A key focus involves increasing renewable energy use. Samsung aims to power all its global memory manufacturing sites entirely with renewable electricity. This transition is already underway. The company targets completion within the next few years. Samsung also tackles water usage. Factories are implementing advanced water recycling systems. The goal is to substantially cut freshwater intake. Samsung commits to returning more clean water to local communities than its manufacturing consumes.

Cutting greenhouse gas emissions is another critical area. Samsung invests heavily in developing new manufacturing technologies. These technologies are designed to be much more energy efficient. The company also explores innovative methods to capture and utilize process gases. Reducing waste sent to landfills remains a priority. Samsung pushes for near-zero waste across its memory production lines. The company actively seeks ways to reuse materials.
