SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 22, 2025 — LG Energy Solution debuted on Corporate Knights’ 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World 2025 list, securing the 12th position overall and the top spot among battery manufacturers.

Corporate Knights’ Global 100 is a yearly sustainability ranking of the world’s most sustainable companies with annual revenues exceeding 1 billion USD. This year’s evaluation assessed 8,359 companies based on 25 key performance indicators covering sustainable revenue, sustainable investment, resource management, employee management, financial management, and supplier performance. Inclusion on this list is widely regarded as a hallmark of exceptional ESG management.

LG Energy Solution’s outstanding performance in sustainable revenue and sustainable investment KPIs led to its inclusion in the Global 100, fulfilling key ESG criteria for investors. The company achieved top marks in both areas, reflecting its focus on providing sustainable energy solutions and significant investments in future growth.

Corporate Knights also gave LG Energy Solution high marks for energy productivity and GHG productivity, among other factors.

LG Energy Solution is dedicated to enhancing its ESG standards and practices, demonstrating its leadership in the industry. The company has recently prepared for stricter global regulations and ESG disclosure requirements. Even before new international battery regulations, such as mandatory carbon footprint disclosure and battery passports, LG Energy Solution adopted Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in 2019 to assess product impacts and communicate transparently with stakeholders. LG Energy Solution aims for accurate and credible LCA through third-party verification and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certifications, continuously expanding the product range covered by LCA and EPD. In 2024, LCA covered battery cells representing 83% of total capacity, and EPD certified battery cells representing 60% of total capacity.

Moreover, the company made significant strides in social footprint management, reducing potential human rights impacts through a due diligence process to identify, prevent, mitigate, and address such issues. Improving its ESG governance, LG Energy Solution is committed to effectively managing emerging challenges and cultivating an ESG-driven work environment.

Beyond its own ESG management, the company is working to create a sustainable battery ecosystem across its entire value chain by actively supporting, engaging, and collaborating with its supply chain partners. Building on years of ESG risk assessment and management in its Tier 1 suppliers, the company expanded these efforts in 2024, creating an IT management system connecting Tier-N suppliers for improved traceability and transparency. It plans to gradually expand supply chain risk assessment, focusing on core raw material supply chains for critical regulatory compliance. To maintain transparency, LG Energy Solution published its ‘Supply Chain Sustainability Report’ this month, detailing its supply chain management system, strategies, and achievements.

“We are honored that Corporate Knights has recognized our leadership in sustainability and ESG practices, naming us one of the world’s most sustainable companies,” said David Kim, CEO of LG Energy Solution. “We are fully committed to realizing our vision of leading the future green energy era with innovation in electrification for a sustainable battery ecosystem.”

“As one of the world’s largest battery manufacturers, LG Energy Solution is at the centre of what enables the transition to a net-zero economy. The company’s inclusion in the 2025 Global 100 is a testament to its global leadership,” said Toby Heaps, CEO of Corporate Knights.
