Smart Green Movement
LG Electronics' Spanish subsidiary is actively promoting the Smart Green Movement in collaboration with its business partners, with the goal of addressing local environmental issues and creating a sustainable future. In 2025, in addition to its three existing initiatives—Trees (restoration of terrestrial ecosystems), Bees (promotion of biodiversity), and Seas (protection of marine ecosystems)—the company launched a fourth initiative, Minerals, aimed at accelerating the geological carbon sequestration process.
Smart Green Trees (Forest Restoration)
Since 2017, LG Electronics has carried out forest restoration activities in various regions across Spain and Portugal, including Guadalajara, Madrid, Barcelona, and Malaga. Since 2019, through its 'One Person, One Tree' campaign, the company has planted approximately 170,000 trees each year, and in 2025, it expanded the program across Spain, strengthening the foundation for local community participation. In particular, in the Andújar area, the company held a large-scale 'Nendo Dango' workshop with more than 200 participants, contributing to the regeneration of the local ecosystem.
Smart Green Bees (Restoring Bee Population)
To enhance biodiversity, LG Electronics has been promoting a project since 2020 to restore the population of native honeybees, which play an essential role in plant pollination. In particular, the company supports ecosystem restoration with a focus on the Iberian honeybee, a species native to Spain, with a long-term goal of increasing the bee population by approximately 48 million. In 2025, the company achieved an increase of 14.5 million new Iberian honeybees across Spain. In addition, from 2023 to 2025, corporate partners such as Guerlain and Banner Batteries participated in the project, expanding its scope to a total of nine regions to date.
Smart Green Seas (Marine Ecosystem Restoration)
LG Electronics is carrying out a project to restore marine biodiversity through the restoration of Posidonia1), a key marine plant that serves as a habitat for marine life and produces oxygen. Posidonia is a marine plant native to the Balearic Islands, designated as a priority protected species under EU legislation, and, similar to terrestrial grasslands, it plays an important role as a carbon sink by storing carbon on the seabed during its growth.
1) The “Posidonia oceanica” meadows found in Spain’s Balearic Islands are considered one of the most powerful natural carbon sinks. Originating from ancient times, this marine plant has a carbon absorption capacity 15 times greater than that of the Amazon rainforest per unit area.
Smart Green Minerals
Launched in 2025, this new pilot project aims to apply 'Enhanced Weathering' technology to urban environments in collaboration with the Ávila City Council, the Catholic University of Ávila (UCAV), and TREMI S.A. By spreading finely crushed basalt across urban parks and green spaces, LG Electronics induces these silicate rocks to react with water, absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and store it in the soil over the long term. This technology not only provides carbon capture effects but also delivers various environmental benefits, such as improving soil quality, promoting plant growth without chemical fertilizers, and mitigating the acidification of aquatic ecosystems, helping to transform urban green spaces into permanent carbon sinks.
Executive social contribution funding activities
Over 87% of LG Electronics executives are leading social contribution efforts by donating 0.5% of their monthly salaries. This voluntary fund, which began in 2004, has expanded to include overseas executives since 2019, spreading greater value in giving.
Social contribution fund composition (Korea)
(Unit: KRW million)
| Category | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Executive social contribution fund | 390 | 390 | 390 |
| Rounding fund1) | 225 | 200 | 200 |
1) Available only to employees who have consented; since 1995, amounts under KRW 1,000 (the rounding remainder) have been deducted from base salary and accumulated for use in social contribution funding.
