LG Corp. announced on August 19 that it has published its '2025 ESG Report,' detailing its sustainability achievements and future plans.
The report covers LG Corp. and its subsidiaries, including LG CNS, D&O, LG Electronics, LG Chem, and LG Uplus, focusing on three main areas: compliance management, climate change, and health and safety. To provide timely information, some data from the first half of 2026 has also been included.
In the area of compliance management, LG has undertaken a comprehensive overhaul of its governance structure to enhance board independence and management transparency while protecting shareholder rights. The company has transitioned to an 'Independent Director Chair System,' appointing independent directors as chairs of the boards for 11 listed companies, including LG Corp., LG Electronics, LG Chem, and LG Uplus.
Since 2023, LG has established a 'Board-Centric Compliance Governance System' to strengthen oversight, ensuring that the ESG committee, CEO, and compliance officers effectively promote compliance management.
Regarding climate change, LG has outlined a roadmap to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 34% by 2030 and 52% by 2040 compared to 2018 levels, with a goal of achieving net zero by 2050. The company plans to continuously update this roadmap to reflect internal and external environmental changes and the performance of its subsidiaries.
In the health and safety sector, LG has been promoting a safety culture within the organization by hosting the 'LG Shik' safety and environmental event since 2023. The company has shared and benchmarked the latest AI-based safety and environmental technologies to enhance the capabilities of its personnel.
Ahead of the mandatory ESG disclosures set for 2028, LG has proactively incorporated the domestic disclosure standards of the Korea Sustainability Standards Board (KSSB) into its reporting since 2024. This report also applies KSSB disclosure standards across all areas of compliance management, climate change, and health and safety.
