LG's Innovative Solutions Support ‘Better Life for All' Earth Week and Beyond

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 28, 2025 /3BL/ - Community initiatives commemorating Earth Day 2025 across North America supported LG Electronics' 'Better Life for All' vision with activations bringing together employees, partners and local communities. Led by e-waste recycling drives in five states and a New York Times Square digital experience, Earth Day initiatives included LG employees building nesting boxes for local wildlife and planting trees on LG campuses, reinforcing the company's vision of driving positive change.
'Technology has the power to shape a better future, and at LG, we know it is our responsibility to help create a 'Better Life for All',' said LG Electronics North America President & CEO Chris Jung. 'Earth Day gives us an opportunity to show how technology, when paired with collaboration, can help tackle some of today's biggest challenges, from resource efficiency to wildlife rehabilitation. LG is always looking for new ways to use our people and technology to create positive change, not just on Earth Day, but year 'round.'
To combat electronic waste and raise awareness about responsible technology disposal, LG hosted community-wide e-waste drives at its campuses in Englewood Cliffs, N.J.; Huntsville, Ala.; Clarksville, Tenn.; Lincolnshire, Ill.; Santa Clara, Calif.; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada; collecting and routing more than 3,500 pounds of outdated electronics for responsible recycling in partnership with LG's e-waste provider, ERI, the nation's largest recycler of e-waste.
Part of LG's broader global circularity initiative, these electronics recycling events underscore LG's commitment to driving progress toward smarter waste solutions. During the month of April, over 3.7 million pounds of e-waste is being recycled through ERI. Through its nationwide, year-round electronics recycling program, LG aims to collect and responsibly recycle more than 50 million pounds of e-waste in 2025.
Linked to its ongoing partnership with the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), LG employees across the country built nesting boxes designed to provide safe spaces for wildlife to raise their young, promote biodiversity and contribute to healthier ecosystems.
Beyond community events, LG leveraged its tech platforms to inspire action on a broader scale. In May, LG will continue its Endangered Species Awareness Series on its iconic Times Square billboard, featuring a high-definition, 3D animated campaign spotlighting the West Indian Manatee. The visually stunning display, developed in partnership with the NWF, combines digital storytelling and immersive visuals to connect millions of people with critical conservation messages in an engaging format. LG has pledged $165,000 to-date to the NWF to support initiatives that protect wildlife and wild places.
'LG's commitment to conservation is inspiring, and its efforts to support biodiversity and raise awareness about vulnerable and endangered species demonstrate the power of collaboration in protecting our planet,' said Carey Stanton, Head of Innovation and Partnerships for National Wildlife Federation. 'By combining direct action with large-scale initiatives, LG is setting an example for how companies can make a meaningful impact.'
These efforts also complement LG's partnership with NBC's The Americas, a 10-part nature documentary airing Sundays on NBC and streaming on Peacock. The series showcases the breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary wildlife of North and South America, emphasizing the importance of preserving these ecosystems for future generations. The partnership directly aligns with LG's goal to foster curiosity and appreciation through innovation in content and delivery.
Also commemorating Earth Day, LG participated in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 'Make Your Energy Choices Count' campaign. Now through May 17, LG is offering promotions on ENERGY STAR® certified appliances through retailers nationwide and LG.com, making high-efficiency, tech-enhanced solutions more accessible to households nationwide.

JCP&L Employee Volunteers Plant Thousands of Donated Trees in N.J.

