Samsung, headquartered in KR and operating in the Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing industry, reported its most recent emissions data for 2025. In that year, the company's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 4.65 billion kg CO2e, while market-based Scope 2 emissions were around 9.51 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions totalled approximately 103.39 billion kg CO2e, with "use of sold products" being the largest contributor at about 79.58 billion kg CO2e.

Looking at previous years, in 2024, Samsung's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 4.73 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions were about 10.16 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were around 100.70 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 3.73 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 at about 9.56 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 107.04 billion kg CO2e. For 2022, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 5.97 billion kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of about 9.08 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 115.96 billion kg CO2e.

Samsung has established several climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero carbon emissions across all scopes by 2050. More immediate targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, from a 2020 baseline. The Device eXperience (DX) division within Samsung specifically targets net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030. Additionally, the DX division achieved 93.4% renewable energy conversion by the end of 2023, with 100% renewable energy use at major global manufacturing facilities in regions such as the United States, Europe, Korea, China, Brazil, India, and Vietnam. The Device Solutions (DS) Division has a long-term goal of net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050. Previously, Samsung also aimed for a 70% reduction in GHG emission intensity by 2020 compared to 2008 for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
