Samsung is proving to be a global leader in offering eco-friendly products to its consumers. Want to know why? Recently, the conglomerate has been granted a certification from renowned global climate consultancy Carbon Trust for some of its products. Plus, it has collaborated with a popular artist to launch eco-conscious accessories. Here’s the story.
Carbon Trust’s ‘Reducing CO2’ certification for Samsung’s 2023 Neo QLED
Samsung Electronics on Sunday announced via its official news release that six models in its 2023 Neo QLED collection had been granted the “Reducing CO2” certification by the Carbon Trust.
The Carbon Trust is a global climate consultancy founded by United Kingdom’s government. It aims to reduce greenhouse gases and respond to climate change. This organization determines its carbon footprint certification for products by evaluating the amount of greenhouse gases generated throughout the entire life cycle of a particular product. It ranges from production to disposal, based on internationally recognized standards.
The “Reducing CO2” certification is awarded to products when their carbon footprint is proven to have been lessened year on year, which is seen on the Samsung products awarded with this certification.
The products granted the “Reducing CO2” certification include Samsung’s three Neo QLED 8K and three Neo QLED 4K screens.
But that is not all. Samsung further noted in the press release that it is expecting to also achieve this carbon footprint certification for over 20 of its models this year, including its latest lineup of OLED, QLED, and Crystal UHD TVs, as well as its monitors and signage products.
“It’s rewarding to see Samsung’s sustainability mission recognized by a trusted organization, as we remain committed to creating products with the future of our planet top of mind,” Samsung Electronics’ Executive Vice President and Deputy Head of Visual Display Business Seokwoo Yong said. “As the world’s largest TV manufacturer, we recognize our responsibility to lead by example and will continue to leverage technology to drive positive change.”

Meanwhile, the South Korean technology conglomerate also recently announced its partnership with MSFTSrep founder, designer, and artist JADEN, which its calls the Samsung Galaxy x MSFTSrep Eco-Conscious Collection.
