Develop low-power products
Save energy from manufacturing
Develop and apply new catalysts for treating process gas
Use renewable energy
Transfer all vehicles into eco-friendly
We aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
We are continually expanding our process gas treatment facilities, and developing catalysts and replacement gas to increase the efficiency of process gas treatment. While starting to use only zero-emission vehicles within our business sites, we will expand the use of renewable energy at all business sites to expedite a transition to renewables for electricity use. Our upcoming ultra-low power products will enhance its energy efficiency while reducing energy consumption.
Keep water withdrawal to 2021 levels in 2030
Build a water recycling system
Discover alternative water, such as reused sewage water
Optimize water usage for manufacturing
We plan to keep the water withdrawal at the level of 2021 by 2030.
Reducing water withdrawal at Samsung Semiconductor means reusing and recycling water, in addition to simply using less. Water recycling rates are maximized at Samsung Semiconductor through everyday and systematic improvement efforts:
These include optimizing operations, replacing superannuated equipment, instituting improved operating standards, as well as improving manufacturing processes, and establishing reusing systems. As a result, in 2023, Samsung Semiconductor reduced its water usage by approximately 12,710 thousand tons annually. Large-scale facilities have been
installed at our Pyeongtaek campus over the last few years. Medium/long-term objectives for water use reduction are set, which include streamlining the operation of facilities and utilizing the existing water use reduction plans.
99.9% waste recycling by 2030
Convert waste into a resource
Develop and discover recycling technologies
Reducing daily waste
We plan to recycle 99.9 percent of manufacturing waste by 2030.
Samsung Semiconductor is constantly developing technologies to recycle waste that is currently unrecyclable. We minimize the use of disposable products and adhere to strict recycling practices. We are also fostering and developing
technologies to generate added value from waste. In particular, we have developed technologies to convert wastewater sludge and waste fluid into resources. Our recycling efforts and technology development will continue, to achieve our
target to recycle 99.9% of current waste by 2030.
Air/Water pollutants in a natural state by 2040
Develop new technology for high-efficiency treatment
Develop the process of not using pollutants
We plan on reducing air and water pollutants discharged from the manufacturing process, keeping the level at a natural state by 2040.
New high-efficiency treatment facilities and processes involving Minimum use of potential pollutants are in the works to reduce our emissions of air and water pollutants. Samsung Semiconductor releases post-process water after
purifying water through its waste water disposal plant. Before water is released into the stream, we monitor it to make sure it’s up to our standards — which go beyond the required legal standard — then measure the water quality in
real-time using the Tele-Monitoring System (TMS) and send this data to the Ministry of environment.
