Biodiversity Conservation｜LG Energy Solution

Biodiversity Conservation

To support biodiversity conservation, products should be produced with consideration for ecosystem balance and responsible resource use. In line withe this principles, LG Energy solution is committed to reducing the consumption of natural capital and ensuring that used resources can be returned to nature. To this end, we have established a Biodiversity Protection and Deforestation Prevention Policy based on Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN), and is actively carrying out biodiversity conservation initiatives in collaboration with local communities.

Biodiversity Management Strategy

Accurately understanding the impacts and dependencies on natural capital and biodiversity provides an essential foundation for effectively identifying and addressing related risks and opportunities. In line with the LEAP (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare) approach of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), LG Energy Solution assessed the level of dependency on nature across its global production sites. The assessment results are disclosed in the ESG Report.

Biodiversity Conservation Activities
– Activities to Protect Endangered
Species in Cheongju

The Ochang Energy Plant of LG Energy Solution is taking part in Endangered Species Conservation Project organized by the Geum River Basin Environmental Office to protect class II endangered wildlife, giant water bug, and preserve local biodiversity in Cheongju area. We have signed an MOU with the Geum River Basin Environmental Office
and Cheongju municipal government to provide financial support and aid in the releasing of endangered species and improving their habitat. LG Energy Solution will continue to contribute to the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity.
