In 2023, LG Energy Solution reported total carbon emissions of approximately 1,493,430,000 kg CO2e, comprising 287,493,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 1,205,937,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 1 emissions compared to 2022, where they were about 306,029,000 kg CO2e. The company has not disclosed specific targets for reducing emissions, nor does it appear to have set Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets. In 2022, the total emissions were approximately 1,501,618,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 306,029,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at 1,195,589,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates that LG Energy Solution is actively monitoring its emissions across Scopes 1 and 2, but there is no available information on Scope 3 emissions for 2023. Overall, while LG Energy Solution has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of specific reduction targets or commitments suggests a need for further clarity on its long-term climate strategy.
