Environmental Label
The company's focus on environmental issues worldwide has resulted in an environmental vision and related policies.
Eco-marketing
LG Electronics has developed an eco-label, the company's own environmental certification label, and makes active use of this environmental labeling system, which is run by the government. Thanks to these efforts, the company is able to demonstrate the environmental safety of its products to its customers. Customers can easily identify an eco-product by the presence of an eco-label.
Environmental Labeling
LG Electronics obtain eco-labels to mark our products as environmentally friendly or energy-saving products so that customers are aware of the environmental safety aspect of LG products. In addition, we operate in line with the environmental labeling and lifecycle assessment scheme. We quantify all resources used during a product's lifecycle and monitor any by-products, thereby obtaining an accurate assessment of environmental impact.
Environmental Self Declaration
Eco-label
To promote environment-friendly products, LG Electronics implements its Environment Self-Declaration. Under the Self-Declaration, we developed our own eco-mark symbol and established environmental standards which reflected domestic and overseas environmental regulations as well as customers' needs for eco-friendly products.
Among products that pass our strict Eco-Index standard, we award LGE Eco-mark to products that have been selected for environmental information disclosure as a part of our green marketing strategy. Our ecomark is a visual symbol of a product's environmental friendliness.
Environmental Self Declaration
Many of LG Electronics' products now come complete with an eco-declaration -containing all relevant environmental information. The eco-declaration includes the weight of the product, energy consumption, the packaging materials, recyclability, and customer precautions.
As part of its commitment to continue its environmental efforts, LG Electronics is extending the number of products for which its eco-declaration is available (see details of the eco-declaration from the drop-down menu below.)
EPEAT
EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) is a procurement tool in the US to help institutional purchasers evaluate, compare and select desktop computers and monitors based on their environmental attributes. The complete set of performance criteria includes 51 detailed items. EPEAT evaluates electronic products according to three tiers of environmental performance - Bronze, Silver and Gold. We received the Silver Mark for all its monitor models (13).
EU Ecolabel
The European Ecolabel is a voluntary award scheme run by the European Commission and designated Competent Bodies at national level, to promote products which have a high level of environmental performance, in the European market.
The EU Ecolabel is only awarded after verification by a third party, that the products meet the strictest environmental and performance criteria agreed at European level. EU Ecolabel awarded products can then carry the "Flower" logo, helping purchasers (public and private consumers) to identify them easily and make informed choices.
The EU Ecolabel award recognizes televisions that have a range of sustainable features including high energy efficiency, reduced CO2 emissions and that the television has been designed to facilitate repair and recycling.
A number of LG Electronics TVs, released in 2009 and 2010 have been awarded with the EU Ecolabel award.
