PlanetFirst
Samsung Electronics is committed to PlanetFirst, which sums up our
mindset and fundamental approach to balancing cutting-edge
technology and a greener way of life. At the Green Management
Initiative in 2009, we announced Eco-Management 2013 to establish
green management goals for significantly reducing greenhouse gases
and launching eco-friendly products.
We are creating new value through Eco-Innovation and green
management throughout our entire product lifecycle, from
production to consumption. In 2012, we reduced greenhouse gas
emissions by up to 44% over 2008, based on sales, by adopting
greenhouse gas reduction systems and energy savings at our global
complexes. In product development, we improved energy efficiency
by an average 30% over 2008 in our refrigerators, washers, air
conditioners, TVs, monitors, printers, mobile phones and more. As a
result, we reduced greenhouse gas emissions for product usage by as
much as an accumulated 58.34 million tons from 2009 through 2012.
Looking forward, we will continue our efforts to respect the planet and
build the future we all envision by creating new value with our eco-
friendly innovations.
Protecting the
global environment
continues to be
our top priority for
sustainable growth
