LG Electronics Reports 2025 Scope 1 and 2 Emissions Below 2030 Target Level in Latest Sustainability Report

LG Electronics (LG), a global leader in environmental, social and governance (ESG) management, has released its 2025–2026 Sustainability Report, which highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to realize its vision for a Better Life for All. 

The newly issued report outlines LG’s key ESG initiatives for stakeholders worldwide. Notably, it reveals that in 2025 the company surpassed its 2030 targets for both greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction and waste recycling rate.

In 2025, LG’s Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) emissions across all domestic and overseas business sites totaled 842,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂eq) – a figure significantly lower than the company’s 2030 target of 878,000 tCO₂eq. This achievement reflects the success of LG’s organization-wide efforts to reduce GHG emissions by 54.6 percent by 2030 (from 2017 levels). Key initiatives include the adoption of energy-efficient equipment and the transition to renewable electricity. 

LG also exceeded its target for reducing emissions intensity during the use stage of seven major product categories. In 2025, the company reduced carbon emissions per unit during the use stage of its seven major categories by 22.5 percent compared to 2020. The target, a 20 percent reduction in per-unit GHG emissions from product use by 2030 – using 2020 as a baseline – was previously validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). LG is the first South Korean home appliance manufacturer to receive SBTi validation for such a target.

In addition to its GHG reduction targets, LG has exceeded its resource circularity goals. The company recorded a waste recycling rate of 97.3 percent across all domestic and overseas business sites in 2025 – surpassing its 2030 goal of 95 percent. The company also maintained Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) certification across all domestic operations, with all five domestic production sites achieving the highest Platinum rating. Furthermore, LG collected 640,000 tons of used electronics from 91 locations across 56 countries in 2025, bringing its cumulative total of e-waste recovery to over 5.65 million tons since 2006.

Along with the effectiveness of LG’s environmentally-focused programs, the 2025–2026 Sustainability Report demonstrates the company’s continued drive to enhance the accessibility of its products and services. Key offerings include the LG Comfort Kit, designed to make home appliances easier to use regardless of age, gender or disability; accessibility initiatives such as the broader application of braille and tactile guides, as well as kiosks equipped with sign-language avatars at service locations; and the LG Easy TV, specifically engineered for seniors. LG also provides a range of inclusive services, including sign language consultations for the hearing impaired, and dedicated consultation services for senior customers.

To strengthen board independence and governance transparency, LG has separated the roles of CEO and board chairperson. Earlier this year, the company further reinforced oversight by appointing an independent director as board chairperson.

The 2025–2026 report also features a newly-introduced section on Responsible AI, outlining the company’s AI Ethics Principles and governance framework in response to the growing adoption of AI technologies. Going forward, the company plans to continuously bolster its governance framework to ensure accountability and transparency across the development and use of AI.

A global ESG leader, LG has again been recognized by the world’s premier ESG rating agencies. The company has now been included in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index (DJBIC World) for 14 consecutive years and has ranked in the “Top 1%” of S&P Global’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) for three years in a row. LG also earned an “AA” rating from Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) this year, one level higher than it achieved the previous year. Additionally, the company has received its second consecutive “Platinum” rating from EcoVadis, a distinction reserved for the top one percent of companies in their industry category.

LG has published its annual sustainability report since 2006. The full 2025-2026 report is available on LG’s website.

Top Games to Play on a 100-Inch LG QNED for a Bigger, More Immersive Night

LG Electronics continues to expand the home entertainment experience with the 100-inch LG QNED86, a TV designed to make gaming feel larger, more vivid, and more immersive. The model highlights an Ultra Big Screen, AI Picture Pro, AI Sound Pro, α8 AI Processor Gen2, and an Super Slim Design measuring 16.4mm. The LG QNED evo lineup also supports Dynamic QNED Color Pro, Certified 100% Color Volume, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Filmmaker Mode, HDR10 & HLG, and webOS Renew for the 100-inch class. 

For players and hardcore gamers, a bigger screen is not only about size. It is about choosing games that make the most of scale, color, detail, and sound. Here are some of the best titles to enjoy on a 100-inch LG QNED.

1. Astro Bot for vibrant, feel-good platforming

If the goal is to kick off game night with something joyful, Astro Bot is an easy choice. GameSpot’s review praised the game’s diverse abilities, varied environments, and excellent platforming, noting that its levels stay consistently fresh. 

This is where the 100-inch LG QNED naturally fits. With Dynamic QNED Color Pro and Certified 100% Color Volume, the game’s bright environments and constantly changing visuals feel even more playful and expansive on a larger screen. 

2. Forza Horizon 5 for wide-open, high-speed spectacle

For players who want something more kinetic, Forza Horizon 5 remains a standout. IGN’s review highlighted its exquisite attention to detail, gorgeous lighting, incredible vehicle models, and its richly built world.

A racing game like this benefits from a display that makes motion and scenery feel bigger. On the 100-inch LG QNED, the Ultra Big Screen helps bring out the scale of the environment, while AI Picture Pro supports more detailed, natural-looking visuals. Dolby Vision also strengthens the sense of cinematic depth in visually rich racing sequences. 

3. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for cinematic adventure

For players drawn to story-driven games, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a strong fit. GameSpot described it as the quintessential Indiana Jones game, saying it captures the look, sound, and spirit of the movies while delivering a riveting story with stealth and freeform exploration. 

Because the experience leans heavily into cinematic storytelling, this is a good moment to highlight the audio side of the 100-inch LG QNED. With Dolby Atmos and AI Sound Pro, the TV is better positioned for games where dialogue, environmental sound, and dramatic pacing are a major part of the appeal.

 

4. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for dramatic immersion

If the mood is something more emotional and sweeping, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 deserves a place on the list. The Game Awards called it a phenomenal RPG, praising its heartbreaking tale and the way it blends thrilling action into tactical turn-based combat.

For a game like this, the draw is not just spectacle but immersion. The 100-inch Ultra Big Screen delivers absolute immersion and makes viewers feel like they are in the middle of the scene. That makes the QNED86 particularly suited for games built around atmosphere and emotional scale. 

5. Metaphor: ReFantazio for long-form fantasy storytelling

For gamers who want a title they can settle into over time, Metaphor: ReFantazio is a strong pick. Reviews praise how it combines Atlus’ strength in emotionally charged RPGs with brilliant plot twists, a keen sense of adventure, and fantastical idealism, calling it one of the studio’s greatest games.

 

This is where the broader viewing experience matters. The 100-inch LG QNED supports Filmmaker Mode, HDR10 & HLG, and webOS Re:new, helping turn longer gaming sessions into a more premium home entertainment setup. For fantasy-heavy worlds with layered storytelling, those features help reinforce the idea that the TV is not just a display, but part of the experience itself. 

Big-screen gaming is also about variety

One of the advantages of a 100-inch LG QNED is that it does not serve only one kind of player. Colorful platformers, racing games, cinematic adventures, and expansive RPGs each bring out something different in the set. Some benefit most from Dynamic QNED Color Pro and 100% Color Volume. Others lean into AI Picture Pro, Dolby Vision, or Dolby Atmos. Together, these features help make the 100-inch LG QNED86 a strong fit for players who want more from game night than simply a larger screen. 

For households that want gaming to feel more social, more immersive, and more visually rewarding, the 100-inch LG QNED offers a way to make every title feel bigger in the moments that matter.
