Samsung

Samsung, a South Korean semiconductor and related device manufacturer, reported total emissions of approximately 117.6 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This figure comprises 4.6 billion kg CO2e in Scope 1 emissions, 9.5 billion kg CO2e in market-based Scope 2 emissions, and 103.4 billion kg CO2e in Scope 3 emissions.

In 2024, the company's total emissions were about 115.6 billion kg CO2e, with 4.7 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 10.2 billion kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 100.7 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. Looking back to 2023, Samsung's total emissions stood at approximately 120.3 billion kg CO2e, including 3.7 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 9.6 billion kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2, and 107.0 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Samsung has set ambitious climate commitments. The company aims for net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050, as announced in its New Environmental Strategy in 2022. Specifically, its Device eXperience (DX) division plans to achieve net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, and the DS Division targets net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050. Samsung also has a broader goal of net zero carbon emissions across all scopes by 2050.

The company previously aimed for a 70% reduction in GHG emission intensity by 2020 compared to a 2008 baseline, targeting 1.55 tonnes of CO2e per KRW 100 million from 5.17 tonnes of CO2e per KRW 100 million. Additionally, Samsung committed to reducing absolute GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 from a 2020 baseline for both Scope 1 and Scope 2. Efforts are also underway to minimise environmental impact through initiatives like switching all corporate vehicles to electric by 2027 and achieving 93.4% renewable energy conversion for its DX division by the end of 2023.
