What Does the Energy Saving Recommended Logo Mean? Home Entertainment Buyers' Guide

Under the Energy Saving Recommended scheme, only products that meet strict criteria of energy efficiency can carry the Energy Saving Recommended logo.

The criteria of the Energy Saving Recommended scheme are set by an independent panel and reviewed annually. The Energy Saving Trust also tests a percentage of these products to ensure that where there’s a logo, there's a smarter choice.

The Energy Saving Trust aims to make it easy—whatever the product, whatever the labelling system—just look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo.

LG gives its customers the opportunity to participate in greenhouse gas reduction by providing them with products that meet the U.S. government’s Energy Star® standard for energy-saving consumer products.

Energy Star is the U.S. government's international program that encourages the use of energy-saving consumer products. It was formed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1992, as part of energy-saving and greenhouse gas reduction efforts. The majority of LG Electronics' products meet the Energy Star standard. For example, the battery charger for handsets produced for the U.S. market fulfills 100% of the Energy Star requirements.

LG and Energy Efficiency

LG Electronics is one of the largest global companies of its kind. For this reason, we feel a social responsibility to take on the environmental issues that arise from the carbon output of our industry. We have implemented, and are continuing to perfect, two independent strategies to reduce our carbon footprint:

1. Develop more environmentally friendly technologies in our factories. 2. Continuously raise the energy efficiency of our products.

LG helps consumers reduce greenhouse gas production by providing them with products that meet the Energy Saving Trust’s Energy Saving Recommended standards.
