LG’S INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS SUPPORT ‘BETTER LIFE FOR ALL’ ON EARTH DAY AND BEYOND

Collaborative solutions and community engagement take center stage in LG Electronics’ Earth Day initiatives

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics celebrated Earth Day 2025 with impactful community initiatives across North America. At the core of this year’s Earth Day initiatives, supporting the company’s “Better Life for All” vision, were activations bringing together employees, partners and local communities. Beyond e-waste recycling drives in five states and a New York Times Square digital experience, LG employees actively contributed by building nesting boxes for local wildlife and planting trees on LG campuses, reinforcing the company’s vision of driving positive change.

To combat electronic waste and raise awareness about responsible technology disposal, LG hosted community-wide e-waste drives at its campuses in Englewood Cliffs, N.J.; Huntsville, Ala.; Clarksville, Tenn.; Lincolnshire, Ill.; Santa Clara, Calif.; and Toronto, Canada, collecting and routing more than 3,500 pounds of outdated electronics for responsible recycling in partnership with LG’s e-waste provider, ERI, the nation’s largest recycler of e-waste. Part of LG’s broader global circularity initiative, these electronics recycling events underscore LG’s commitment to driving progress towards smarter waste solutions; during the month of April, over 3.7 million pounds of e-waste has been recycled through ERI. Through its nationwide, year-round electronics take-back program, LG aims to collect and responsibly recycle more than 50 million pounds of e-waste in 2025.

As part of its ongoing partnership with the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), LG employees across the country built nesting boxes designed to provide safe spaces for wildlife to raise their young, promote biodiversity and contribute to healthier ecosystems. At LG’s LEED Platinum-certified headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., local team members enhanced the local biodiversity by planting 100 native plants across the campus, showing how innovation can improve natural integration in corporate spaces. In Canada, the LG team hosted its e-waste drive in partnership with Centennial College and Quantum Lifecycle Partners LP at the Centennial Downsview Campus; over 150 students participated.

“Technology has the power to shape a better future, and at LG, we know it is our responsibility to help create a ‘Better Life for All’,” said LG Electronics North America President & CEO Chris Jung. “Earth Day gives us an opportunity to show how technology, when paired with collaboration, can help tackle some of today’s biggest challenges, from resource efficiency to wildlife rehabilitation. LG is always looking for new ways to use our people and technology to create positive change, not just on Earth Day, but year ’round.”

Beyond community events, LG leveraged its tech platforms to inspire action on a broader scale. In May, LG will continue its Endangered Species Awareness Series on its iconic Times Square billboard, featuring a high-definition, 3D animated campaign spotlighting the West Indian Manatee. The visually stunning display, developed in partnership with the NWF, combines digital storytelling and immersive visuals to connect millions of people with critical conservation messages in an engaging format. LG has pledged $165,000 to-date to the NWF to support initiatives that protect wildlife and wild places.

“LG’s commitment to conservation is inspiring, and its efforts to support biodiversity and raise awareness about vulnerable and endangered species demonstrate the power of collaboration in protecting our planet,” said Carey Stanton, Head of Innovation and Partnerships for National Wildlife Federation. “By combining direct action with large-scale initiatives, LG is setting an example for how companies can make a meaningful impact.”

These efforts also complement LG’s partnership with NBC’s The Americas, a 10-part nature documentary airing Sundays on NBC and streaming on Peacock. The series showcases the breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary wildlife of North and South America, emphasizing the importance of preserving these ecosystems for future generations. The partnership directly aligns with LG’s goal to foster curiosity and appreciation through innovation in content and delivery.

Also commemorating Earth Day, LG participated in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Make Your Energy Choices Count” campaign. Now through May 17, LG is offering promotions on ENERGY STAR® certified appliances through retailers nationwide and LG.com, making high-efficiency, tech-enhanced solutions more accessible to households nationwide.

Perceptive eClinical Launches Technology-Enabled Clinical Supply Consultancy in Alliance with Trialzen

Published

Expert-led clinical supply strategy powered by advanced planning and analytics technologies.

NOTTINGHAM, England and LASNE, Belgium, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Perceptive eClinical, a leading provider of interactive response technology (IRT) and eClinical solutions, and Trialzen, an expert-led Forecasting and Supply Technology company, today announced an alliance supporting Perceptive eClinical in the launch of its Clinical Intelligence Consultancy Service, Perceptive Clinical Intelligence. This transforms its long–standing clinical supply expertise into a fully integrated, expert–led service spanning the entire clinical trial lifecycle and enabled by Trialzen’s advanced clinical supply planning technologies.

Perceptive Clinical Intelligence combines Perceptive’s deep expertise in randomization and clinical supply optimization with data-driven, technology enabled mathematical optimization, simulation, and forecasting to support smarter planning across the trial lifecycle. This integrated offering helps sponsors design, stress test, and manage clinical supply strategies with greater confidence and operational control. By formalizing its in-house expertise and therapeutic experience, Perceptive unifies randomization, trial supply management technologies and clinical supply consulting to enable more informed, scalable, and lower risk supply decision making.

“Clinical trial supply decisions are too critical to rely on tools alone,” said Malcolm Morrissey, Head of Perceptive Clinical Intelligence. “While supply discussions often focus on stock levels and overage, the real risk is patient impact. Supply availability determines whether visits happen, treatment is delivered on time, and sites can operate with confidence. Effective supply management means looking beyond IP numbers to understand patient continuity and visit level risk across the entire trial.”

Industry benchmarks show that approximately 50% of Clinical Finished Goods (CFG) manufactured for clinical trials are never administered to patients, representing hundreds of millions of dollars in wasted drug supply each year1.

“Setting up Perceptive Clinical Intelligence reflects the next step in Perceptive’s evolution, combining deep clinical supply and randomization expertise with data–driven technology to enable smarter supply planning, and increased supply confidence, and continuity across the trial lifecycle,” said Shaun Hopgood, Chief Operating Officer at Perceptive eClinical.

Perceptive eClinical and Trialzen have each delivered proven results for sponsors, with real–world engagements generating savings exceeding $1 million and materially reducing supply overage.

A Technology Enabled, Expert-Led Approach

Delivered by Perceptive’s in–house specialists, the consultancy is built on 30 years of experience supporting biotech and large pharma across randomization and clinical supply management. It combines Perceptive’s proven supply–modelling expertise with Trialzen’s advanced calculation and simulation engine, fully integrated into Perceptive’s next–generation platform, Clinphone Pro.

Anchored in deep oncology expertise, where global scale, complex dosing, and multi–layered supply chains increase planning risk, the consultancy also draws on experience across Endocrinology and Metabolism, and Infectious Diseases, and supports emerging areas such as Precision and Nuclear Medicine, and Cell and Gene Therapies. 

Reflecting on this alliance and its objectives, Cedric Druck, CEO and Co–Founder of Trialzen, commented: “Trialzen was built by clinical supply experts who spent years watching planning decisions get made on spreadsheets and gut feel, then handed off to execution systems with no feedback loop. This collaboration with Perceptive closes that gap. By integrating our forecasting and simulation capabilities directly with their IRT platform, we enable sponsors to move from scenario planning to operational action in a single environment, with full transparency at every step.”

At the heart of this alliance is a shared belief that clinical supply planning and execution should live in one connected environment. “Together, Perceptive and Trialzen are working toward a unified way of operating, where strategic decisions and day–to–day execution come together, enabling greater visibility, smarter scenarios, and more confident supply decisions from manufacturing through to patient dosing”. said Tony Street, Senior Vice President Strategy at Trialzen.
