LG Uplus Corp. announced it will recycle 100% of industrial waste from its plants by 2025.
The mobile network arm of LG Corp. published a report titled “2021 Report on Sustainability” on Sunday, which detailed the company’s sustainability goal and the progress in environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) last year.
Worth noting in the report is the step-by-step plan of action for reducing carbon emissions.
LG Uplus plans to install environmentally-friendly rectifiers and open-air cooling systems as part of its pledge to reduce carbon emissions by 38% by next year, compared to last year.
The LG subsidiary also plans to fully transition to renewable energy by 2050.
By 2025, it plans to fully recycle all industrial waste such as used wire and signal equipment.
LG Uplus chose an eco-friendly processing firm last year and reached a 98.5% recycling rate by adopting the recommended strategies such as “smart recycling bins.”
In social governance, the increased rate of satisfaction among clients and employees was the company’s main achievement.
