CTO Message

The importance of environment can never be overemphasized as a key factor for sustainable growth. We at LG Electronics have recognized the importance of environmental concerns early on and announced the environmental management policy in 1994. Since then, we have made relentless efforts in innovation and development of greener products to preserve the earths environment while enhancing convenience for customers. Last year, we strengthened the competitiveness of existing businesses through the development of differentiated greener products and pursued various initiatives to identify new opportunities. In January 2009, LG Electronics established a voluntary target of reducing greenhouse gases by 150,000 tons from manufacturing and 30 million tons from product use in 2020. The reduction target for manufacturing stage which was set based on absolute reduction is very challenging considering expected increase in greenhouse gas emissions due to our business expansion. To achieve this, we have established greenhouse gas inventories in domestic and overseas sites. We also have been improving the energy efficiency of our products and implementing the green logistics policy. In addition, we developed the Integrated Green IT System to effectively manage environmental risks. Being recognized with its low-carbon green management, LG Electronics was named the best company for disclosing climate change information by CDP Korea in 2009. However, we should not be satisfied with the current achievements; we will continue to push forward in developing industry-leading technologies. We are actively involved in researches to make greener products. We are also participating in development of the Jeju Smart Grid Complex and developing products for the next generation intelligence power network. Moving forward, we will invest in green innovative technology that focuses on the environment and sustainability to satisfy customers needs. In addition, we will provide more values to customers by strengthening the competitiveness of our products and contribute towards sustainable social development.

Supply Chain Environmental Management
To improve the environmental management of our vendors and the green quality of raw materials, we have been operating the LGE Green Program (LGEGP, LGE Green Program) since 2005. As a manufacturing company that receives parts and raw materials from our vendors, we recognize that the green quality of the vendors' products is directly related to our environmental competitiveness, and so we promote Supply Chain Environmental Management (SCEM).

1. LGE Green Program

To manage the use of hazardous substances in the products, LG Electronics is currently operating the LGEGP (LGE Green Program) for about 4,400 primary vendors. Through the program, hazardous substance management, import inspection and monitoring inspection on primary vendors are being carried out. In order to improve the environmental aspects of our products. LGE monitors its supply chain by requesting its primary vendors to check and support their 2nd and 3rd vendors. Since September 2006, we have been running the LGEGP system to manage the certification process. To enable our vendors to give the best response to the LGE Green Program, the Management Guide for Hazardous Substances (both electronic and hard copy) is distributed in 4 languages (Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese) and can be downloaded by anyone by visiting the web site. ( http://www.lge.co.kr/cokr/about/sustainability/environment/supply-chain-environmental-management.jsp)
Certification Criteria All parts and raw, packaging and subsidiary materials supplied to LG Electronics must comply with the management tolerance level (maximum content level of impurities) set by LG Electronics' criteria for hazardous substances. The vendors' organizational system for hazardous substance management along with environmental quality assurance system must also meet our standards.

Environmental Education
In order to increase our employees' environmental awareness, we offer environmental training and education to the employees. Through this environmental training, employees can get more information and develop competence thus making them to more actively respond to environment related regulations / laws.
1. Climate Change Education for Employees
In 2009, LG Electronics provided an online education program, on climate change issues, to more than 20,000 employees in the country. Various subjects including causes and phenomena of climate change along with the related risks and opportunities for companies were covered during the education program. The employees satisfaction level with the education was very high, at 87%. This education is planned to expand and include overseas employees in 2010. We have also developed and are operating a development program to raise environment experts while offering environmental seminars to executive-level managers.

Online Education Page

2. Online Training
Via the environmental safety bulletin board on our Intranet, online training material is distributed weekly to each business site. This training covers not only management of hazardous materials but also regulation trends, and other safety-related content. The material is open to enable all employees.
I used to think that climate change was a media hype that rarely affected me. However, after I learned from the internal seminar that it could have a tremendous effect on my daily life, as well as the companys performance, I realized how serious it is. Now, I try to turn off as many as unused lights possible, and do not print documents that are not necessary. This is my own way of responding to global warming. In my work at the company, I will also think about how to prevent global warming, thus preserving the environment. With global warming, and environmental degradation becoming urgent issues to resolve, LGE needs to strengthen its efforts to educate its employees about the importance of environment, in order to become a green market leader instead of just a follower.

