LG Chem creates social value through Green Connector ESG activities
LG Chem is focusing on its social contributions to create a healthier society as part of the company’s environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-driven principles, according to the company Friday.In August 2020, LG Chem announced Green Connector, its social contribution vision to help promote impactful projects that meet societal demands, with a focus on responding to environmental and climate change issues.Through this vision, the company plans to maximize social and environmental value by concentrating on four key areas: education, ecosystem, economy and energy.The company is conducting an online social education activity called Like Green, an ESG leadership training program that encourages environmental protection in daily life and aims to sustain a healthy environment.”Like Green consists of two programs, Green Festival and Green Class. The Green Festival is a public program that helps citizens easily understand environmental, scientific and social issues, and further encourages them to participate in forming a proper ESG culture,” the company said.
