  • Increased investment in R&D by 33% from the previous year to strengthen the competitiveness of future business

SEOUL, South Korea, July 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — LG Innotek (CEO Jeong Cheol-dong) announced on the 21st that it had published the ‘2022-2023 Sustainability Report’ that covers the performance of ESG (Environmental·Social·Governance) management.

LG Innotek achieved meaningful results previous year by performing substantial ESG management activities to enhance corporate value.

In the environmental field, LG Innotek joined ‘RE100’ and decided to use renewable electricity in all workplaces by 2030. At the same time, LG Innotek declared that it would achieve 100% Carbon Neutrality by 2040. LG Innotek also joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to systematically carry out carbon neutrality activities.

LG Innotek has already achieved the goal quickly by recording the renewable electricity conversion rate of 22% (RE22) and carbon neutrality rate of 20%.

In 2022, LG Innotek received the ‘Minister Prize from the Ministry of Environment’ as the leading company in resource circulation in recognition of its efforts for resource circulation, such as the development of a waste management system, reusing process subsidiary materials, and reducing the use of plastic packaging materials.

Besides, Gumi, Pyeongtaek, and Gwangju plant of LG Innotek have obtained the ‘ZWTL (Zero Waste to Landfill)’ certification from UL(Underwriters Laboratories) Solutions, a global safety certification body. In particular, the Pyeongtaek plant acquired the highest grade ‘Platinum’ last year by achieving 100% resource circulation following the Gumi plant.

In the social field, there is noteworthy in this Sustainability Report that employees participated a lot of social contribution activities. Since the company’s online social contribution portal had launched in 2022, more than 3,000 employees have actively participated in various forms of social contribution activities, such as online donation funding and non-face-to-face volunteering.

LG Innotek was selected as the most excellent company for 6 consecutive years in the Win-Win Growth Index operated by Korea Commission for Corporate partnership.

Furthermore, LG Innotek received Grand Prize from the Great Place to Work in Korea Award in recognition of its excellent corporate culture.

In the field of governance, LG Innotek has focused on creating a transparent and sound business environment. As a result, LG Innotek received ISO 37301 (Compliance Management System) certification, Excellent Anti-corruption Company at the Business Integrity Society Summit (BIS) hosted by United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) Korea, and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management System) certification last year.

LG Innotek has also strengthened shareholder-friendly policies. In 2022, LG Innotek paid a total of KRW 98.2 billion as a dividend per share, which is a significant increase from the previous year (KRW 71 billion). As a result, LG Innotek successfully implemented its dividend policy of maintaining a dividend payout ratio of 10% or more until 2024.

In addition to ESG management, the Sustainability Report highlights LG Innotek’s various efforts to secure the competitiveness of future business.

LG Innotek invested KRW 752.8 billion in R&D last year to advance original technology and identify new value-added businesses in future growth areas. The amount had a 33% increase from 2021 (KRW 564.2 billion). During the same period, LG Innotek also expanded industry-university collaboration significantly by doubling the number of industry-university projects.

“LG Innotek will continue ESG management faithfully as ‘Global No.1 Material and Component Company’ that provides differentiated customer value.” said CEO Jeong Cheol-dong.

ShibaSwap, the decentralized exchange (DEX) affiliated with the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has announced a significant upgrade by migrating to the Shibarium blockchain. This move is expected to introduce a range of new utilities for users, as stated in a recent press release.

The upgrade includes features such as a revamped dashboard, enhanced user experience, discovery charts for trending tokens, and an improved process for onboarding new tokens onto the DEX.

Lead developer Shytoshi Kusama expressed enthusiasm for the upgrade, highlighting its potential to empower DEFI innovators and facilitate community token interaction on Shibarium. Kusama also invited the community to explore the new swap and encouraged existing Shibarium tokens to transition to the platform seamlessly, while assuring that further updates are in the pipeline.

A portion of transaction fees will be utilized to enhance liquidity pool (LP) value in swap transactions, benefiting users and the yield farming community, according to the press release.

The upgrade rollout will prioritize enhancing discovery and can be expected to include more regular updates and upgrades, as noted by fellow developer and contributor Kaal.

The upgrade aims to minimize gas fees and ensure faster transactions, in addition to supporting various segments of the Shiba Inu Ecosystem, including $SHIB and $LEASH tokens, SHEboshis DN-404 tokens, SHIB The Metaverse, ShibaSwap DEX, and the Shiba Eternity game.

Shibarium’s layer 2 mainnet, launched in August 2023, saw the creation of 21 million wallets and was trialed by millions of users. It introduced a new consensus mechanism called proof-of-participation (PoP), which selects validators based on their holdings of the associated cryptocurrency.

As of the latest data, the price of SHIB stands at $0.0002548, reflecting an almost 7% increase in the last 24 hours, with SHIB being the 11th largest in terms of market cap, according to CoinMarketCap.