Management Standards for Energy and Greenhouse Gas
LG Electronics established "Energy and Greenhouse Gas Management Rules" that define the roles of responsible organizations and the various measures to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases emission. Each business unit and operation makes efforts based on this rule such as internal reporting requirements, management of reduction goals and performance, how to estimate future emissions and so on. These rules also include measures to encourage employees to be thinking in areas such as reducing internal energy use campaign and sharing best practices in the perspective of energy and greenhouse gas reduction.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Activities

GHG Reduction Target

In January 2009, LG Electronics announced its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the manufacturing process by 150,000 tons compared to 2008, and 30 million tons from customers product use by 2020, compared to the business-as-usual emissions referred to 2007. With this, LG Electronics has been promoting the establishment of greenhouse gas inventories for Korea and overseas sites, efficient facility management and the development of low carbon and high energy-efficient products. In 2009, LG Electronics has reduced 250,000 tons from the manufacturing stage compared to the emission in 2008 and about 5,450,000 tons from customers product use compared to the business as usual emissions in 2007 and we will continuously help customers lower their carbon footprint. To calculate emissions from product use, we utilize specific scenarios for product usage by product which consists of power consumed and time used.

1. Human

LG Electronics is replacing hazardous substances in the products as much as possible. We meet the international environmental regulations on hazardous substances, including RoHS, REACH, and pursue the development of products that will allow replacement of hazardous substances. We have established an integrated system to manage information about substances used for production throughout the company, and have set schedules to remove hazardous substances from newly developed products. To do so, we maintain close cooperation with our vendors, and have a new hazardous substance management system in place within the Green Product Management IT System (see page 16). In addition, we are running laboratories for in-depth analysis hazardous substances, and appropriately managing chemical substances to minimize the impact on the environment (see page 19). We are also focused on technologies for reducing noise and vibration in washing machines, refrigerators, and vacuum cleaners, among others. 1) Hazardous Substance Reduction LG Electronics is researching and developing technology for the management and replacement of hazardous substances. Besides product development, we have continuously operated our Green Program for vendor management from 2005 and monitor hazardous substance use throughout the entire process of product manufacturing. In order to thoroughly test the content of hazardous substance in the parts that used by LG Electronics, we are operating our hazardous substance testing system. LG Electronics is running a hazardous substances monitoring system, with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to screen analysis not only in workplaces in Korea, but also in overseas subsidiaries, in order to measure the amount of hazardous substances in purchased parts. With regard to Parts and products that are likely to contain hazardous substances are regularly monitored in the mass production process, to ensure that they comply with hazardous substance regulations.

2) Home Environment We also apply allergen-reducing technologies to improve the customers wellbeing and are working to reduce noise and vibration during product use. In addition, through studying the application of bio-plastic and other materials, we are putting more effort into developing greener products. We will continue this pursuit in the future to ensure our products can enhance the living environment of our customers. Allergen-reducing Features Some of our products in washer machine, air cleaner, and vacuum cleaner are certified to
reduce allergens in the UK, Germany, and Korea. Our washing machines are certified by the British Allergy Foundation and the Korea Asthma Allergy Foundation and our vacuum cleaners are certified to reduce allergens, and able to remove fine dust, by the BAF and Germanys SL. Development of Bio-Plastics We research ways to make bio-plastics from corn starch, and apply them to products and
packaging. Since materials for biodegradable plastics are collected from green plants, it is possible to reduce the consumption of oil. In addition, we have been developing products that are based on non-toxic natural materials, to provide our customers with products that have minimal impact on the environment during production, normal use and at the end of their useful lives.

