Introduction of Reusable Containers in Company Cafes
To spread sustainable consumption culture and reduce carbon, LG U+ introduced reusable containers in headquarters cafes from 2024, resulting in annual plastic reduction of approximately 7 tons and spreading eco-friendly practices in daily life.
Employee Carbon Neutrality Challenge
To help employees reduce carbon emissions in daily life and lead big changes through small practices, we are promoting a climate crisis response campaign with the Ministry of Environment and Korea Climate & Environment Network through 10 practices and the 'Climate Action 1.5°C' app.
