LG Display plans to reduce 10,000 tons of greenhouse gas this year with 88 partners. This is equivalent to the amount of greenhouse gases absorbed by 1.5 million trees in a year.
LG Display provided 258 greenhouse gas reduction items to their 88 partners through the 'Green Growth Partnership' support project.
As a practical strategy for eco-friendly management, it is a project to help business partners who have difficulties in establishing a greenhouse gas management system due to a lack of budget and manpower. It supports the discovery of eco-friendly items, monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions, and compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
LG Display is helping its partners to convert to low-carbon business sites in order to establish a green growth ecosystem. Since 2012, a total of 88 companies have been supported. Customized consulting for greenhouse gas reduction was also provided. Carbon partnership certifications have been supported since 2013 for suppliers that have completed consulting. This measure is to encourage carbon emission reduction.
LG Display provides a carbon emission management tool to systematize carbon emission reduction. It is a customized system that calculates greenhouse gas emissions when electricity usage is input. 65 distinguished companies obtained certificates using this tool, and the company also grants additional points to suppliers who obtained certificates.
LG Display provided and improved its management tool to suit its partner companies. This year, in order to accelerate the establishment of a green ecosystem in South Korea, energy efficiency improvement will be strengthened, such as △Engineer efficiency improvement △ Waste heat recovery and recycling △ Light emitting diode (LED) lighting replacement. Building an eco-friendly, low-carbon ecosystem in the display manufacturing process is considered a key task.
LG Display has formed an environment-focused organization and is implementing various policies to achieve carbon neutrality, such as △ Development of low-carbon production technology, △ Development of eco-friendly products, △ Maximize energy efficiency, △ Reinforce monitor of air and water pollutant emissions, and △ Participate in the greenhouse gas emission trading system.
