Supplier ESG Assessment and On-site Review

LG Innotek’s suppliers perform the annual ‘ESG self-assessments’, as part of our efforts to improve the sustainable competitiveness of our suppliers. The suppliers are recommended to perform self-initiated assessments and make improvements on their operational status in the areas of labor & human rights, ethics, health & safety, and the environment. This comes in tandem with continued support by way of on- site visits and relevant consulting in order to extend the scope of our ESG risk management along the entire supply chain.

Responsible Sourcing

LG Innotek is proactively joining hands with the global community to ban the use of any unethically mined tantalum (Ta), tin (Sn), tungsten (W), or gold (Au) within the 10 covered countries including the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa and its adjoining countries. The company have established our conflict mineral policy and relevant management standards and procedures while examining suppliers who use these minerals as well as the smelters and refiners in the supply chain by using the CMRT (Conflict Minerals Reporting Template). We also assist suppliers to source minerals used for products from smelters and refiners fully conformant with the RMAP (Responsible Minerals Assurance Process).
In keeping pace with the expanded scope of conflict minerals, we also manage the use of cobalt and mica in addition to the 3TG. Going forward, we will keep a close eye on the related trends through various communication channels including customers, professional institutes, and consultative bodies of subsidiaries, and continue cooperating with our suppliers for regulatory compliance.

With the training programs on Jeong-Do Management and compliance management, the company emphasizes the importance of integrity in business prohibition of illicit gains, and compliance with fair trade regulations so that our suppliers contribute to the civility of our society as an ethical company.
In the environmental sector, the company shares global regulatory trends, along with any incidents that occurred concerning environmentally harmful substances that go into components and conflict minerals, while presenting appropriate responses to these issues. Our Green Program is underway to promote the green growth of suppliers and grant certificates by evaluating suppliers for their fulfillment of environmental management system requirements.
