When Samsung Electronics acts, the effects are felt across the industry
2027 - Aim to transition to 100% renewable energy in DX Division and all overseas sites* / 2030 - Aim to achieve net zero carbon emissions in DX Division (Scope 1·2). Plan to reduce power consumption by 30%¹) on average of major models of seven product categories²) / Aim to transition to 100% renewable energy. Aim to achieve company-wide net zero carbon emissions (Scope 1·2) * DX∙DS Divisions
Striving for a circular economy
2022 - In 2022, Circular Economy Lab was established to research material recycling technologies / 2030 - Aim to apply recycled plastic¹) to 50%²) of plastic parts³) in DX products, Plan to expand e-waste collection system to all global sales regions, collecting a cumulative 10 million4) tonnes / 2050 - Aim to apply recycled plastic¹) to 100%²) of plastic parts³) in DX products, plan to collect 25 million tonnes⁴) of e-waste cumulatively
Aiming for open collaboration with and support of communities, startups, and suppliers
Support partner companies to achieve their carbon reduction targets and to invest in environmental resources through our ESG funds / 2030 - Develop carbon capture technology for semiconductor business sites. Expand the use of particulate matter reduction technology * Korean business sites, suppliers, partner companies, etc. / After 2030 - Apply carbon capture technology to semiconductor manufacturing facilities (Contributing to 2050 net zero)
Aiming to treat water and air pollutants to natural state levels and to meticulously manage and recycle waste and chemicals
2025 - Aim to obtain Platinum-grade of ‘Zero Waste to Landfill’* for global manufacturing sites. *UL Solutions issues Zero Waste to Landfill designations based on a facility's waste diversion rate: Platinum(100%), Gold(95-99%), and Silver(90-94%). Facilities that achieve diversion rate less than 90% and above 80% can still qualify for a certified landfill diversion claim / 2030 - Aim to replenish 100% of water consumed by DX Division. Aim to reduce DS Division. * Korean manufacturing sites / 2040 - Remove pollutants generated during the semiconductor production process to 'natural state' levels* with minimal environmental impact prior to discharge (DS Division). *Treating effluent to the level of upper stream water and emissions to clean air quality meeting the national standards
