A Better, Healthier Planet Starts Here: Samsung's Sustainability Initiatives in Oceania and Southeast Asia

A Better, Healthier Planet Starts Here: Samsung's Sustainability Initiatives in Oceania and Southeast Asia

A Better, Healthier Planet Starts Here: Samsung's Sustainability Initiatives in Oceania and Southeast Asia by Sangho Jo, President & CEO of Samsung Electronics, Southeast Asia and Oceania. 

Sustainability is at the forefront of government, business, and consumer discussions and actions more than ever. Addressing the ongoing climate crisis and establishing a circular economy are without a doubt some of the most significant and pressing issues of our time.

Samsung Electronics are actively working to improve environmental sustainability for present and future generations. We believe that because of their unique size and complexity, their ongoing investments in environmental health have the potential to have a significant impact.

As a result, their organization's new global environmental strategy to address climate change holistically was announced in September 2022.

Their new approach to the environment includes commitments to achieving enterprise-wide net zero emissions by 2050, expanding the use of renewable energy, and strategic investments in new sustainable technologies to create a better, healthier planet for all, all with a focus on the outcomes and careful reflection of our business's complexity.

This new plan significantly expands the scope of upcoming programs and investments by building on Samsung Electronics' existing climate change efforts. The infographic that can be found here provides a helpful summary.

In addition, Samsung Electronics has joined the RE100, a global corporate renewable energy initiative, and the company intends to use renewable energy to power all of its operations outside of Korea and the Device eXperience (DX) Division within five years. By 2027, we in Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO) should be able to match the amount of electricity we use with renewable energy.

They intend to improve their electronics products' resource circularity throughout the entire product lifecycle under the new strategy. They intend to incorporate plastics recycled from discarded fishing nets into additional products, including the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Flip4. In addition, they will reduce energy consumption by implementing low-power technologies in major models of seven consumer electronics items, including smartphones, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, televisions, monitors, and personal computers.

Additionally, they intend to expand the scope of their e-waste collection system to more than 180 nations by 2030, from approximately 50 today. They also intend to collect a total of 10 million tons of electronic waste between 2009 and 2030, which is one of the highest industry targets.

Sustainability involves everyone 

This is an all-hands-on-deck effort that cuts across the entire business, including right here for us in SEAO. 

As we make progress toward eliminating the use of paper, the integrated global customer service system has been implemented at the majority of our Samsung Service Centers throughout the region. In addition, eco-conscious practices have been implemented at our Samsung Services Centers throughout the region. Documents from product repairs, service records, and receipts for customers are now sent electronically via email or message.

 

Customers in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam now receive their returned mobile phones packed in environmentally friendly materials. For instance, in Australia, customers can anticipate eco-friendly packaging that can be repurposed into a mobile and table stand and is made from 96% recyclable materials.

Reducing E-waste

E-waste ‘Eco Boxes’ are also available in over 180 Samsung Service Centers in SEAO currently, such as major cities like Auckland, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Sydney, allowing customers to conveniently dispose of their old mobile phones and recycle them in a proper way. 

A Better, Healthier Planet Starts Here: Samsung's Sustainability Initiatives in Oceania and Southeast Asia

Customers can also choose to use Eco Repair to replace only the defective parts of their product rather than the assembly modules to cut down on e-waste.

They collaborated with the technology recycling company Computer Recycling in New Zealand to reuse the gold, silver, and other metal parts of discarded appliances like televisions, refrigerators, and smartphones. These include old electronics that are taken from Papua New Guinea and other islands in the South Pacific, like Fiji, Samoa, and Tahiti, and sent to Auckland for recycling. Samsung New Zealand is currently looking to increase its recycling capacities over the next two years because the initiative has been well received.

In September, they launched the "Go Green, Go Galaxy" campaign in Singapore. This campaign offered additional discounts on Samsung Galaxy Watch5 series devices and the Galaxy Buds2 Pro to customers who chose to recycle their previous wireless earbuds and smartwatch at our in-store e-waste bins. Alba, their e-waste operator partner, collected these outdated devices for recycling and proper treatment, returning the recovered raw materials to production when necessary.

For the future, public education on the significance of sustainability must continue, particularly among our region's youth. This is accomplished through their regular outreach to youth, which includes their annual student competition, Solve for Tomorrow, which focuses on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).

Solve for Tomorrow has resulted in a plethora of cutting-edge creations pertaining to sustainability. For instance, in the High School Category for Solve for Tomorrow last year, the Team Eco Warriors student team from Hanoi, Vietnam (shown in the image below) won. By melting and molding plastic masks into plastic pots, their initial mask-recycling machine aims to reduce waste caused by the widespread use of face masks during the pandemic.

