LX International has released its 2026 Sustainability Management Report, which outlines its strategies for addressing climate change and the ESG performance of its overseas operations.
The company announced the report's publication on June 30. Since 2014, LX International has issued annual sustainability reports detailing its strategies and achievements in environmental (E), social (S), and governance (G) areas.
This year's report includes performance and future plans related to eight key issues: climate change response, biodiversity and ecosystem protection, health and safety, supply chain management, community contributions, ethical management, compliance management, and board and decision-making systems.
Notably, LX International has disclosed climate scenario analysis results based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) for the first time in this report. It analyzes the impacts of transition and physical risks on its business and presents response strategies, enhancing its capacity to comply with global sustainability disclosure standards.
The company has also begun establishing a natural capital management system using the methodology of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). It has laid the groundwork for managing human rights risks throughout its operations by conducting human rights impact assessments and developing human rights management policies.
The ESG performance of its overseas operations has also been highlighted. The environmental restoration project at the Lapu-Lapu copper mine in the Philippines became the first to receive official certification from the Philippine government among domestic companies. The hydropower project in Indonesia has been approved as a carbon reduction project under Article 6.4 of the UN Paris Agreement, securing a foundation for future carbon credit business expansion.
Koo Hyuk-seo, CEO of LX International, stated, "Responding to the climate crisis, preserving biodiversity, and respecting human rights are core competencies that determine a company's survival and growth. We will continue to pursue responsible management that considers the resilience of natural capital."
