LG 2014-2015 LG ELG전자lectronics 지속가능경영보고서 Sustainability Report 2014-2015 LG ELECTRONICS SUSTAINABILITY REPORT REPORT OVERVIEW LIFE’s Good with LG REPORT OVERVIEW In preparing our 2014-2015 Sustainability Report, LG Electronics adopted the G4 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). As part of the new process for implementing the latest edition of the guidelines, we reviewed the previous year’s edition and best practice cases from corporations at home and abroad against the latest indices to identify the aspects that are lacking in our report. In order to address these aspects and prepare a more comprehensive and insightful report, we had extensive communication with business departments, focusing primarily on our strengths and weaknesses. We also reached out to our internal and ex- ternal stakeholders through a wide range of communication programs to seek their opinions, and performed a materiality analysis to identify the information that is considered material to stakeholders as well as to LG Electronics. Based on the findings, we tried to introduce information concerning “Material Aspects” as defined by the G4 guidelines. Externally, we worked with a third party assurer to review the analysis results against the aspects perceived as material to indus- Everyone at LG Electronics strives to try peers to verify what is missing from each other’s list (and vice versa), while create the very best value for cus- internally reviewing the results with related business departments to select and tomers, values that bring excitement introduce the information that is material and useful both to LG Electronics and our stakeholders.

In a rapidly changing business environment, we cannot afford to remain still; we have to constantly think about ways to achieve growth and advance our businesses. At the same time, we have to always remember that our customers are the absolute and enduring standard that drives our thinking, inspires our actions, and pushes us forward, as we focus on creating positive impact on the world. Throughout this process, we always take “Jeong-do Management” as our guiding principle, because strict compliance with the law and standards is both the starting point and ultimate goal of our efforts to become a truly global corporation. Please tell us about LG Electronics’ achievements in sustainability management in 2014. In 2014, we made organization-wide efforts to build and strengthen fundamentals, the very foundation for sustainable and enduring growth. As a result, the strength of our organization is improving, and we are thoroughly preparing to secure opportunities in our future businesses. In addition, both our employees and management are carefully identifying actions and practices required for sustainable management and putting them into practice. We are also defining practices that we need to adopt in conducting business, while directing our interest and energy towards issues that affect both individuals and societies to fulfill our responsibility as a corporate citizen. I am convinced that all of these efforts will come together and help us establish sustainability management as our core strength. What is the direction of LG Electronics’ sustainability management? I strongly believe that first and foremost, corporations must focus on the primary purpose of doing business in order to contribute to society as well as to achieve sustained growth. To this end, it is important for corporations to identify changes both in customers and global trends, to think and prepare in advance, and to execute measures that respond to these changes in a careful and thorough manner. The business landscape around us is shifting constantly and becoming more complex with diverse and intertwined interests creating uncertainties. In order to overcome such challenges and achieve growth, we need to draw on strengths not only from within our organization but also from the outside world, creating synergy greater than the simple sum of our own strengths. In order to further strengthen our capabilities for sustainable management, LG Electronics will actively engage with stakeholders for their valuable opinions, while sharing our market intelligence and customer insight obtained directly from the frontline of business operations. I would like to respectfully ask all of our stakeholders and partners to continue to encourage us and support us in our endeavors. Thank you.

    The New Cambridge Medieval History The fourth volume of The New Cambridge Medieval History covers the eleventh and twelfth centuries, which comprised perhaps the most dynamic period in the European middle ages. This is a history of Europe, but the continent is interpreted widely to include the Near East and North Africa as well. The volume is divided into two Parts of which this, the second, deals with the course of events, ecclesiastical and secular, and major developments in an age marked by the transformation of the position of the papacy in a process fuelled by a radical reformation of the church, the decline of the western and eastern empires, the rise of western kingdoms and Italian elites, and the development of governmental structures, the beginnings of the recovery of Spain from the Moors and the establishment of western settlements in the eastern Mediterranean region in the wake of the crusades.

  • Quando Si Pensa Alle Campagne Militari Condotte Sotto Marco Aurelio
    ADVERSUS REBELLES. FORME DI RIBELLIONE E DI REAZIONE ROMANA NELLE SPAGNE E IN ASIA MINORE AL TEMPO DI MARCO AURELIO* Alister Filippini · Gian Luca Gregori Premessa uando si pensa alle campagne militari condotte sotto Marco Aurelio, inevi- Qtabilmente la mente va alle tre spedizioni germaniche condotte dal principe dapprima con Lucio Vero (expeditio Germanica prima, 168-169), poi come unico imperatore (bellum Germanicum et Sarmaticum, 169-175) ed infine con Com- modo, dopo la rivolta di Avidio Cassio e l’associazione del figlio al potere (expedi- tio Germanica secunda, 178-180). In realtà la prolungata situazione di crisi militare sul fronte danubiano determinò un più generale scompaginamento del sistema ‘ordinario’ di governo, amministrativo e militare, delle province. Per riempire i vuoti dei molti comandanti e governatori provinciali di rango se- natorio caduti in quegli anni (il legato imperiale M. Claudius Fronto, morto nel 170, è forse il caso più noto), si fece appello anche ai migliori tra gli ufficiali equestri, conferendo loro incarichi militari straordinari e permettendo che assumessero ruoli e funzioni che in condizioni normali non sarebbero spettati loro. Marco Aurelio si trovò costretto dalla tragica necessità di quegli anni a ridisegnare (al- meno temporaneamente) la ‘geopolitica’ delle province, rivedendo la divisione tra senatorie ed imperiali (ma pure tra province di rango pretorio e consolare) e ricorrendo anche a soluzioni straordinarie (accorpamenti di province, corretto- rati senatorii, procuratele equestri abbinate ad incarichi militari). Non è un caso che in quegli anni cavalieri dalle comprovate capacità militari ascesero ai vertici della carriera equestre (M. Macrinius Vindex, M. Bassaeus Rufus, P.

  • Map 52 Byzantium Compiled by C
    Map 52 Byzantium Compiled by C. Foss, 1997 Introduction Map 52 Byzantium Map 53 Bosphorus Map 52 encompasses two very different regions, Thrace and Bithynia, together with the northern coast of Mysia. Thrace, now European Turkey, is open, rolling country with few prominent features. In classical times, its population was mainly tribal, and it never had any great density of settlement. It has also attracted relatively little research and remains largely unknown, not least because considerable areas have been military zones. The coast of the Propontis, however, was the home of Greek colonies whose names are already attested in the Athenian tribute lists of the fifth century B.C. It also became the site of the greatest city of the East, Constantinople, which dwarfed all the others in Late Antiquity (see below). Bithynia is entirely different. Its coastal regions, with the lakes behind them, are part of the Mediterranean zone. Throughout antiquity, the rich vegetation here supported dense settlement and continuous occupation. Behind, there is broken country with mountains that culminate in the Mysian Olympus; the eastern part is watered by the mighty R. Sangarius. Interior Bithynia was settled only in the Hellenistic period; it flourished in Roman times, when Nicomedia amd Nicaea were rival metropolitan centers. The regions of these two cities have been illuminated by the explorations and publications of Dörner and Şahin, and a broad district around Cyzicus by Hasluck. Much of the rest awaits systematic survey. Map 53 focuses on the area of transition between the extremities of these two regions, centered on the long narrow channel of the Thracian Bosphorus.
