To demonstrate the environmental credentials of its products, LG partnered with the Carbon Trust to obtain independent assurance of the full life cycle greenhouse gas and water use impacts for some of the company’s major product lines. LG also chose to use the Carbon Trust’s footprint label to communicate these results to its customers.

The Carbon Trust has worked with LG over a number of years to verify the carbon footprint of multiple product models, including air purifiers, water purifiers, steam closets, vacuum cleaners, and dishwashers. LG also became the first company in the world to receive product water footprint verification from the Carbon Trust, for one of its water purifier models.
