SEOUL, South Korea – Samsung Electronics announced a major push to use more renewable energy in its global manufacturing operations. The company specifically targets its smartphone production lines. This move affects factories making popular Galaxy devices.

Samsung aims to significantly increase clean power sources. Solar and wind energy will replace traditional electricity in many facilities. The company sees this as essential for environmental responsibility. Reducing carbon emissions is a key goal.

The shift starts with factories in South Korea and Vietnam. These plants produce most Galaxy phones sold worldwide. Samsung plans to expand renewable energy use to all its manufacturing sites eventually. A timeline for full implementation is not yet public.

Company executives highlighted the importance of sustainability. “We are committed to lowering our environmental impact,” a Samsung spokesperson stated. “Using renewable energy makes our products greener.”

This initiative builds on previous Samsung environmental efforts. The company already uses recycled materials in some phone components. Reducing packaging waste is another ongoing focus.

Industry experts note growing consumer demand for eco-friendly products. Samsung competes with Apple and others in the sustainability space. Apple already powers many operations with renewable energy. Samsung’s new commitment levels the playing field somewhat.

The increased use of renewables requires infrastructure upgrades. Samsung is investing in new solar panels and wind turbines at its factories. Power purchase agreements with clean energy providers are also part of the strategy. These deals secure large amounts of green electricity.
