About Lg Group

LG Group, known as LG Corporation, is a South Korean multinational conglomerate that stands out in various global industries. It was established in 1947 and initially ventured into the plastics industry, becoming the first South Korean company to do so. The conglomerate's growth trajectory continued with the creation of GoldStar Co. Ltd., which later evolved into LG Electronics, marking its foray into the consumer electronics market.

With time, LG has branched out into numerous sectors, offering a broad spectrum of products and services, including electronics, chemicals, telecommunications, and home appliances. It operates through subsidiaries like LG Electronics, LG Display, LG Uplus, LG Innotek, LG Chem, and LG Energy Solution, with a presence in over 80 countries.

The company's core philosophy centers on people, sincerity, and sticking to a path of innovation. LG is committed to understanding customer needs, delivering optimal solutions, and fostering new experiences through ongoing innovation, all with the goal of enhancing the quality of life for its customers.

Throughout its history, LG has undergone several transformations, including a significant rebranding from Lucky-Goldstar to LG in 1995. This change was accompanied by the new tagline "Life's Good," reflecting the company's dedication to improving customer lifestyles through high-quality products and services.

LG has also made its mark in specialized sectors such as air conditioning, where it ranks as the third-largest company globally, and in business solutions, which include solar energy and security offerings since 2008. The company's commitment to innovation is showcased across its diverse range of products, from mobile phones and IT products to home appliances and advanced chemical compounds.

In terms of governance, LG has led the way in enhancing corporate transparency and management practices in South Korea. The company's leadership has traditionally been held by members of the founding Koo family, with the current chairman and CEO being a family descendant.

LG's influence in the global market is significant, boasting substantial revenue and employing tens of thousands of people worldwide. The company continues to be a major force in the electronics and chemical industries, propelled by its unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
