In the conversation, Newton emphasized that Samsung is focused on reducing carbon emissions across all sectors of the company and designing sustainability into their innovative products with the goal of enabling customers to shrink their environmental footprint. 

According to Newton, Samsung considers externalities when designing products and incorporates environmental and social impacts into the decision making process. “We’re making decisions that help us reduce greenhouse gas reductions, implement circular economy practices, and contribute to healthy communities,” Newton asserts.  

“Our first priority is to run our operations as efficiently as possible,” Newton explains. “We’re also constantly striving to enhance the energy efficiency of our products.
