LG'S LATEST SUSTAINABILITY REPORT HIGHLIGHTS PROGRESS TOWARD 2030 ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS
LG Electronics (LG) has released its 2024–2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting the company's strong progress toward its 2030 environmental targets, including reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and advancements in resource circularity. The report outlines the company's wide-ranging efforts to embed sustainability into its operations as part of its vision for a Better Life for All. In 2024, LG's Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) emissions totaled 910,000 tons of CO? equivalent (tCO?eq), bringing the company close to its 2030 goal of 878,000 tons. The company had previously set itself the goal to reduce GHG emissions by 54.6 percent (compared to 2017 levels) by 2030. The early achievement of this goal was driven by proactive adoption of energy-efficient equipment and carbon-reduction technologies across multiple production processes. LG is also making headway in cutting Scope 3 emissions from product use through expanded application of AI and other energy-saving technologies. In 2024, the company reduced product carbon emissions by 19.4 percent compared to 2020. Notably, LG was the first South Korean home appliance manufacturer to have its emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). These targets include a 20 percent cut in Scope 3 emissions across seven key product categories by 2030 (based on a 2020 baseline). Progress has also been made in resource circulation. LG achieved a 97.4 percent waste recycling rate at its global production sites in 2024 – surpassing its 2030 goal of 95 percent. The company also collected 532,630 tons of used electronics from 91 locations in 56 countries last year, bringing its cumulative total since 2006 to over 5 million tons. Additionally, LG increased the amount of recycled plastic used in its products by 36 percent year-over-year. LG remains committed to enhancing accessibility in its products and services. The LG Comfort Kit, designed to make appliances easier to use regardless of age, gender or ability, now includes 14 products. Accessibility features such as screen reading and simultaneous audio output for hearing aids and speakers on LG OLED TVs, as well as kiosks with height adjustment and tactile keypads, further reflect this commitment. The company also provides inclusive services including disability care programs, sign language consultations, senior support, and in-store educational sessions on safety, IT and culture. LG continues to strengthen its approach to responsible management through a governance structure rooted in compliance and ethics. The company's board of directors is guided by principles of independence, expertise and transparency, while its ESG Committee plays an expanding role in overseeing sustainability initiatives. In its supply chain, LG supports shared growth through third-party ESG audits aligned with Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) standards. As a result of its continued efforts, LG ranked in the 'Top 1%' of S&P Global's Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) for the second year in a row. The company has also earned an 'A' grade from Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) for five consecutive years and has been included in the Dow Jones 'Best-in-Class World Index' for 13 straight years.

NHAI's sustainability push: Greenhouse gas emissions dip, even as highway construction picks up pace
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) took a step towards sustainable development, announcing that its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity has been reduced to 0.8 MTCO₂e per kilometre from 1.0 MTCO2e/km. This drop comes even as national highway construction rose by 20% in FY 2023–24, the agency said in its latest Sustainability Report. The comprehensive 2023–24 report outlines NHAI's approach to embedding environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles across its operations. A key highlight was the Authority's progress towards a circular economy. More than 631 lakh metric tonnes of recycled materials, including fly ash, plastic waste and reclaimed asphalt, were used in highway construction during the year. 'In addition to this, NHAI continued to undertake nationwide tree plantation drives along the national highways,' the report noted, cited by ET. In FY 2023-24, over 56 lakh saplings were planted, followed by 67.47 lakh in FY 2024–25, taking the total to over 4.69 crore trees since the launch of the Green Highways Policy in 2015. The initiative, NHAI said, has contributed to the creation of significant carbon sinks and improved environmental sustainability along key road corridors. NHAI also reported the development of 467 water bodies under the Amrit Sarovar Mission. These efforts have not only revived local water sources but also yielded nearly 2.4 crore cubic metres of soil for use in highway projects, resulting in estimated savings of around Rs 16,690 crore. Additionally, water use intensity dropped by 74% in water-stressed regions compared to previous years, ET quoted. On the human resources front, the Authority said 100% of its workforce, both direct employees and contract workers, are now covered under its Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) framework. The organisation also reported zero instances of workplace discrimination, underlining its focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. On the technology side, NHAI highlighted the implementation of 'Data Lake 3.0', an AI-enabled platform that has enhanced project oversight and helped resolve 155 conciliation claims, delivering estimated savings of Rs 25,680 crore. Meanwhile, FASTag usage reached 98.5% nationwide, easing congestion and reducing vehicle emissions at toll plazas.
