This marks a notable shift in their emissions profile, particularly in Scope 3, which reflects the broader impact of their supply chain and product lifecycle. Over the previous years, LG Corp has demonstrated a trend of reducing its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. For instance, in 2022, the company reported approximately 1,954,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2,068,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, indicating a consistent effort to lower direct and indirect emissions. The total emissions for 2021 were about 21,754,000,000 kg CO2e, showing a decrease in emissions over the years. Despite these reductions, LG Corp has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or documented reduction initiatives. Their climate commitments remain vague, with no formal pledges or targets outlined in the available data. The company continues to navigate the complexities of carbon emissions management, focusing on improving its operational efficiency and reducing its environmental footprint.
