Product for the Next Generation
-
In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) proposed the concept of sustainable development in a report titled “Our Common Future”. Highlighting the importance of ensuring the sustainability of future generations, it defined sustainable development as ‘development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.’ Our products and services are carefully designed with the consideration of contributing to a sustainable future alongside our customers, society, and the environment.

• Increase the ratio of Green 3 Star certified products up to 80% by 2030 as part of internal eco-friendly product assessment
In 2011, we introduced our Eco-Index, an evaluation index unique to our company that seeks to evaluate the eco-friendliness of our products. Developed by LGE, the Eco-Index quantifies our products’ eco-design into grades through an eco-friendliness evalutaion. It classifies groups and models of products into three grades according to their level of eco-friendliness: Green 1 Star, Green 2 Star, and Green 3 Star. We realistically operate and manage eco-index standards by analyzing and reflecting changes in the product development environment. In addition, we strive to increase the proportion of Green 3 Star products, i.e., products that are evaluated as being the highest level according to the Eco-Index. We will continue to conduct eco-friendly evaluation and performance management based on the Eco-Index in order to develop and expand upon green products with the ultimate goal of satisfying customers.

• Increase the reuse of product packaging materials by 2030
We pursue business strategies that considers eco-friendly elements, and we implement activities in accordance with these strategies, thereby continuing to minimize waste generated during delivery to customers after production. Following the development of the Eco-friendly Packaging Design Guide, which contains guidelines for reducing packaging material use and volume, and expanding reuse and recycling, we have been steadily expanding the application of this guide to all of our products. In addition, we are actively participating in a pilot project aimed at evaluating the reusability of packaging materials with the ultimate goal of reducing the amount of waste we generate. Going forward, we will strive to minimize the burden placed on the environment via business activities that take eco-friendly factors into consideration, such as expanding the reuse of product packaging materials in order to reduce waste.
