ESG Management in the Supply Chain

As a global company, LG Display joined the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) in 2021 to systematically manage ESG risks across its entire supply chain and is committed to creating sustainable value in collaboration with diverse stakeholders, including customers and suppliers. Acknowledging the critical importance of sustainable supply chain management, the company conducts thorough inspections and continuous improvements to ensure that both its own domestic and international worksites, as well as those of its suppliers, operate in accordance with the RBA assessment methodology and customer ESG requirements. In addition, LG Display supports a range of ESG capacity-building programs for its partners. Going forward, we will continue to reinforce sustainability across the supply chain by advancing its supply chain management policies and evaluation systems.
