LG Electronics settles GHG inventories including 6 major green house gases under Kyoto protocol such as CH4, N2O etc. and used GWP and emissions factor from IPCC fourth assessment report (AR4-100year), when we settled GHG inventories in 2008. LG Electronics is currently conducting systematic management of its GHG emissions through the Corporate Carbon Management System (CCMS), a GHG management IT system. To ensure the reliability of data, LG Electronics engages third-party verification and completed the third-party validation on its 13 manufacturing sites in China followed the rules defined at 'ISO 14064-1' in 2010
