LG 2024 OLED evo TVs receive eco-friendly certification

For the 4th consecutive year

LG OLED Evo

For the fourth consecutive year, LG’s OLED TVs have been recognized for their eco-friendliness. LG’s 2024 OLED evo TVs recently received Reducing CO2 and Measured CO2 certifications from the Carbon Trust and Environmentally Evaluated Mark from SGS. Moreover, for the second straight time, LG’s newest OLED TVs have earned Recycled Content certification from Intertek.

The Carbon Trust works to achieve a zero carbon emission future by assessing the environmental impact of a product’s entire life cycle. On the other hand, SGS certification focuses on resource efficiency and the presence of hazardous substances in products. Lastly, Intertek measures the percentage of recycled materials used.

Notably, the self-lit nature of LG’s OLED TVs garnered significant attention among the evaluators’ stringent sustainability standards. Unlike LCD TVs, LG’s OLED TVs do not require a backlight. This means a simpler structure and fewer necessary components.

For instance, the 65-inch OLED evo is made of ultra-light composite fiber. It requires only 40% of the plastic typically used in an LCD TV of the same screen size. It also weighs 20% less. Recycled plastic accounts for about 20% of the total plastic used in the manufacturing of LG TVs.

Based on LG’s estimated sales for their OLED TVs, the total amount of plastic used for models sold from 2022 to 2024 will be 45,000 tons lower than that of LCD TVs sold during the same period. That difference is equivalent to about 234,000 tons less carbon emissions.

Aside from eco-friendly marks, LG’s initiatives have also received praise from reputable organizations. The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI) World also cited the company for the 12th straight year. DJSI World ranks the top 10% of the 2,500 largest global companies based on their long-term economic, environmental, social and governance practices.

Furthermore, LG has also received a Comprehensive A grade from the ESG Evaluation and Rating Announcement of Korea ESG Standards Institute. Last year, the company also earned its fourth back-to-back A rating from the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) ESG Rating.