Total helps put FirstEnergy on pace to exceed 2025 tree donation goal HOLMDEL, N.J., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Employee volunteers from Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), have planted more than 2,000 company-donated trees across JCP&L's New Jersey service territory in 2025 as part of the company's commitment to the environment and sustainability. JCP&L is more than two-thirds of the way towards eclipsing last year's total of 2,795 trees, with 2,174 trees donated and planted to date. The work is part of a larger effort by FirstEnergy, which is on pace to pass its goal of donating 25,000 trees in 2025 across its five-state service territory. So far this year, nearly 23,000 trees have been planted. Doug Mokoid, FirstEnergy's President, New Jersey: "We are fortunate to work and raise our families in one of the most beautiful states in the country and privileged to give back to our communities with a program that provides a greener, cleaner and healthier environment. Our team members often clean up fallen trees after storms, and I'm proud of their commitment to volunteering their time to restore what was lost by planting anew." Tree-planting locations are chosen in partnership with local nonprofit organizations with a focus on ensuring the trees are placed safely away from power lines and other utility infrastructure. Tree varieties include native species like red maple, river birch, white and northern red oak, shagbark and bitternut hickory, pitch pine and dogwoods. Some of this year's tree-planting events include: More than 580 trees planted on Earth Day with the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore at Camp Sacajawea in Farmingdale. 400 trees planted with Schiff Natural Lands Trust and the Mendham Township Environmental Commission at the Tempe Wick Preserve in Mendham. Collaborations with Shade Tree Commissions and Parents Teacher Organizations to plant trees at local schools, including 160 trees at Howell Middle School South in Howell, 100 trees at Milford Brook Elementary School in Manalapan and 64 trees at Clara B. Worth Elementary School in Bayville. Nearly 180 trees planted at the Wattles Stewardship Center in Port Murray with the N.J. Audubon Society and another 250 trees planted with the Musconetong Watershed Association at Hampton Borough Park in Hampton. More than 300 trees planted at Winding River Park in Toms River, days after a wildfire scorched more than 15,000 acres just 10 miles to the south. In addition to tree plantings, JCP&L employees volunteer at events that include tree donations. In early May, volunteers gave away 150 tree seedlings at the New Jersey Sustainability Summit, hosted by Sustainable Jersey at Bell Works in Holmdel, home to JCP&L's central New Jersey headquarters. The efforts are led by JCP&L's Green Team, a group of employees that volunteer their time and talents to develop and support environmental initiatives. So far this year, more than 40 JCP&L Green Team members have donated a total of 214 hours to tree-planting events. JCP&L launched FirstEnergy's first Green Team in 2018, and the company now has Green Team chapters in each of the states it serves. JCP&L serves 1.1 million customers in the counties of Burlington, Essex, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.

Northern Liberties and Equity Resource Investments Acquire Arbor Crest, Expanding Affordable Active Adult Housing in Silver Spring, MD

BROOKLYN, N.Y. & CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 10, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Northern Liberties, a real estate investment firm specializing in workforce housing, and Equity Resource Investments, LLC ("ERI"), a multi-strategy real estate investment firm focused on essential housing and workplaces, today announced the acquisition of Arbor Crest, an 80-unit active adult apartment community located in Silver Spring, Maryland. Built in 2004, Arbor Crest offers one- and two-bedroom residences for adults aged 62 and over, with amenities designed to support the active lifestyles of its residents. Situated just outside Washington, D.C., the property is well-located in one of the region's most accessible suburban markets. As part of the acquisition, Northern Liberties entered into a long-term agreement with Montgomery County through its PILOT (Payment In Lieu of Taxes) program. The structure abates all county property taxes for 20 years in exchange for maintaining rent restrictions for qualified residents earning between 45% to 70% of area median income – and is expected to provide long-term affordability without a reliance on federal subsidies. "We believe this is important for the 'missing middle'—those on fixed or moderate incomes who earn too much for housing assistance, but too little to afford market rents," said Sharif Mitchell, Co-Founder and CEO of Northern Liberties. "By pairing public incentives with targeted capital upgrades and resident-focused services, we believe we can create value for both residents and the property." "We are pleased to partner with Northern Liberties on this investment," added Paul Coelho, Managing Partner at ERI. "This investment aligns with ERI's approach of seeking to invest in essential real estate across markets that we believe have a common theme of affordability and the potential to generate risk-adjusted returns." Mitchell, who grew up in Silver Spring where his grandfather lived in a similar senior community, considers the acquisition a personal milestone. "Coming back to invest in the community where I was raised—it's full circle. It makes the work we do even more meaningful." About Northern Liberties Northern Liberties is a vertically-integrated real estate investment firm focused on workforce housing. By providing strategic capital improvements, hands-on asset management and community-centered resident services, the firm seeks to deliver market rate returns and meaningful social impact. Headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, Northern Liberties is a minority-owned and operated venture, the principals of which have completed over $485 million in investments. About Equity Resource Investments, LLC Founded in 2002, Equity Resource Investments, LLC ("ERI") is a value-oriented, real estate private equity firm investing in the fragmented, inefficient and complex lower middle market. The firm focuses on essential housing and workplaces in the Affordable Housing, Workforce Housing and Value-Add Industrial sectors across the U.S. and also makes certain Special Situation and Opportunistic investments.