2. Energy

LG Electronics energy strategy focuses on two key areas: an improvement in energy efficiency and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing. As product energy efficiency improves, greenhouse gas emissions decrease, which allows customers to reduce electricity bills. As a global enterprise, we try to make a positive difference in our environment now and for future generations by reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life cycle. 1) Energy Efficiency Improvement Energy Efficiency in On-Mode We push forward improvements in products' energy efficiency first by formulating the five-year Technology Roadmap (TRM) for each product line, and then achieving the detailed goals. We have already met the requirements of the EU ERP (Energy-related Products) Directive and also set our own future goals and detailed strategy to reduce energy consumption and standby power. Standby Power If home appliances are plugged into an outlet, they may consume power even when they are not in use. This unnecessary consumption of power is called standby power. The International Energy Agency estimates that in the member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, standby power may amount to 10% of the entire power consumption (or 60W for each household) and recommends that all countries should reduce the standby power consumption of all home appliances to less than 1W by 2010. Against this backdrop, we have set a goal of making our home appliances consume less than 1W of standby power and are working to achieve this target. Currently, most of our home appliances, such as washing machines, TVs, and mobile phone adapters, comply with the requirements. With technological development, we will reduce the standby power consumption of most of our home appliances to below 0.5W by 2013.

2) Greenhouse Gas Reduction Products We have plans to reduce 30 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions from using our products through a longterm, systematic investment in R&D to improve the energy efficiency of products by 2020. We create greenhouse gas inventories and aim to increase the production efficiency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing. To learn how we control greenhouse gas emissions and energy, please read from page 21 to 26.

3. Resources

There are two ways to improve environmental impact of resources: lower resource usage and higher recycling rates. The strategy to lower resource usage includes: reducing extraction of raw materials by decreasing the weight and volume of products; and reducing the burden on nature by utilizing recycled materials. As part of our effort to improve resource sustainability, our strategy for recycling performance involves simplifying connections between parts and improving raw materials to make recycling easier. 1) Resource Reduction We develop slim and light design products to minimize the use of resources as well as for ease of use. We manage energy and water usage in connection with our waste elimination activities to use resources effectively during the manufacturing process. 2) Recyclability Improvement We set standards internally and practice them to manufacture products after considering environmental issues such as degradation and ease of recycling at the product development stage. We use a systematic and effective process involving evaluation and supporting tools such as checklists of recycling evaluation, recycling performance evaluation, and a guide for recycling design. Product developers use recycling checklists and improvement guidelines, based on three design strategies, to assess products and get ideas for making products better.

About 10,000 customers took part in the event, and the amount of e-waste collected was nearly 320 tons. 10 types of e-waste were collected, including TVs, PCs, DVDs, audio products and cellular phones. Recycling companies extract and reuse glass, plastic and metal from e-waste. The event received a lot of attention from people even before the event day. Used Mobile Phone Take-Back Campaign in Korea LG Electronics is improving employees' understanding of recycling and taking part in greener activities through the corporate-wide waste cellular phone collection campaign to collect waste cellular phones from their homes. Cheongju Plant of LG Electronics held a "Love the Environment - Waste Mobile Phone Take-Back Campaign" in collaboration with Gyeonggi provincial government Pyeongtaek Digital Park ran "Cyon Phone & Love," a waste mobile phone take-back campaign together with employees to take back and recycle any types of mobile phones (including other companies' mobile phones) available in Korea. Total 756,215 phones were collected through this program in 2009.
LG Electronics is developing renewable energy technologies and is also deploying environmental energy businesses to actively deal with climate change and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Smart Grid Business

A smart grid, also called the next-generation intelligence power network, requires the application of new intelligent technologies to the existing electricity network and allows utilities and consumers to communicate in real time using two-way digital technology to optimize energy efficiency. With a smart grid, utilities can connect renewable energy sources such as solar or wind to the power grid, and consumers can manage their use of electric products efficiently by using two-way communications and sensors. Many countries are expecting to increase energy consumption efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the smart grid. LG Electronics has been developing remote control products by researching home network technologies and launching those products since the early 2000s. The company is also developing energy efficiency technologies dedicated to the smart grid and obtaining a number of related patents. In addition, we will offer smart appliances and solutions which can bring benefits to customers based on our experience and technology developed in the electronic industry over the past decades Through these efforts, LG Electronics became a leader of a consortium for the smart grid test bed in Jeju in 2009, which is led by the Korean government. Besides LG Electronics, the consortium consists of LG affiliates such as LG Chemical and LG Telecom. In other words, this consortium has the required level of expertise in various areas such as electricity, electronics and batteries. LG Electronics will offer unique features to customers by fulfilling customer-oriented smart location and total solutions, including energy usage optimization.
