We aim to fully shift to renewable energy for power consumption in our operations home and abroad by 2025 and this will allow us to reduce our GHG emissions.
As part of our efforts to advance environment-friendly management, we are extending the scope of our products certified under carbon footprint programs to improve the environmental performance of our products. In June 2023, we achieved a feat of obtaining a carbon footprint label from Carbon Trust based on the calculations made on our 49.5Ah (module) and 4.8Ah (cell) products.
* We leverage Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) to develop measures to improve our environmental impact. LCAs are performed to identify environmental loads such as GHG emissions generated throughout the entire product lifecycle from the extraction of raw materials to product use and disposal and to analyze their substantial impact.
SAMSUNG SDI is actively rolling out measures to reduce LNG usage in order to cut down on Scope 1 direct GHG emissions.
We introduced electric commuter buses that do not generate environmental load during operation at our worksites and have since equipped our domestic locations with EV chargers in their parking lots so that employees and customers can use their eco-friendly vehicles at their convenience.
To reduce the energy consumed at our worksites, we provide our domestic worksites which consume a large amount of energy with technical support for energy conservation. For overseas worksites, we offer locally-hired staff technical skill-up training for the purpose of energy saving.
The company recognizes the importance of ecosystem restoration and biodiversity preservation and thereby implement pursuant activities in our safety and environment management policy. By the same token, we support Convention on Biological Diversity and UN SDGs.
SAMSUNG SDI will continuously take policies to eradicate deforestation to protect the global environment, such as protecting the ecosystem and responding to the climate crisis. Such is incorporated in our safety and environment management policy, and we support UN SDGs related to eradicating deforestation.
