably, it reveals that in 2025 the company surpassed its 2030 targets for both greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction and waste recycling rate.<\/p>\n \n In 2025, LG\u2019s Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) emissions across all domestic and overseas business sites totaled 842,000 tons of CO\u2082 equivalent (tCO\u2082eq) \u2013 a figure significantly lower than the company\u2019s 2030 target of 878,000 tCO\u2082eq. This achievement reflects the success of LG\u2019s organization-wide efforts to reduce GHG emissions by 54.6 percent by 2030 (from 2017 levels). Key initiatives include the adoption of energy-efficient equipment and the transition to renewable electricity.<\/p>\n \n LG also exceeded its target for reducing emissions intensity during the use stage of seven major product categories. In 2025, the company reduced carbon emissions per unit during the use stage of its seven major categories by 22.5 percent compared to 2020. The target, a 20 percent reduction in per-unit GHG emissions from product use by 2030 \u2013 using 2020 as a baseline \u2013 was previously validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). LG is the first South Korean home appliance manufacturer to receive SBTi validation for such a target.<\/p>\n \n In addition to its GHG reduction targets, LG has exceeded its resource circularity goals. The company recorded a waste recycling rate of 97.3 percent across all domestic and overseas business sites in 2025 \u2013 surpassing its 2030 goal of 95 percent. The company also maintained Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) certification across all domestic operations, with all five domestic production sites achieving the highest Platinum rating. Furthermore, LG collected 640,000 tons of used electronics from 91 locations across 56 countries in 2025, bringing its cumulative total of e-waste recovery to over 5.65 million tons since 2006.<\/p>\n \n Along with the effectiveness of LG\u2019s environmentally-focused programs, the 2025\u20132026 Sustainability Report demonstrates the company\u2019s continued drive to enhance the accessibility of its products and services. Key offerings include the LG Comfort Kit, designed to make home appliances easier to use regardless of age, gender or disability; accessibility initiatives such as the broader application of braille and tactile guides, as well as kiosks equipped with sign-language avatars at service locations; and the LG Easy TV, specifically engineered for seniors. LG also provides a range of inclusive services, including sign language consultations for the hearing impaired, and dedicated consultation services for senior customers.<\/p>\n \n To strengthen board independence and governance transparency, LG has separated the roles of CEO and board chairperson. Earlier this year, the company further reinforced oversight by appointing an independent director as board chairperson.<\/p>\n \n The 2025\u20132026 report also features a newly-introduced section on Responsible AI, outlining the company\u2019s AI Ethics Principles and governance framework in response to the growing adoption of AI technologies. Going forward, the company plans to continuously bolster its governance framework to ensure accountability and transparency across the development and use of AI.<\/p>\n \n A global ESG leader, LG has again been recognized by the world\u2019s premier ESG rating agencies. The company has now been included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index (DJBIC World) for 14 consecutive years and has ranked in the \u201cTop 1%\u201d<\/a> of S&P Global\u2019s Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) for three years in a row. LG also earned an \u201cAA\u201d rating from Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) this year, one level higher than it achieved the previous year. Additionally, the company has received its second consecutive \u201cPlatinum\u201d rating from EcoVadis, a distinction reserved for the top one percent of companies in their industry category.<\/p>\n \n LG has published its annual sustainability report since 2006. The full 2025-2026 report is available on LG\u2019s website, detailing global achievements that underscore the company’s commitment to building a sustainable future in Saudi Arabia and beyond.<\/p>\n \n \n \n About LG\u00a0Electronics, Inc.\u202f\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n LG Electronics is a global innovator in technology and consumer electronics with a presence in\u00a0almost every\u00a0country and an international workforce of more than\u00a075,000.\u00a0LG\u2019s four Companies \u2013 Home Appliance Solution, Media Entertainment Solution, Vehicle Solution and Eco Solution\u00a0\u2013 combined for global revenue of over KRW 89 trillion in 2025.
