2013 SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS ANNUAL REPORT
Since the announcement of the Eco-Management 2013
strategy, a mid-term Green Management policy announced in
2009, we have successfully launched eco-friendly products,
developed green workplaces and reduced greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. As of 2013, we fullled its key goals of
a 50% reduction in GHG emissions intensity (tons per revenue
in KRW) and a 100% launch of eco-friendly products that are
eligible for global eco marks. In 2014, we are setting new goals
for green management to help realize a sustainable global
environment where nature, people and business can grow
in harmony.
Developing Green Products
We are focused on developing green technology and products
based on our main principles of minimizing environmental
impact across the entire product life cycle, from procurement,
manufacturing, distribution, usage to disposal. We are
launching products that embody the environmental values
of reducing energy consumption, resources and hazardous
substances, protecting water resources and leveraging green
wherever possible.
Operating Green Manufacturing Sites
All of our manufacturing sites practice systematic green
management and have earned ISO 14001 and ISO 50001
certications, the recognized international standards for
environmental systems and energy management.
We monitor and control emissions of air and water pollutants
as well as ozone-depleting substances in accordance with
legal requirements and our stricter internal standards. We also
promote extensive programs to enhance efciencies in using
water and raw materials.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
We actively reduce greenhouse gas emissions from
our manufacturing sites and the use of our products by
improving the energy efciency of manufacturing facilities
and by producing energy-efcient products. We are broading
the scope of GHG inventory management to include more
awareness on employee business trips, logistics and supplier
business activities.
