Slovakia Birdhouse Campaign
In Slovakia, we conducted a birdhouse installation
project to protect rare bird species living
in the vicinity of our operation site. Children
from local communities participated both in
the construction and installation of birdhouses.
The participants were also given lessons on the
importance of the ecosystem and environmental
protection.
In Hungary, we held an employee environmental
protection campaign poster contest and encouraged
the use of bicycles for commuting to
raise awareness on environmental protection.

Solar-Powered Internet School
Donation of Solar LED Lantern
Samsung Electronics has created a 100%
solar-powered mobile classrooms named the
‘Solar-powered Internet School’ and supplied
them in Africa.
We also began the supply of solar-powered
LED lanterns, for areas that do not have access
to electricity, in collaboration with the Korea
Volunteer Organization. Manufactured using
durable Samsung Electronics’ parts including
LEDs, solar panels, and batteries, the LED lantern
is designed to last for more than 10 years
without GHG emissions.
We plan to conduct green communication
activities using our green IT technologies and
provide benefi ts to 5 million African residents
by 2015.
