Actively Responding to Climate Change
In line with the Kyoto Protocol—the international Framework Convention on Climate
Change—the world is strengthening its efforts and regulations to reduce greenhouse
gases. As an active leader of environment initiatives to address global warming, Samsung
Electronics introduced the “Catch CO2 Project” in 2002, a voluntary initiative to reduce
our CO2 emissions. We also signed a voluntary agreement with the Korean government
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy conservation. In addition, we are
striving to curtail the discharge of substances that cause global warming, with a particu-
lar focus on CO2 emissions during the manufacturing processes. Meanwhile, we continue
to be a leader in energy conservation efforts through company-wide energy-saving initia-
tives, including the manufacturing of more energy-efficient electronic products.
Partnerships on Environmental Initiatives
Samsung Electronics is committed to earning the respect of local communities by
fulfilling its social obligations regarding ESH. We have a program in place to minimize
our environmental impact, starting with the construction of new plants and office buildings.
Data on facility operations is analyzed regularly and all necessary follow-up measures
are carried out in a timely manner.
We also sponsor activities to protect the ecosystem of the communities where we
work. These activities heighten public awareness of the importance of preserving the
environment and restoring it where it has been damaged. True to our commitment to
environmental responsibility, we organize regular cleanup drives at local mountains
and streams, as well as nature classes for local schools. By publishing the Environ-
mental & Social Report every year, we provide detailed information about our Green
Management initiatives to customers, shareholders and communities for their better
understanding of and involvement in our activities.
Environment Website for Our Product Group We
proactively communicate our environmental activities to stake-
holders through our website’s homepage. With environmental
websites designed specifically for our semiconductors and
mobile phones, we are able to provide further information on our
product-related environmental policies .and programs.
1400
We continue to be recognized by our peers around the world
for our development of innovative environment-friendly prod-
ucts backed by our unique Eco-Design process. As of April
2008, we have received six Eco-labels, including the Korean
Eco-label and the China Environmental Label, in addition to
EU’s Eco-Flower, Germany’s Blue Angel, Sweden’s TCO and
the U.S. EPEAT. More than 1400 Samsung Electronics prod-
ucts were certified as eco-friendly from these institutions,
making us the No. 1 producer of Eco-labeled products in the
global electronics industry.
