Samsung Steps Up Environmental Efforts

In a story first released by Korean Newswire, Samsung Electronics announced they plan to reduce GHG emissions in their manufacturing facilities by 50%, and reduce indirect greenhouse gas emissions of all products by 84 million tons over the next five years. Samsung has labeled this bold new plan as “Eco-Management 2013.”
Samsung has always been on the leading end of technology, and this initiative will undoubtedly bolster their already outstanding image. In addition, I expect other tech companies such as LG and Panasonic to now follow suit and launch their own green initiatives in the near future.
I applaud Samsung for stepping up to the plate and releasing a set of measurable goals that will drastically reduce their environmental impact over the next several years, and hope companies in all industries will follow their lead.
