environment performance

SAMSUNG Electronics strive to restrain a substance causing the global warming during process, especially CO2 generation.
SAMSUNG Electronics also has been a model case for saving energies by decreasing the energy consumption throughout the company.

• consumption of energies and resources
• process improvement activities

prevention of global warming

SAMSUNG Electronics exert diverse efforts to prevent the global warming. We participated in mock trade project of CO2 emission that sponsored by KBCSD (The Korea Business Council for Sustainable Development) and Korea Energy Management Corporation from December 2003 to January 2004. In addition, we got the opportunity to understand a management system of weather change agreement joining a test project, ‘evaluation and certificate system for national greenhouse gas reduction’ sponsored by Korea Energy Management Corporation from June 2003 to February 2004.

SAMSUNG Electronics has been a leading role in anti-global warming activities by organizing TF to respect Kyoto Protocol and joining the voluntary convention on saving energies as a whole business base.

catch CO2 1030 project

With a slogan of prevention of global warming, SAMSUNG Electronics' project so called 'Catch CO2 1030' has its aim to reduce the emission quantity of global warming substances up to the ratio 30% of 2001 by 2010. When it comes to PECs gas, we develop and apply the technology such as introduction of management system, application of alternative gas and optimization of manufacturing.

As a result, in 2004, we successfully reduced a won unit of 11% compared to 2001 and continuously put our all effort to meet our aiming standard, 30%.

join the voluntary agreement to reduce green house gas

SAMSUNG Electronics agreed to join『Voluntary Agreement on reducing the green house gases』since 2000 as an effort to prevent global warming due to continuing increase of green house gas density in the air. And as one of efforts, each plant has joined the voluntary Agreement and accomplished a plan to save energies annually and reduce CO2 emission.

* What is Voluntary Agreement?

The Voluntary Agreement is a non regulative institution. For a company, it carries out the decreasing target of energy usage every 3 ~ 5 year based on the year of agreement accomplished in order to save energies and reduce green house gas emission between companies which spend annual energies over 2 thousands TOE (Ton of Oil Equivalent) and the government. Also for the government, it provide incentives such as funds, tax and technology education.

efficiencyimprovement of greenhouse gas processing facility

Tangjeong plant propels to improve efficiency of process equipment as a method of reducing green house gas since August 2005. The currently established process equipment has low ability to manage the green house gas because its original objective was to handle particulate matter and flammable gas in the exhaust gas during manufacturing. In order to improve greenhouse gas process efficiency, repeated Lab test found influential factors to the process efficiency with close cooperation with the facility maker. More than 90% of the process efficiency is expected to increase by applying the found factors to the process facility through changing driving condition.

energy

SAMSUNG Electronics promotes eye-opening saving movements to save energy spent while manufacturing and also tries to save energies occurred when using consumer products by developing energy saving products. The SAMSUNG Electronics products has been a leading model of effective usage of energies.

the sustainable saving of energies

1. major activities

• Capturing sympathy with all employees for saving energies and expanding organized activities
  (selecting and operating ‘save energy’, coordinating meeting of chief manager of each energy saving equipment department, operating energy saving Wednesday and running the examining team, etc.)
• Propelling the efficiency maximization of energy saving equipment
• Removing wasting factor of energy.
• The optimization of facility operating conditions
• The organizational activity by applying SIGMA 6 method
• Installation of steam oil gauge, collection of condensed water, automatic controlling of air conditioning and management of optimized supply.
• Saving energy in all production bases
• Developing the ultra innocent Reduction Control
