“LG Electronics is a strong advocate of a responsible environmental stewardship and has established a track record of producing eco-friendly appliances, air conditioners and other products designed to help users reduce energy consumption.

To help reduce hazardous substances such as heavy metals and chemicals in its products, the company has committed itself fully in promoting that.

Managing Director, LG Electronics West Africa operations, Mr. Taeick Son, said: “We in LG are fully committed to having more of greenhouse products to protect the environment from hazardous impact which could spell doom for mankind. We have deliberately adopted it as a policy which means, at every strata of production, we are conscious of the fact that the environment must be kept safe for all to live in and that is what LG Electronics stands for.” 

Recently, LG did not only commit itself to offering the most user-efficient products but also to improving the wellbeing of its consumers and their shared environment.
