LG Electronics has been named to the 'Forbes Accessibility 200' selected by the U.S. business magazine Forbes. The selection is attributed to the company's expanded efforts to improve accessibility, ranging from product design and consultation to store usage and customer-participatory communities.

LG Electronics was recently selected as an accessibility innovation company in the 'Forbes Accessibility 200' list announced by Forbes. Since last year, Forbes has been selecting and publishing this list of global companies, organizations, and individuals that have contributed to improving accessibility for people with disabilities.

LG Electronics has been pursuing a "Design for All" strategy under its global ESG vision, "A Better Life for All." Viewing accessibility not as a specific feature but as an element to be reflected across product development and customer touchpoints, the company has expanded related activities.

A representative example is the kiosk unveiled at 'CSUN AT 2026', the world's largest accessibility conference, earlier this year. This product incorporates Braille panels, sign language guidance, and screen reader functions, and adds a height adjustment feature to consider the usability of customers with disabilities and wheelchair users.

The AI home hub 'LG ThinQ ON' is also cited as an example of expanded accessibility. IoT sensors connected to ThinQ ON can deliver notifications such as door opening, motion detection, and power monitoring via lighting signals instead of sound, taking into consideration the user environment for the hearing impaired.

The 'LG Comfort Kit,' designed to assist with home appliance use, consists of a total of 18 items, including dishwasher handle supports, detergent cups, and water purifier drip trays. It is a product line designed for diverse usage environments, including not only people with disabilities and the elderly but also customers with young children.

Activities to improve accessibility are also continuing in the service sector. Domestically, the company operates the "Best Accompaniment Care Service," where a dedicated manager assists customers with mobility issues throughout the entire process, from parking to product testing, and also provides a dedicated consultation service for sign language users.

LG Electronics operates home appliance user manuals featuring text and illustrations that are easy for children and teenagers to understand, as well as a 'Home Appliance School One-Day Class.' In addition, through 'Bold Move,' a community that listens to the opinions of customers with disabilities and the elderly, the company collects inconveniences and improvement ideas arising from the use of products and services.
