LG Electronics Wins Best IRO Award at 2026 Korea IR Awards

LG Electronics announced that its IR head, Park Won-jae, received the Best IRO award at the 2026 Korea IR Awards ceremony held on September 18 at the Korea Exchange's Seoul office in Yeongdeungpo. The award recognizes the company's efforts in enhancing corporate value and strengthening its IR competitiveness through proactive and transparent communication, as well as building shareholder trust.

The company has consistently worked to improve transparent communication with the market. It has hosted open shareholder meetings where the CEO and business unit heads share business strategies and visions, incorporating online streaming, real-time interpretation in Korean and English, and sign language interpretation to enhance investor accessibility and participation. Since 2024, quarterly earnings conference calls led by the IR team have been elevated to be overseen by the CFO.

LG Electronics has also maintained a steady approach to announcing its shareholder return policies and corporate value enhancement plans. In 2024, it introduced a value-up plan that included increasing the dividend payout ratio, implementing a minimum dividend, and conducting semi-annual dividends. Last year, the company executed a share buyback.

This year, LG Electronics completed a 100 billion won share buyback aimed at enhancing shareholder value, with plans to retire the shares by the end of the year.

The Korea IR Council, under the Korea Exchange, has held the Korea IR Awards annually since 2001 to honor companies and individuals that contribute to the healthy development of capital markets through effective IR activities.

LG Electronics previously received the top award in the corporate category, the Financial Services Commission Chairman's Award, in 2024, and an excellence award in the corporate category last year.

Park Won-jae stated, "We will continue to engage in transparent and sincere communication with the market to enhance corporate value and build investor trust."
