- First-ever disclosure of climate scenario analysis; sharpens its climate-risk response strategy
- Tangible ESG results at overseas operations, including in Indonesia
LX International (CEO Koo Hyek-Seo) announced on the 30th that it has published its 2026 Sustainability Report.
Now in its 13th edition, the report is part of a series that LX International has issued annually since 2014 to disclose the company’s sustainable management strategies, goals, and performance across the Environmental (E), Social (S), and Governance (G) sectors.
The report presents the eight material issues identified through a materiality assessment, climate change response, biodiversity and ecosystem protection, safety and health, supply chain management, community engagement, ethical management, compliance management, and the board of directors and decision-making system—together with the strategy, key achievements, future management direction, and action plans for each issue.
In particular, this report discloses the results of the company’s “climate scenario analysis” for the first time. Based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), LX International analyzed its climate risks and set out how transition risks and physical risks affect its business, along with its response strategies. Through this, the company has further strengthened its capacity to respond to global sustainability disclosure standards.
The company also recognized the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem protection and laid the groundwork for a natural capital management system in line with the assessment methodology of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). In addition, by conducting a human rights impact assessment and establishing a human rights management policy, LX International built a foundation for systematically reviewing and improving human rights risks across its entire business.
In his message, LX International CEO Koo Hyek-Seo emphasized, “Sustainability issues—responding to the climate crisis, conserving biodiversity, and respecting human rights—have now become a core competitive strength that determines a company’s survival and growth,” adding, “Responsible management that takes the resilience of natural capital into account is an imperative of our time that we must put into practice.”
LX International is generating tangible results by strengthening ESG management at its overseas business sites. The environmental rehabilitation project at the Rapu-Rapu copper mine in the Philippines became the first by a Korean company to obtain official certification from the Philippine government, earning recognition as an exemplary case of responsible resource development. In addition, the hydropower project the company operates in Indonesia was approved as a carbon reduction project under Article 6.4 of the UN Paris Agreement, establishing a basis for LX International to monetize the carbon credits it secures overseas in both domestic and international markets.
A company official said, “We will continue to advance our ESG management and proactively respond to global sustainability disclosure standards,” adding, “Going forward, we plan to transparently disclose our sustainable management performance and implementation process to stakeholders every year.” (End)
