All affiliates of LG Group announced that they have been implementing a five-day vehicle rotation system for all domestic business sites starting on the 6th.
An LG Group official said, "We are expanding the ten-day vehicle rotation system implemented on the 27th of last month to a five-day system," noting it is a measure to overcome the energy crisis caused by the prolonged Middle East war and persistently high oil prices. However, eco-friendly vehicles such as electric cars, as well as vehicles carrying people with disabilities, pregnant women, and preschool children, are exempt from the five-day system.
LG Group has already been preventing unnecessary power waste by applying an automatic lights-off system at business sites, including LG Twin Towers in Yeouido, Seoul, where office lights automatically turn off at lunchtime and after a certain time in the evening. It also operates shuttle buses on major commute routes to support convenient commuting for employees while encouraging them to refrain from using private cars.
LG Electronics has established a real-time energy-use monitoring system at all business sites to streamline energy consumption. At LG Smart Park in Changwon, South Gyeongsang, it is expanding the use of renewable energy through solar power facilities installed on the roof of the integrated production building, and members are continuously running everyday energy-saving campaigns such as office lights-off checks and switching off switches.
LG Display is operating an executive-led council to invigorate companywide energy-saving activities and is checking progress on energy-saving tasks. In addition, to cope with rising expenses due to higher electricity and gas rates, it has operated a companywide TDR (Tear Down and Redesign) organization since 2024 to monitor energy-use efficiency at business sites and to identify companywide energy-saving tasks.
Representative examples include optimizing energy use of production equipment according to changes in logistics and minimizing standby power, and using big data to optimize the efficiency of utility manufacturing equipment. It is also optimizing equipment operations based on artificial intelligence (AI), such as smart control for chillers, and is promoting energy-saving activities by collaborating with relevant experts to optimize energy use by equipment. LG CNS is also continuing efforts to save energy by replacing equipment parts with more energy-efficient ones.
An LG Group official said, "At the level of all affiliates of LG Group, we will continue to review and implement additional measures to reduce energy and make savings habitual, and we plan to keep in step with the government's energy-saving policy."
