[World Environment Day Special]

World Environment Day (June 5), the largest global day for environmental awareness and action, inspires millions of people across 150 countries to unite for the protection of the planet. The theme for 2025 is ‘Beat Plastic Pollution,’ an urgent call to action against the growing global plastic crisis which is harming ecosystems, wildlife, and human health in various ways. This year also focuses on nature-based solutions and real-world innovations, encouraging sustainable practices for lasting change.

As the world shifts from fossil fuels to clean energy, LG Energy Solution is accelerating this journey by advancing next-generation battery technologies and delivering sustainable power solutions across various sectors.

The company is also driving the stable utilization and storage of renewable energy with its energy storage system (ESS) technology, maximizing the use of clean energy to not only cut carbon emissions but also contribute to an eco-friendlier energy ecosystem.

In line with its commitment to environmental stewardship, LG Energy Solution has implemented a Global Environment Policy that ensures its operations help preserve and restore the planet. The company adheres to stringent environmental laws and continuously improves internal practices, exceeding global standards. It is dedicated to addressing key environmental issues such as climate change, ecosystem restoration, and biodiversity, while reducing pollutant emissions.

LG Energy Solution further supports its sustainability goals through circular economy initiatives, recovering resources from end-of-life batteries and production scraps, thus promoting a more sustainable and eco-friendly energy ecosystem. This effort is reinforced through collaboration with suppliers, partners, and local communities, ensuring that all actions align with a broader mission for a cleaner, healthier planet.

In addition to its commitment to environmental sustainability, LG Energy Solution is also actively promoting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives across global offices.

Landfill Zero

One of these initiatives is the Landfill Zero goal, which aims to achieve zero-waste-to-landfill certifications at every production site. To support this, LG Energy Solution has implemented an ISO 14001-based environmental management system and runs various programs designed to mitigate environmental impacts.

The company is working towards achieving zero-waste-to-landfill certification at all its production facilities by 2026, with significant progress already made. LG Energy Solution has already achieved UL Platinum Grade at its Nanjing production facility in China, UL Gold Grade at its Ochang Energy Plant in Korea, and Landfill-Free Certification at its Michigan plant in the U.S. These efforts demonstrate a deep commitment to maximizing resource efficiency, protecting the environment, and taking meaningful steps toward sustainable production practices.

Recently, LG Energy Solution’s Michigan facility successfully renewed its NSF Landfill-Free certification, recognizing the recycling team’s tireless dedication to sustainability. This achievement underscores the company’s commitment to a sustainable future, environmental protection, and social responsibility.

Awareness Programs to Manage Environmental Footprint

As part of its sustainability efforts, LG Energy Solution provides employees with comprehensive training programs. These programs raise environmental awareness by teaching participants how business operations can damage the environment and ensuring compliance with relevant environmental policies, standards, and regulations.

By offering these programs across all business sites, LG Energy Solution fosters a safety-first mindset and empowers employees to actively contribute to the company’s sustainability efforts. The goal is to continually improve internal practices, minimize environmental footprints, and support the company’s broader commitment to sustainability.

Exemplifying these efforts, LG Energy Solution Wroclaw launched a pre-ecological campaign in the spring to further engage employees in practical sustainability initiatives. The program invited employees to exchange any electronic waste for flowers, which were then used to brighten their gardens and balconies – a small but meaningful step toward environmental awareness and cleaner living beyond the workplace.

LG Energy Solution is leading environmental protection through its strong commitment to a sustainable future and concrete action plans. The company is taking a leading role in the global expansion of renewable energy and the establishment of a circular economy, while reducing global dependence on fossil fuels through groundbreaking next-generation battery technologies.

By combining technological innovation with eco-friendly management, LG Energy Solution is protecting the environment and creating a sustainable future where the Earth and humanity thrive together in harmony. As the message of World Environment Day on June 5 states, ‘Change is in my hands’ – a powerful call to action that inspires LG Energy Solution to strive for a better tomorrow for future generations.
