Healthful
Life in
a Beautiful
Environment
Since 1994 when we announced the LG Declaration for a Cleaner Environment as a first in
Korea, our commitment to the environmental preservation, social responsibility, efficient use of natural
resources, has been evident in various ways. • Looking with a whole new view of economic, environmental,
and social aspects, in 2003 we revised our environmental management standards to a higher degree by
integrating environmental, energy, safety, and health management. We have strictly followed the enhanced
standards, hoping to facilitate sustainability in every area. • We have focused on developing eco-friendly
technology and products. Aiming at producing eco-friendly products, we banned the use of mercury,
cadmium, and other hazardous substances in all products as a world’s first (2005), and have adapted Pb-free
soldering to all products to comply with the EU Restriction of Hazadous Substances (RoHS) Directive. • The
implementation of revised recovery and treatment systems has increased the recovery rate of recyclable
parts from waste products. As part of extended responsibility, we encourage partnering companies to
acquire environmental certificates. Currently, our environmental protection standards have been reinforced
to effectively comply with the EU RoHS Directive. The US-based Underwriters Laboratories Incorporated (UL),
in appreciation of our eco-conscious practices, designated us a model company for hazardous substance
testing. • We continue to diversify eco-products. Current examples include a customized air conditioning
system adopting the eco-friendly coolant and high-efficient inverter system, a side-by-side refrigerator
adopting the next-generation coolant and highly power-saving linear compressor, and the notebook PC
which is compliant RoHS.
