LG Display has published its '2026 ESG Report,' detailing its achievements in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management over the past year, along with future goals. The report outlines key tasks across these areas and clarifies the company's sustainable management strategy.
According to industry sources, this marks LG Display's 15th ESG report. The document highlights major achievements in ten core areas identified by the ESG committee, including climate response, resource circulation, hazardous substances, product responsibility, workplace safety, support for partners, human rights management, human capital, stakeholder communication and transparent information disclosure, and information security.
In the environmental sector, LG Display's greenhouse gas reduction efforts were particularly emphasized. The company has reduced its emissions by 67% compared to 2018 through increased investment in eco-friendly facilities and optimized operations based on AX technology. This figure surpasses its initial goal of a 53% reduction by 2030.
The company has also strengthened its management of product environmental impacts. It expanded its life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate the entire life cycle of its products and improved data collection and analysis accuracy through a new IT system. Last year, the assessment scope was broadened to include 68% of all products sold.
In the display industry, the demand for carbon emission information from global clients has intensified, making the ability to conduct comprehensive evaluations and manage supply chain ESG factors a critical competitive advantage for panel manufacturers.
On the social front, LG Display focused on enhancing the ESG capabilities of its partners. The company provided training on the 'ESG Supply Chain Code of Conduct' to its partners and supported compliance with safety, environmental, and ethical standards. It also operates coexistence programs in finance, technology collaboration, and healthcare to foster a sustainable ecosystem among first, second, and third-tier partners.
In governance, LG Display has advanced its compliance management and information security systems. Last year, it expanded the scope of its internal reporting procedures through a compliance improvement project and incorporated information security into its core areas.
Based on its ESG performance, LG Display has been included in the S&P Global Dow Jones Sustainability Index for three consecutive years in the Asia-Pacific category. It has also received a 'Platinum' rating from the global ESG assessment agency EcoVadis, awarded to the top 1% of companies, for two consecutive years.
The '2026 ESG Report' will be published sequentially in Korean and English and can be accessed on LG Display's official website.
