LG Polymers Leak
The South Korean parent company, LG Chem, said in its May 2019 affidavit, a part of an application
for environment clearance, that the company did not have a legitimate environmental clearance
issued by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), after receiving
an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), substantiating the produced quantity and for continuing
operations. However, LG Chem spokesperson Choi Sang-kyu told the Associated Press (AP) that
the company had followed Indian laws and operated based on the officials' guidelines at the state
and federal level.
