LG Electronics announced that it will start purchasing more parts and supplies from its 1,500 top vendors in terms of energy consumption, as part of a corporate campaign to reduce greenhouse gases to accelerate eco-friendly growth.

This year, LG Electronics worldwide plants caused about 1.4 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. It has however discovered that the 12 million tonne carbon footprint of its vendors was about eight times as high as its own.

This led to its LGE Green Program Plus campaign, which will see 200 vendors first selected before the year is out to make sure they set goals for carbon reduction, and deliver on their pledges.

The electronics company and world’s third largest phonemaker said it will purchase 50 trillion won ($57.3 billion) or more worth of parts from vendors who have set up carbon reduction goals by 2020.
