South Korea also aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 but this is challenging for a country with significant heavy industry including shipbuilding and steel, analysts say. “While its carbon emission number continues to rise, Samsung Electronics had delayed making a clear commitment how to meaningfully reduce carbon emissions.

In addition to its net zero emissions and water goals, Samsung plans to increase the recycling of resources such as lithium and cobalt used in Samsung devices.
