Samsung Recognized for Sustained Leadership in Environmental Protection Efforts
Samsung Awarded with 2018 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year –
Sustained Excellence Award
RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today announced that it received the
2018 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award for
continued leadership and superior contributions to ENERGY STAR. This is
the 7th Partner of the Year award presented to Samsung and
the 5th time within Sustained Excellence.
The award is presented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and the Department of Energy (DOE) to honor organizations that have made
outstanding contributions to protect the environment through energy
efficiency, including designing and manufacturing high-efficiency
products. In 2017, Samsung had over 800 ENERGY STAR certified products
on the market, a nearly 20% increase in Samsung ENERGY STAR products
versus 2016, in our efforts to continue helping consumers save on energy
costs while protecting the environment.
“As our commitment to innovation advances, so does our commitment to
sustainability,” said Michael Lawder, Senior Vice President of Customer
Care at Samsung Electronics America. “We’re honored to receive this
recognition for our efforts and look forward to continuing to ensure our
products push the boundaries of technology today, with sustainability in
mind.”
Earlier this year, the EPA also awarded Samsung with the 2017 Cutting
Edge Champion Award for its innovative Galaxy Upcycling program, and
honored the company’s U.S. e-waste collection efforts with the Gold Tier
Award for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, Samsung now ranks at
No. 9 on the EPA’s Green Power Partnership Top 30 Tech & Telecom list
and No. 57 on the National Top 100 List.
