Many companies like to talk about climate and sustainability, but as it turns out, most of them are not willing to turn their words into action. From recent survey consulting firm BCG shows that only one in five companies are ready to act on their climate and sustainability claims. Many claim that sustainability is their top priority, but few develop products or processes to support sustainable models. One of them is Samsung, which this year was ranked in the top ten of the most innovative companies in the field of climate and sustainability.

Samsung ranked sixth in the BCG ranking, behind companies Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet (Google) and Tesla. According to BCG, the Korean tech giant is one of the few companies that has embraced its environmental and social principles as well as management principles to reduce its carbon footprint and create sustainable solutions.
Examples of Samsung's recent efforts in this area include environmentally friendly product boxes, removing chargers from smartphone and tablet packaging, extending software support for many devices, and launching a smartphone repair program in the US. In addition, he announced a few days ago that he wants to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050 and that he has joined the RE100 initiative, which aims to shift the energy consumption of the world's most influential companies to renewable sources.

It's also worth noting that it's trying to conserve water and reduce pollution in its semiconductor manufacturing processes, and that its latest flagship smartphones include components made from recycled fishing nets and other recycled materials. In short, the Korean giant "eats" ecology in a big way (even if removing the charger from the packaging of smartphones and tablets is not liked by many, including us), and it is not surprising that it is ranked so high in the BCG ranking.
