As communicated by LG, unionized workers at the company in South Korea have been conferred special consultative status by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC) for their efforts to prioritize ESG in the workplace. “We are of course extremely proud of the recognition bestowed upon us by the UN for our efforts to fulfill our responsibilities to our members, society and the environment – said Bae Sang-ho, the head of LG Electronics’ Union -. We are committed to leveraging this honor to encourage other unions to expand their own USR (union social responsibility) activities”.
