Certification Confirms Six Neo QLED 8K and Neo QLED 4K Models Have a Reduced Carbon Footprint Compared to Their Predecessors, Based on Cradle-to-Grave Footprint

As Samsung Expands Sustainability Efforts, More Than 20 Models Expected to Obtain Certifications This Year

Samsung Electronics today announced that six models in its 2023 Neo QLED lineup have achieved the Carbon Trust’s “CO2 Reduction” certification. This label is awarded to a product when it is proven that its carbon footprint has been reduced year on year, which demonstrates Samsung’s efforts to improve sustainability throughout the product’s life cycle.

“It is gratifying to see Samsung’s sustainability mission recognized by a trusted organization, as we remain committed to creating products with our planet’s future in mind,” said Seokwoo Yong, Executive Vice President and Chief Visual Display Business Assistant at Samsung Electronics. “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.”

The Carbon Trust is a global climate consultancy founded by the UK government with a mission to respond to climate change and reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs). The organization calculates its carbon footprint certification by evaluating the amount of GHG generated¹ throughout the product life cycle, from production to disposal, based on internationally recognized standards. In particular, the label does not take CO2 offsets into account.

The 2023 Neo QLED models have achieved certification in recognition of Samsung’s efforts to reduce product weight and power consumption during the use phase compared to their predecessors. The six certified models include three 8K Neo QLED displays and three 4K Neo QLED displays.² As Samsung aims to broaden the reach of these efforts, it plans to achieve carbon footprint certification for more than 20 models in its latest lineup of QLED, Crystal UHD and OLED TVs, as well as monitors and products this year. signaling.

In 2021, Samsung Neo QLED became the first display to receive certification among 4K and higher resolution TVs. The following year, 16 models from Samsung’s 2022 lineup, including 11 models from the QLED, Crystal UHD and Lifestyle TV lineup, as well as five monitors and signage products, also achieved certification.

As the global TV leader for the 17th consecutive year, Samsung’s Visual Display Business continues to introduce eco-responsible products and practices for its display products.
