Reaching carbon neutrality means Samsung balanced the emissions it makes. It did this by cutting actual emissions first. Then it used verified methods to offset the rest. Samsung significantly reduced its logistics emissions. It invested heavily in cleaner transportation options. Using sustainable aviation fuel and biofuel for ships helped a lot. Optimizing shipping routes saved fuel too. Switching to electric or hybrid vehicles for ground transport made a difference.
Samsung also focused on using renewable energy. Major logistics centers now run on solar power or other clean sources. These steps drastically lowered the network’s overall carbon output. The leftover emissions were balanced. Samsung supported certified environmental projects to achieve this balance. These projects remove or prevent carbon elsewhere. Examples include forest protection and landfill gas capture.
This move is part of Samsung’s larger environmental plan. The company is determined to fight climate change. Making logistics carbon neutral is a major step. It shows Samsung’s commitment to sustainable business practices. The effort required significant investment and innovation. It involved many partners across the supply chain working together. Samsung believes sustainable logistics is essential for the future.
