In 2007, we implemented internal Eco-Product priority purchasing policies, environmental manuals and green purchasing rules to further promote the purchase of green products. The Eco-Product priority purchasing policies require the purchasing department to choose products that are better for the environment including products that received environmental labels, recycled products and highly energy effi cient products when purchasing offi ce supplies and raw materials. Environment Operation Control Water Resource Management Water resource management has become a prominent global environment issue along with climate change. Today, an increasing number of regions are suffering from permanent water shortages due to various causes including rapid industrialization, development and climate change. In fact, many experts predict that more than two thirds of humans in countries including China, Australia and India will begin to experience water shortages by 2050. Generally, the semiconductor industry is responsible for a daily consumption of 7,500 to 15,000 tons of ultra pure water, which is equivalent to enough water to sustain a city of 50,000 residents for a day. As a leading semiconductor manufacturer, Samsung takes its responsibility to contribute to the effective management of water resources seriously and has set company-wide water management policies, reduction targets and strategies to secure and maintain sustainable water resources. / Samsung Electronics Sustainability Report 2012 / 27
Establishing a Water Resource Management Policy Sustainable water supply and water source preservation has become an important priority among all electronics companies including Samsung Electronics. Responding to growing industry needs, international business organizations for CSR including the EICC and WBCSD have created corporate water resource management guidelines. Recognizing the growing importance of global water resource management, Samsung Electronics has established water policies with a focus on enhanced stakeholder communication and minimization of management risk. Samsung Electronics Water Resource Management Policy Basic Philosophy Code of Conduct Minimizing Water Management Risk Samsung Electronics set a 3% water use reduction target per production unit by 2015. We then collected water use data to identify plants with the highest water use, established a monitoring structure, identifi ed reduction measures, and implemented cost effective measures to minimize business risks associated with water use and environmental impact. Semiconductor production is a core business of Samsung Electronics, which is exposed to signifi cant business risks associated with water shortages. Recognizing its risk, we have analyzed water risk and developed redundant water supplies as well as an emergency response system to avoid any negative impact upon business. We also understand water risk as a serious global issue and are expanding monitoring efforts to collect data from our operations and verifying the reliability of effi cient water consumption. Samsung Electronics is establishing a comprehensive water management system which reduces the cost and pressure on water resources by promot- 28 / Samsung Electronics Sustainability Report 2012 / Samsung Electronics recognizes the importance of water resources in the sustainability of society and business management, and contributes to its protection as a responsible corporate citizen of global community. Strive to minimize water risk impact by our business activities. Analyze the impacts of our products, production activities and services make on water resources and minimize risks by identifying and implementing new technologies. Instill an awareness of the importance of water resources as a part of our corporate culture. Integrate the importance of water resource protection and sustainability management into the corporate culture and ensure responsible water resource management by employees with the highest consideration for the impact on local communities and the environment. Proactively cooperate with public water policies. Proactively contribute to the establishment and implementation of water resource management policies by international institutes, the government and local authorities in line with relevant guidelines. Disclose company policies and activities on water resource management. Disclose company’s policies and activities related to water resource use to stakeholders including local communities in a transparent manner.
