Supplier Support

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, we conduct thorough inspections and continuous improvements to ensure that both our own domestic and international worksites, as well as those of our suppliers, operate in accordance with the RBA assessment methodology and customer ESG requirements. In addition, we support a range of ESG capacity-building programs for our suppliers. Going forward, we will continue to reinforce sustainability across the supply chain by advancing our supply chain management policies and assessment systems.

LGD ESG Management Policy

LG Display established the ESG Supply Chain Code of Conduct to establish a safe working environment at its domestic and overseas worksites for product manufacturing as well as those of its suppliers, respect its employees, and fulfill its responsibilities as an environmentally friendly and ethical company.

Major Categories of LG Display ESG Supplier Code of Conduct

LG Display has established the ESG Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure that its domestic and overseas operations and all suppliers associated with product manufacturing provide safe working environments, treat workers with dignity and respect, and conduct business in an environmentally responsible and ethical manner. This policy is available on our website, where the ESG Supplier Code of Conduct and related standards are publicly disclosed.

New Supplier Selection

Suppliers can submit proposals to LG Display through the LG Display Supplier Portal (scs.lgdisplay.com). We review the proposals, feasibility, supply capabilities, management policies, and register potential suppliers if they are eligible to participate in development. Potential suppliers are registered as new suppliers after undergoing due diligence by specialized departments in areas such as purchasing, quality, safety, environment, AEO (Authorized Economic Operator), conflict minerals, ESG, and security. In addition, to minimize ESG risks in the supply chain and realize ESG management, we have been conducting ESG assessments when registering new suppliers since 2022.
