Samsung Receives Corporate Commitment Award for Climate Efforts
On 13th April, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) presented Samsung with the rare ENERGY STAR Corporate Commitment Award for the company’s longstanding and multifaceted commitment to demonstrating leadership and partnership with ENERGY STAR and mitigating climate change.
“We are extremely honored to receive this rare and prestigious award and commit to continuing to raise the bar on energy efficiency as an important part of tackling climate change.”
- KS Choi, President and CEO, Samsung Electronics North America.
Through continuous efficiency improvements and changes in distribution, manufacturing, repair, and recycling, Samsung is reducing the impact of the devices that customers love and demand.
Since 2009, Samsung product efficiency improvements have enabled customers to avoid an estimated 270 million metric tons of CO2 emissions through the use of Samsung products.
Samsung is also committed to reducing the climate impact of its operations and supply chain. Following through on a commitment made in 2018, Samsung uses 100% renewable energy to power its worksites in the US, China, and Europe. As a result, Samsung ranks among the top in EPA’s Green Power Partnership program.
