Remember the time we gave Samsung stores a makeover\u2026<\/h2>\n

Greenpeace activists protest Samsung to commit to using 100% clean energy. The environmental activists hang a 40m2 banner over a Samsung advertisement on the walls of the Berlin Palace that reads: \u2018Go 100% renewable energy now!\u2019. \u00a9 Mike Schmidt \/ Greenpeace<\/p><\/div>\n

Or when we did this\u2026<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Greenpeace activists in Taipei called out Samsung for sponsoring this year\u2019s Winter Olympic Games in South Korea, which are touted to be powered by 100% renewable energy. Renewables account for only 1% of Samsung Electronics\u2019 total energy consumption. \u00a9 Chong Kok Yew \/ Greenpeace<\/p><\/div>\n

And\u00a0remember when you shared this?<\/h2>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

After months of people-powered actions around the world, Samsung Electronics finally accepted our challenge to #DoWhatYouCant and\u00a0taken the first steps towards 100% renewable energy!<\/b>\u00a0This is great news for our planet and the hundreds of thousands of people around the world taking action for a renewably powered future.<\/p>\n

So what exactly has Samsung committed to?<\/b><\/h2>\n

1) A 100% renewable energy commitment in the US, China and Europe by 2020 (including all its own manufacturing factories).<\/p>\n

2) Onsite installation of solar and geothermal energy in Korea, near its Hwaseong, Pyongtaek, and Suwon semiconductor plants.\u00a0Samsung also supports the government\u2019s national strategic plan to increase the country\u2019s renewable energy use by 20% by 2030<\/p>\n

3) Join the\u00a0CDP\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0(formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure Project)\u00a0supply chain program\u00a0next year,\u00a0which helps to identify and manage climate change risks,\u00a0to lead change in their supply chain.<\/p>\n

See Samsung\u2019s full statement\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What does this mean?<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is a really important first step for Samsung to reduce its\u00a0massive global manufacturing footprint. Just imagine, in 2016 alone, the tech giant\u2019s energy consumption amounted to 16,000GWh, that\u2019s the same as the Dominican Republic! This could help drive a faster transition away from fossil fuels like coal countries like China and South Korea.<\/p>\n

If we see more ambitious actions from companies like Samsung and a shared responsibility then there is still time for us to turn the corner and build the renewably powered future we urgently need.<\/p>\n

What is key now is to make sure Samsung follows through on this commitment with meaningful actions that actually lead to more renewable energy and expands this same level of ambition to other key regions like Vietnam.<\/p>\n

With your help, we will be watching to make sure they do! For now though help us celebrate the good news!<\/p>\n
