Key activities
Samsung Electro-Mechanics has made it a priority to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and is
participating in efforts to combat climate change through greenhouse gas reduction activities.
-
- We established an energy management system (ISO50001) and are managing energy reduction activities at all domestic and overseas business sites.
- We analyze energy increase and decrease factors each year and set targets to carry out reduction activities.
- We included energy use management in management evaluation items to internalize energy reduction efforts within the organization.
-
- We operate an Energy Reduction Task Force, which is organized with members from various departments,
including development, manufacturing, and infrastructure. - Starting at the manufacturing sites, we work to streamline the operation of facilities related to production volume, manage the use of sleep mode, and identify energy-saving initiatives.
- Bimonthly meetings organized by the CSO are held to review energy consumption and the status of energy reduction tasks at each business site.
- We operate an Energy Reduction Task Force, which is organized with members from various departments,
-
- We analyze critical utility facility loads to increase energy efficiency through consolidated/differential supply.
- We utilize waste heat generated during the operation of utility facilities to reduce energy consumption through heating only.
- We increase energy efficiency by managing the status of idle equipment and supplemental operations in response to changes in daily production.
-
- We joined RE100 in 2022 to achieve carbon neutrality and are working towards RE100 in 2050.
- We are considering introducing a direct renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) business using underutilized land at our business sites.
-
- We aim to convert 100% of our car fleet to electric vehicles by 2030.
- We are creating an environment where employees can use electric vehicles more conveniently by building electric vehicle charging infrastructure in parking lots at domestic business sites.
-
- We are responding to climate change by focusing on investments and operations in the environmental energy sector, including the conversion of high-efficiency facilities to reduce electricity consumption and the introduction of process gas reduction facilities to reduce greenhouse gases.
- We provide training on performance analysis and efficient operation of pure water, boilers, chillers, etc. to help operators improve their basic energy efficiency skills and provide training for energy managers in each department on calculating the effectiveness of energy saving projects.
