The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, totalling approximately 15,674,000 kg CO2e, which includes emissions from business travel, purchased goods and services, and upstream transportation and distribution. Over the years, LG Corp has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2022, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of about 1,954,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2,068,000 kg CO2e, indicating a focus on managing direct and indirect emissions. The total emissions for Scope 1 and 2 combined in 2022 were around 19,365,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined by LG Corp, such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or documented reduction targets. This lack of formalised targets suggests that while the company is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have established a comprehensive strategy for significant reductions in line with global climate goals. Overall, LG Corp's emissions data reflects a substantial operational footprint, with ongoing efforts to track and manage emissions across various scopes.
