Lg Chem

LG Chem, a chemical company based in KR, reported its most recent emissions data for 2025, with Scope 1 emissions at about 5.14 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 3.75 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2024, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 5.66 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 3.68 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, these figures were about 5.19 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 3.89 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2. For 2022, LG Chem recorded Scope 1 emissions of approximately 5.63 billion kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 3.93 billion kg CO2e. In 2021, Scope 1 emissions were roughly 5.44 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions reached approximately 4.90 billion kg CO2e. The year 2020 saw Scope 1 emissions of about 5.39 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of roughly 4.13 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 1.24 billion kg CO2e, including categories such as investments (219.19 million kg CO2e), capital goods (14,000 kg CO2e), business travel (2.27 million kg CO2e), employee commute (4.74 million kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (517.99 million kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (59.99 million kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (318.44 million kg CO2e).

LG Chem has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2. This commitment is supported by a strategy to reduce direct emissions, avoid indirect emissions, and compensate through carbon offsets. The company has also established a target for "2030 Carbon-neutral Growth" for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, accelerating its previous goal by 20 years, announced in February 2022. Additionally, LG Chem aims to reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% from 2019 levels by 2050. LG Chem, as LGC Science Group, has a near-term Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 48.7% by FY2030 from a FY2021 base year.
