LG Commits to Carbon Neutrality by 2030.
Company Plans Further Reductions in Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Expansion of Carbon Offset Projects.
LG Electronics (LG) has launched its aggressive Zero
Carbon 2030 initiative, committing to achieving net-zero
carbon emissions from its global operations within 12
years.
In line with its larger sustainable business strategy,
LG will look to reduce carbon emissions from its global
operations by 50 percent compared to a 2017 baseline by
implementing various carbon reduction and renewable
energy initiatives. This effort will help bring LG
closer to reaching its ultimate goal of carbon
neutrality, achieving a net-zero carbon emissions
footprint by balancing carbon emissions with carbon
removal.
Through a variety of strategic initiatives, the company
will cut carbon emissions across its global production
sites from nearly 2 million tons recorded in 2017 to
960,000 tons by the end of 2030. LG is looking to expand
its high-efficiency facilities and technologies
targeting greenhouse gas reduction, alleviating the
creation of carbon emissions during the production
process.
LG will expand renewable energy installations using
solar energy products and actively utilize its own
business-to-business technology solutions such as
high-efficiency chillers and Energy Management Systems
(EMS) to reduce carbon emissions.
