LG has strong absolute emissions reductions in operations and comprehensive waste recycling, but renewable energy penetration remains under 20% despite RE100 membership. Scope 3 targets are intensity-based rather than absolute, masking potential total emissions growth. Water and biodiversity disclosures lack quantified outcomes.
