Ecology, The Green program


The Green Program is designed to develop eco-products and is operated in conjunction with partner firms.

In conjunction with partner firms, the company operates what is known as the LG Electronics Green Program, a certification system that encourages environmental awareness in an attempt to reduce hazardous substances in a product and the environmental damages they cause. This program was designed to comply with national and international hazardous substance-related regulations, to offer eco-products to customers, to refrain from using hazardous substances during the production stage of raw materials and parts, and to minimize the negative impact on the environment. LG Electronics and its partner firms aim to establish themselves as environmentally friendly companies. The program has, therefore, targeted all of LG Electronics' partner firms that supply parts, raw materials, and other materials.


Under the standards established by the Green Program, LG Electronics and its partner firms are assessed on their environmental management systems and hazardous substance management methods for a given product. A company that passes the environmental awareness evaluation is awarded a Green Program certificate, giving it the all-important public image of a company that is doing its bit for the environment.


Through sustainable management, LG Electronics is helping to produce a clean environment and a warm-hearted society.
LG Electronics' Promise3 represents the promises made to the people, the Earth, and LG Electronics itself: a society in which LG Electronics' employees, stakeholders, and the entire population can live happily; the Earth which we help make a cleaner, safer place for generations to come by carrying out various environmental activities; and LG Electronics as one of the top international players thanks to its innovative spirit.


LG Electronics aims at to realize these three dreams.
