LG Group chief Koo Kwang-mo begins month-long business reviews across all affiliates

LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo kicked off a review of this year's business performance and next year's plans Monday.

All LG Group affiliates began their business briefings Monday, with each company's CEO and division heads in attendance. The reviews will run for about a month, starting with electronics affiliates — LG Electronics, LG Display and LG Innotek — before moving on to chemicals affiliates including LG Energy Solution and LG Chem, and then telecom and services affiliates such as LG Uplus and LG CNS.

The sessions are expected to cover each affiliate's strategy and execution plans for securing new business opportunities in AI and other future growth areas.

Also on the agenda is advancing ongoing cooperation with global tech giants Nvidia and Microsoft, and mapping out follow-up action plans based on those partnerships.

Earlier this year, LG held three presidents' council meetings to identify and discuss key quarterly priorities as part of efforts to sharpen its business portfolio. The group focused on "AX execution" in March, "Winning R&D" in June and "investment strategy advancement" in September, using each session to assess competitiveness and readiness for the future.

At the September meeting in particular, Koo urged the group's presidents to "move fast and execute with relentless drive so we can win where AI's future is decided."

With the AI era opening new growth opportunities, LG plans to focus on maximizing returns from investment in key areas including AI factories, physical AI and AX.

In addition, LG has moved to expand its collaboration with Microsoft across AI infrastructure broadly, following progress this year in fleshing out cooperation with Nvidia in AI factories, physical AI and mobility.

The group's strategy is to maximize results in core AI battlegrounds by drawing on its "One LG" approach — pooling capabilities across the group to drive synergies among relevant affiliates.
