CSR

With the cross-cutting theme of resilience and in line with the three strategic directions, namely, shared resilience, social resilience, and environmental resilience, LG Energy Solution implements various activities that aim to bring sustainable changes for the environment, society, and future generations that we need to protect.

Shared Resilience - Create psychological safety to employees and local residents through participation in sharing activities. Environmental Resilience - Make green energy more accessible and affordable and contribute to avoided emissions. Social Resilience - Support vulnerable social groups with opportunities to be self-sufficient.

Key CSR Activities

LG Energy Solution carries out a variety of activities to support and grow with the local communities near our global business sites. In addition to supporting vulnerable groups in the communities, we work to make green energy more accessible and affordable and provide energy welfare through the installation of renewable energy facilities.

Environmental Restoration

Cheongju Hope Green Power Plant

Through partnerships with local governments and NGOs, we completed the Cheongju hope green power plant, a 410kW solar power facility, at the Cheongju Northern Transfer Center in December 2020. If operated for 20 years, this facility is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 244 tons annually, totaling 4,900 tons, and generate an estimated revenue of approximately KRW 800-1,000 million. The revenue generated from this power plant is donated to the “Hope Green Energy Center” to support underprivileged youth in the Chungbuk region and cultivate young environmental leaders among them.

Shared Resilience

LG Energy Solution provides opportunities for employees to directly participate in social contribution programs (volunteer activities), enabling them to connect with their community and find joy and fulfillment in return. Beginning in 2024, we have been shifting from companyled social contribution initiatives to a model focused on voluntary participation by employees.
To support this shift, LG Energy Solution has set the “Percentage of voluntary employee participation in community service” as a mid- to long-term goal, helping employees experience the joy of giving.

Hamsori Outreach

"Hamsori," meaning "Together with Ensol," is a community outreach and support program for employees based in Seoul, Daejeon, and Ochang. Based on the survey conducted in 2022 on areas and types of activities that employees are interested in engaging, the activities are planned and rolled out on a monthly basis.

Ensol Touch (Donation Kiosk)

"Ensol Touch" is a kiosk system that enables employees’ donations to the vulnerable at their fingertips. The kiosks are installed in various locations in each of the domestic sites, such as at the entrance, lounges, and restaurants. The kiosks display stories of the recipient, selected in consultation with local social welfare institutions, for a week. The employees can read about and donate, on a voluntary basis, by tagging ID card on the screen.

Providing Opportunities for Self-Reliance

Support activities for vulnerable groups

LG Energy Solution is engaged in various support activities for vulnerable populations in global communities. In Korea, we have undertaken initiatives to enhance fire safety environments for vulnerable groups such as basic livelihood recipients, people with disabilities, and elderly living alone in Cheongju

Education Support Activities

LG Energy Solution promotes various initiatives to expand educational opportunities for children and youth and to support the self-reliance of socially vulnerable groups. At its China sites, the company has continued to provide educational resources and scholarships, focusing on students from low-income families as well as vulnerable girls and neglected children. In cooperation with the Yangyao Child Welfare Foundation in Jiangsu Province, LG Energy Solution has been offering scholarships and educational resources since 2019 to create tangible educational opportunities for local students, while also supporting schools through teacher training, infrastructure upgrades, knowledge-sharing lectures, and book donations. Through these efforts, the company contributes to improving the local educational environment and supporting the growth of children.
