United States. LG Electronics has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the Partner of the Year-Sustained Excellence Award Energy Star for its efforts in protecting the environment through energy-efficient appliances and consumer electronics products.
"Environmental sustainability is a fundamental business principle at LG. We are proud of our long-standing partnership with Energy Star and our positive environmental impact in the United States," said William Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics North America. "LG is helping American consumers experience 'Innovation for a Better Life' by creating products that deliver energy savings to help save money and the planet without sacrificing performance or style."
EPA Assistant Administrator William Wehrum applauded LG for its achievements. "By maintaining its Energy Star commitment, LG continues to lead the way for others, demonstrating that when you save energy, financial value accrues across the board. LG is part of a distinguished group that has made a long-term commitment to improving public health and protecting the environment by eliminating energy waste and associated pollution," he said.
Recognized for the first time as Energy Star Partner of the Year in 2012, LG is committed to developing the most innovative and energy-efficient products that deliver superior performance to consumers and reduce the impact on the planet, explained Cho, who was previously named by CR Magazine as CEO responsible for the year, largely due to its leadership in energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
