Energy Saving Activities and Ahievements<br />
<strong>Samsung</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> achieved energy use reductions by 171,000 TOE through optimization of manufacturing and utility equipment, installation of high<br />
energy effi ciency equipment, and waste heat recovery. It is equivalent to savings of KRW 70 billion in energy cost and reduction of 370,000 tons CO2.<br />
Need for systematic energy management is increasing with the introduction of new policies such as the GHG/Energy target management system<br />
enforced by Korea government in 2011. Responding to the change, we implemented the Energy Management System (EnMS) for analysis of energy<br />
use status, management of reduction targets, and promotion of energy saving activities in systematic manner. Implementation of the EnMS and other<br />
energy management initiatives enabled five production plants in Gumi, Giheung, Hwasung, Onyang and Tangjung to receive international energy<br />
management certifi cation (ISO 50001) in 2011.<br />
We also implemented ‘Pre-certifi cation of Energy Effi ciency’ for all energy using devices, equipment, and raw materials to induce energy effi ciency improvement<br />
by equipments suppliers and to contribute to energy savings at operation sites. Our ultimate goal is to achieve of GHG emissions reduction<br />
and cost reduction at the same time.<br />
Renewable Energy<br />
Renewable Energy Expansion Plan and Activities<br />
<strong>Samsung</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> is developing 1MW of hydro power plant and 1.4MW scale of solar power system in Korea. we are also expanding the investment<br />
on solar cell, smart grids and geothermal heating system.<br />
We are investing in the development of photovoltaic cells, smart grid technology, and geothermal heating/cooling systems as a sustainable growth<br />
opportunity. For example, we have been participating in the Korean-government led smart grid pilot project on Jeju Island as a smart grids ready home<br />
appliance developer.<br />
Renewable Energy Status<br />
<strong>Samsung</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong>’ QA Lab America and the Austin Semiconductor Production plant are participating in the ‘Green Power Partnership’ program created<br />
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for promotion of renewable energy industry. For example, QA Labs America has replaced 73.7% of it’s<br />
total electricity consumption with a roof-top photovoltaic system. The Austin semiconductor plant purchased 25.5 GWh of renewable energy electricity<br />
as well.<br />

The <strong>Samsung</strong> <strong>Electronics</strong> LED business division formed a partnership with the <strong>Samsung</strong> Construction Company for the development of an ‘Intelligent<br />
Green Building Solution’. The objective is to create an energy saving solution which can reduce the energy consumption of a building by 30% with minimal<br />
investment. Successful development will signifi cantly contribute to greening of buildings.<br />
