Green LGE
*Environment, Safety & Health(ESH) Management System
In order to reduce risks to the environment, LGE has been operating
a management system based on ISO14001 since 1995 and have
supplemented this by following OHSAS18001 (Occupational Health &
Safety Assessment Series) guidelines since 1999. Currently, all
domestic facilities have acquired ISO14001 and OHSAS18001
certifications, and we have installed our management system
throughout our organization. Annual inspections are conducted by
headquarters as we conduct internal inspections of each of our
facilities and periodically assess management performance. We try
to identify potential risks and continuously work to improve our
system to ensure internal and external regulations are met.
*Emergency Response System
For the safety and protection of all employees and assets, we have
devised Enterprise Emergency Response Regulations that include
EESH Accident Response Rules. For each of our companies, we set
up risk management scenarios in order to improve our ability to
respond to various situations. During actual crisis situations, LGE’s
Enterprise Emergency Response committee can quickly respond to
ensure employee safety and protection of assets.
*Support for overseas facilities
As a part of the global management of our overseas facilities, we
have been strengthening preventative measures by enacting global
environment and safety regulations and reinforcing our
evaluation/award/education system. We are providing our overseas
subsidiaries with tailored ESH management consulting and technical
support to promote advancement of eco-friendly activities. With the
successful implementation of this system, LGE plans to support
facilities to continuously enhance their ESH management
performance.
*Participation in the Ministry of Environment’s EPE
We have adopted the guidelines from the Ministry of Environment for
creating a model practice for environment management called the
EPE (Environmental Performance Evaluation). The EPE is a method
to quantitatively evaluate, analyze, report and communicate actual
performance results of the policies, goals and other standards set by
the committee to prevent pollution and improve the environment.
Using EPE’s objective structural cost/benefit analysis tool, we are
now able to evaluate our performance against a standardized eco-
friendly management score.
*Certification of eco-friendly products
LGE has developed a management system to abolish the use of
harmful substances that starts from the supply chain. LGE has been
developing and applying technologies to replace toxic metals such
as lead. Moreover, we have expanded our recycling technology to
reduce electronic waste products. One of LGE’s refrigerator models
qualified for an EDP (Environmental Declaration of Products)
certificate, awarded by the Ministry of Environment, in 2002 for the
first time. In 2003, all of our DIOS refrigerators received the EDP, and
we are striving to acquire such certification for all LGE products.
*LG HI : LG Health Index
We have developed a LG Health Index to manage our employees’
health in a more systematic and efficient way. The LGHI is used to
develop a personalized health program for each employee.
*Selected for superior environment and safety
management system
On “World Environmental Day” or June 5th, 2003, our Changwon 1 &
2 factories were awarded the Presidential Award for Superior
Environment Management. Our Seoul facility was awarded the Prime
Minister Award for Electronics Safety recommended by the Ministry
of Commerce, Industry and Energy. Moreover, the Ministry of Labor
and Maeil Business Newspaper awarded our Gumi TV facility its top
prize in the manufacturing category for superior safety management
in 2003 and specifically acknowledged our strengthened accident
prevention activities and our successful safety management support
system for our strategic partners.
