LG Electronics Inc. has been named 2024 Energy Star Partner of the Year and Sustained Excellence by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE).
The Energy Star Awards is the US government-backed symbol for energy efficiency, providing simple, credible, and unbiased information that consumers and businesses rely on to make well-informed decisions since 1992.
This marks the 11th time since 2012 that LG has been named Partner of the Year.
The Partner of the Year-Sustained Excellence is bestowed upon companies that have been selected as Partner of the Year more than twice and have demonstrated outstanding contributions to environmental protection and energy savings.
According to the company, American consumers purchased 15,000 Energy Star certified LG products daily in 2023.
Over their product life, these millions of Energy Star certified LG products will mean estimated CO2 reductions of more than 5.6 million tons – equivalent to removing the greenhouse gas emissions of more than 1 million cars for an entire year.
LG Electronics reported that its Energy Star certified washers and dishwashers sold last year could save more than 360 gallons of water over their lifetime, enough to fill 73,000 Olympic-size swimming pools.
