In its 2015 Sustainability Yearbook, RobecoSAM has honoured LG with the Gold Medal designation in ‘leisure and consumer electronics’ category. RobecoSAM, which also works with S&P Dow Jones Indices to publish the globally recognized Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, named LG as one of only a handful of companies to be both a ‘sustainability leader’ and a ‘sustainability mover’ in the 2015 Sustainability Yearbook.

‘LG believes that forward-thinking companies that adapt positively to a sustainable business agenda will be tomorrow’s leaders. We believe strongly in leaving as small an environment footprint as possible as we continue to develop lifestyle solutions for consumers and the residents of the communities in which we operate. We are honoured to receive this recognition for our efforts,’ reads the statement from Soon Kwon, managing director, LG Electronics India, in the company’s media release.
