LG Electronics keen on Green technology in product development

In 2014, the electronics giant made organization-wide efforts to build and strengthen fundamentals, the very foundation for sustainable and enduring growth. Besides ensuring that the brand stayed at the apex of innovation, the electronics giant also decided to focus on environmentally conscious solutions by developing Eco-Designs and distributing Eco-Products all with the aim of creating a safer and cleaner world.

“LG is committed to establishing clear operational accountability and creating products that not only enhance consumers’ lives, but also encourage an environmentally responsible lifestyle”.

From a design perspective, LG’s strategy revolves around reducing the environmental impact of a product’s development, production, and circulation while improving efficiency of resources. This involves optimizing on recyclable material as well and reducing hazardous materials.

Recently, LG was listed on the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Index. Following a best-in-class approach, the Dow Jones’ indices measure the performance of the world’s sustainability leaders. Companies are selected based on a comprehensive assessment of long-term economic, environmental and social criteria that account for general as well as industry-specific sustainability trends.

The recognition was attributed to the company’s investment in green technology aimed at enhancing energy efficiency on the products as well as its ability to roll out eco- friendly products.

Besides the recent listing, LG has enjoyed green accolades for years. For instance, LG’s bottom-freezer refrigerators have been industry leaders in efficiency, with a Total No Frost energy grade rating of A+++ -20 percent. Recently, LG’s curved-screen 1080p OLED display was honored for its design innovation and environmentally friendliness, receiving a 2015 Edison Award for its 55EC9300 OLED HDTV. The display won the Gold Edison Award in the “Green” category.

Indeed, the future-oriented brand plays its role as a global corporate citizen from managing the carbon footprint to championing environmentally conscious conversations in all its community engagement initiatives.
