Scope 3 Emissions Management
Scope 3 Emissions Management Process
Samsung Electronics’ Scope 3 GHG emissions include GHG emissions associated with suppliers, product use, transport of parts and products and business
travel by Korean employees.
Supplier GHG emissions are calculated using the activity data submitted by suppliers. Emissions associated with logistics and business travel are automatically
calculated by the G-EHS. GHG emissions associated with product use are estimated using energy consumption information and typical use
scenarios for each product. The GHG emissions of product use are correlated to the energy effi ciency of products. The GHG emissions data of each scope
can be managed by environmental managers in each division, the corporate environmental affairs management team, and top management.
Boundary of Scope 3 Management
Scope 3 GHG emissions are calculated as per related international standards including ISO 14064, IPCC guidelines, WBCSD Scope 3 guidelines and
carbon footprint labeling standard of Korea.
GHG Emissions in Product Use Samsung Electronics defi nes ”GHG Emissions associated with product use” as the amount of GHG emissions caused
by electricity consumption of Samsung Electronics products. The emissions associated with product use have not increased despite an increase in the
number of products sold due to the increased energy effi ciency of newer products. We achieved 17,630 thousand tons of GHG emission reductions in
2011 compared to the 2008 levels.
