LG Display (CEO Chung Ho-young) announced on April 28 that it won awards for outstanding companies in both the Climate Change Response and Water Management evaluation at the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Korea Report 2019 Publication and Water Management Awards held at the Westin Chosun Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on April 28.

LG Display has been recognized as an eco-friendly company by CDP, an environmental information evaluation agency, as it has been actively engaged in low-carbon and eco-friendly management activities such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and strengthening water management for clean air, clean water and sustainable environments.

CDP is an international information disclosure and evaluation agency that publishes an analysis report after requesting the disclosure of environmental management information to major listed or unlisted companies worldwide each year in connection with environmental issues such as climate change, water, and forest resources.

LG Display is the only IT company that has acquired leadership A in response to climate change. It has also been selected for the third consecutive year for the "Carbon Management Honors Club," which selects five best companies in the world.

This is the result of reducing greenhouse gases by more than 1.2 million tons per year for three consecutive years by installing reduction facilities that can break down sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas, which is larger than carbon dioxide, or by replacing the warming index with lower gases.

In a bid to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, LG Display is implementing various energy-saving efforts, such as introducing a smart control system for refrigerators and manufacturing cold water using cold air in winter. It also received positive reviews for its efforts to strengthen efficient water management, and was selected as an excellent company for "water management" for the second consecutive year.

Meanwhile, LG Display purifies and reuses water that was already used in the production process once again. The annual amount of water used in the production process has been reduced by reusing domestic sewage thrown away under an agreement with local governments. In 2019, LG Display reused more than 76 percent of its water.
