Assessment (LCA) process has been establishedSamsung Semiconductor has established a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) process based on international standards ISO 14040, 14044, and 14067, to evaluate the environmental impact across the entire life cycle of products and to calculate their carbon footprint.
LCA involves quantitatively analyzing and evaluating the environmental impacts occurring throughout the entire life cycle, from raw material extraction, transportation, to product manufacturing, usage and disposal.
Samsung Semiconductor has endeavored to find the optimal methodology and calculate the vast amounts of data in order to accurately and transparently disclose the environmental impact of semiconductor products. We effectively manage Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for all semiconductor products by linking data required for LCA system.

The quality of activity data* in semiconductors is crucial for determining the accuracy of the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). This is because the materials used in the manufacturing are diverse and undergo complex manufacturing process.
Samsung Semiconductor’s PCF system is designed to automatically collect the various activity data required for calculating PCF from manufacturing, financial and other internal systems.
The collected data is highly consistent and is converted into emissions to calculate a reliable PCF using verified logic.

Samsung Semiconductor established a LCA methodology based on international standards for LCA and carbon emissions calculation, and completing third-party validation in December 2022. Building on these efforts, we developed an automated calculation system based on actual activity data, and third-party validation was completed in June 2024.
As a result, we have secured the reliability of both the LCA methodology and the product carbon footprint data calculated through it.
Moving forward, we plan to transparently and accurately disclose environmental data based on the verified LCA system and actively communicate with our customers and stakeholders.

Samsung Semiconductor calculates detailed unit carbon emissions by process, category and manufacturing site. This enables the identification of major sources of carbon emissions during manufacturing and helps in developing measures to reduce them. We will continue to monitor and mitigate carbon emissions by implementing various reduction strategies to achieve our net-zero target.
