Samsung

Samsung, headquartered in South Korea and operating in the Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing industry, reported its most recent emissions for 2025.

In 2025, Samsung's total calculated emissions are projected at approximately 117.5 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 4.6 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 9.5 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and approximately 103.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions in 2025 is the use of sold products, accounting for about 79.6 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in 2024, Samsung's total calculated emissions were approximately 115.6 billion kg CO2e, comprising about 4.7 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, 10.2 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based), and roughly 100.7 billion kg CO2e for Scope 3.

Samsung has established several climate commitments:

• Net Zero Target: Samsung aims to achieve net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050. The Device eXperience (DX) division targets net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, while the DS Division targets net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050.
• Absolute Reduction Targets: Samsung has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline. Additionally, there is a target to reduce GHG emissions by 6.03 million tonnes in the manufacturing process between 2021 and 2025 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2.
• Intensity Reduction Targets: For 2020, Samsung aimed for a 70% reduction in GHG emission intensity for Scope 1 and 2, targeting 1.55 tonnes of CO2e per KRW 100 million, from a 2008 baseline of 5.17 tonnes of CO2e per KRW 100 million.
• Renewable Energy and Electrification: The DX division achieved 93.4% renewable energy conversion by the end of 2023, including 100% renewable energy use at major global manufacturing facilities. Samsung also plans to switch all approximately 1,500 corporate vehicles to electric vehicles by 2027 and complete energy transition at all global operations sites by 2027.
