Carbon neutrality | Sustainability

We cut carbon
not create it

Business as usual, is not
business as usual anymore.
We’re changing the way we operate
to achieve carbon neutrality
and ensure all operations use
100% renewable energy by 2030.

Key progress

Our ambitious 2030 carbon neutrality goal means taking immediate action. Through continuous process
improvement, we're reducing more greenhouse gas emissions in the entire manufacturing process from
production to use.

LG Lighthouse Factory

Lighting the way towards sustainability

The LG Lighthouse Factory is the first household appliance manufacturing facility in Korea and
consumer electronics factory in the US to adopt eco-conscious manufacturing practices. Particularly,
the LG Smart Park Factory in Changwon, Korea, has garnered recognition for successfully implementing
various measures to reduce environmental impact.

Collective action
Greater impact

Net-Zero House, created by LG, is a space that
promotes a sustainable future for our planet. It
shows customers how their everyday appliance usage
can have a positive impact on the environment.

Life with Net-Zero House; We reveal our vision of a more sustainable way of life with the
“Net-Zero House”. The comprehensive LG Home Energy Platform is a total
solution for household energy management, heating and cooling that
includes the Energy Storage System (ESS) and the Therma V™ R290
Monobloc air-to-water heat pump (AWHP). By combining the LG ESS and
LG Therma V AWHP, the platform offers efficient heating as well as user-
friendly energy management – including all spectrum from production
and storage to usage and conservation.
LG Therma V AWHP Reducing carbon at home: The LG Therma V delivers year-round indoor comfort and, just as importantly, uses energy more efficiently than a traditional heating and cooling system. Targeting the decarbonization trend, the Therma V R290 Monobloc helps users to lower their household’s carbon footprint while extracting heat from the surrounding air by adopting R290 refrigerant, which boasts a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just three. It is also able to produce the high temperature of water that can be produced with existing old radiators.; Easily integrated with LG’s AWHP, the ESS (Energy Storage System) offers an innovative and convenient way to maximize the efficiency of a home’s renewable energy use, and serves as a back-up power source in the case of blackouts. Surplus energy can be stored in the ESS battery and diverted to the AWHP’s integrated water tank during the daytime, when solar energy production is at its peak. In the evening, when energy consumption is typically high, the ESS utilizes the stored energy to provide hot water and to power home appliances, boosting energy efficiency and energy self-reliance. Should a power outage occur, the ESS can help to keep essential elements, such as heating, refrigeration and lighting, up and running. The energy surplus is stored in the ESS for later use, or sold to a contracted electricity provider.; In addition to the Therma V, the ESS is able to integrate with a wide range of Home Appliances, including the washer, refrigerator, oven, dishwasher and Styler, and even with the electric vehicle (EV) charger.
ThinQ Manage your home energy: The Home Energy Platform is compatible with LG ThinQ Energy, an intuitive-to-use energy management solution, enabling users to control all of their smart appliances, manage the HVAC system, and monitor energy storage and consumption, from almost any location with their smartphones. Additionally, appliances with the Energy Saving Mode, which can be easily accessed via the ThinQ app, further help in using energy efficiently.*; * Tested by LG internal lab. Based on the assumption that running twenty drying cycles a month, the amount of energy used for drying 3kg load using Cotton+ cycle under Energy EcoHybrid™ (183kWh) with a dryer model RH80V9AVHN saves up to 77kWh per year, compared to using Cotton+ Cycle under Time EcoHybrid (260kWh).

Together,
we can make a difference

The climate crisis is a serious challenge that
requires all of us to work together. We're always
striving to find solutions, and you're welcome to
join us. Together, we can build a brighter future!
