LG Electronics, USA, has been nominated to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Top 30 list of the largest green power users among technology and telecommunications partners within the EPA’s Green Power Partnership. LG appears on the Top 30 Tech and Telecom list, following the company’s purchase of 17,000 megawatt-hours of renewable electricity in 2019 – representing 80% of the electricity for U.S office, laboratory and warehouse operations. Renewable energy was an important carbon reduction tool for the company, in meeting its 2020 goal, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50%, a year. James Critchfield, Program Manager, EPA’s Green Power Partnership, said,“EPA applauds LG for its commitment to using green power and for taking a leadership position on the environment. LG is helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and providing an excellent example for other businesses to invest in environmental progress.”
LG now has set its sight on the next-generation goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. The company will strive to reach net-zero emissions through measures such as highly energy-efficient buildings, renewable energy, fleet electrification, and carbon offset projects that encourage the development and adoption of a low-carbon lifestyle.
