Humanity is facing complex
environmental and social risks
as climate change, geopolitical conflicts
and economic crisis intertwine.
With such unprecedented crises, we are more so than ever united in our drive to
make the world more sustainable. This drive also means higher expectations of
companies to do their part, by leveraging their capacity to innovate.
At Samsung Electronics, we put sustainability at the forefront of our business,
partaking in global efforts to secure a sustainable future, while linking innovative
technology to strengthen our competitive edge.
On September 15, 2022,
we announced our New Environment Strategy,
Renewing our commitment to Planet and People
as our business paradigm for growth.
With 2050 net zero carbon emissions as our goal, we plan to reduce our Scope 1 and
2 emissions, make our products even more energy-efficient and maximize resource
circularity across the entire product lifecycle, from raw material sourcing to
disposal and recycling.
Moreover,
Samsung Electronics strives to implement our
People-first philosophy and commitment to work with
our partners towards realizing
a sustainable society.
We are also committed to strengthening digital security, inclusivity and
responsibility in our products and services because we understand how important
it is for digital transformations to secure privacy and accessibility for all users while
ethically using new technologies such as artificial intelligence.
We will continue to provide technology capacity building programs to future
generations as part of our corporate citizenship activities and share smart factory
innovation to small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), while operating C-Lab
to support the start-up community.
Ultimately, our sustainability efforts aim to provide our consumers and customers
with innovative technology and sustainable solutions so that we can partner on
our journey towards a better future.
Samsung Electronics understands that
it is important to communicate
and partner with
various stakeholders
in our sustainability journey.
This is why we have developed a sustainability website dedicated to
communicating our progress and activities with our stakeholders.
We look forward to sharing our step-by-step journey towards implementing our
sustainability commitments through our website, and communicating with
stakeholders on our mutual goal towards a sustainable future.
Thank you.
