LG strengthens ESG activities such as raising native bees to save natural ecosystems!!
Jun 25, 2025
LG is accelerating ESG (environmental, social, and governance) management and carrying out various activities to preserve natural ecosystems and realize carbon neutrality.
Recently, the LG Evergreen Foundation created a native honey bee habitat in Jeonggwangsan Mountain near Hwadam Forest in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do. Honeybees are involved in the production of more than 70 species of crops among the top 100 crops, which account for 90% of the world's food through pollination (受粉).The disappearance of honeybees could lead to food shortages due to reduced crop production, and further threaten the entire natural ecosystem.
In cooperation with Kim Dae-rip, a master and social enterprise 'BeCom Friends', Halla native bees are protected and grown. It plans to double its population every year to 4 million by 2027. Honeybees are responsible for pollinating major crops and are key to ecosystem maintenance, but populations have plummeted due to cystic budding disease and climate change. LG is also striving to expand wheat plants and restore ecosystems, and BcomFriends is also contributing to the creation of social values by supporting beekeepers with developmental disabilities.
In the environmental sector, LG published a group-wide 'LG NetZero Special Report' aimed at becoming carbon neutral in 2050, reducing 4.25 million tonnes of carbon in 2023. This is the same effect as the creation of a forest with an area of about 106,000 soccer fields. Carbon reduction was achieved through the conversion of renewable energy along with practical carbon reduction activities such as LG Display's reduction of harmful gases and LG Chemical's use of hydrogen fuel. LG plans to reduce carbon emissions by 34% by 2030, 52% by 2040, and achieve net zero by 2050.
In addition, LG published a '2023 ESG Report' reflecting international standards to preemptively respond to the mandatory disclosure of ESG, and prepared climate change risk analysis and countermeasures. In this report, in addition to climate change (environmental (E) fields), safety and health (social (S) fields) and compliance management (governance (G) fields) were analyzed together to strengthen the safety of workplaces and to manage the compliance system for organizations and employees. LG has been carrying out ESG activities, including continuous social contribution activities, as well as governance improvement activities such as completing the establishment of an ESG committee and an internal transaction committee within the board of directors of major listed companies and strengthening the authority and independence of the audit committee.