A Better, Healthier Planet Starts Here: Samsung's Sustainability Initiatives in Oceania and Southeast Asia

They take their environmental responsibilities very seriously at Samsung. Samsung is making this daring bet to ensure that it plays an active role in the protection of the planet for our younger and future generations, even though we are aware that the strategy of one company will not be an all-encompassing solution.

As they implement their bold environmental actions and targets in all markets in the region, they can anticipate seeing real, measurable changes to their operations in the coming year. They are optimistic about the changes they are making with their employees, customers, partners in the industry and government to make sustainability a part of their customers' everyday lives in Southeast Asia, Oceania, and beyond.

Simple, Meaningful Lifestyle Choices are the first step toward a healthier 2023

“Our brands support Filipinos as they take strides towards a healthier, more productive 2023. We believe that by making more mindful choices over time, more people can reap the positive benefits of adopting a more active, balanced lifestyle.” ~Frederick D. Ong, PCPPI President and Chief Executive Officer

New chances to make healthier choices come with the start of a new year. Although it may be difficult to develop habits that support one's lifestyle goals, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) encourages Filipinos to take even small, straightforward steps to develop habits that will last over time.

In addition to producing only popular beverages like Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, and Gatorade in the nation, PCPPI also bottles and sells Premier Purified Water. Premier Purified, one of the well-known brands of drinking water in the country, guarantees customer satisfaction by ensuring that its products pass stringent quality and safety tests and meet high standards.

PCPPI suggests five key tips to start 2023 on the right foot:

 

·     Explore healthier dietary options. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), adults should maintain a diet high in fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts and grains, but lower in salt, free sugar, and saturated fats. When filling one’s food basket, spend a few more minutes to check the nutrition labels. Developing healthy dietary habits may help strengthen the body in fighting non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer.

 

·     Integrate movement in your daily routine. The worst exercise routine is a non-existent one. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an adult needs 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week. That’s only 30 minutes every week day, so getting a few steps, skips, and stretches in may work wonders for one’s overall well-being.

 

Engaging in physical activities can also improve one’s self-esteem and cognitive functions, and can also help reduce tendencies for anxiety and depression.

 

·      Recovery is key. While physical activity and dietary choices are important in one’s annual health kick-start, getting adequate rest allows the body to recharge and reset. More than getting sufficient hours of sleep, medical studies suggest reducing one’s use of digital devices while in bed to help improve the quality of resting time.

 

·    Make time for mental health. Practicing self-care and kindness goes a long way. Taking a few minutes to pause and reflecting on the brighter side of daily life can do wonders when managing stress. One’s health also has to do with embracing mindfulness, patience, and compassion towards oneself and others. It may help to keep a daily journal, or write down three positive things that happened at the end of the day as forms of “self check-in.”

 

·       Drink more water. The CDC says everyone should consume eight to 10 glasses of water. Aside from preventing dehydration, doing so helps regulate cognitive, hormonal, and circulatory functions. Having a bottle of Premier Purified Water handy is recommended for proper nourishment even when on-the-go.

 

Other than Premier Purified Water, PCPPI is the sole Philippine manufacturer and distributor of Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Sting, Tropicana, Lipton, Aquafina, and Milkis. For more information about PCPPI and its brands, please visit pepsiphilippines.com.

Bike Scouts and Pizza Hut's #MidnightRideThruDelivery brings the sharing tradition to the streets of Metro Manila and Cebu

When pizza deliveries are made at midnight bayanihan-style by a group of volunteer bikers, Christmas happens. #MidnightRideThruDelivery by Bike Scouts & Pizza Hut brings the tradition of sharing to the street.

Christmas is a time of celebration when friends and family gather for a customary meal. Toasting the holidays, everyone is cheerful. However, the reality is that thousands of homeless communities in the Philippines are oblivious to the holiday festivities. Pizza Hut, Bike Scouts, and a unique advocacy called the Midnight Ride join forces here to cheer up these homeless communities.

Bike Scouts, a group of cyclists who came together to help with relief and rescue efforts in Tacloban after the province was destroyed by Typhoon Yolanda, was the precursor to the Midnight Ride. The group, which is now known as Bike Scouts Philippines, has grown to over 150,000 members and is a force for good—ordinary cyclists who are also rescuers and good Samaritans. The group's official name is Bike Scouts Philippines.

The Midnight Ride is one of the most well-known customs of the Bike Scouts. On Christmas Eve each year, volunteer Bike Scouts ride across the city to give homeless people food and gifts, bringing holiday cheer to those who need it most.

Pizza Hut, one of the nation's most well-known pizza chains, noticed the annual ride. They had been looking for a unique strategy for bringing the spirit of Christmas to communities with limited resources. Bike Scouts of the Philippines formed a one-of-a-kind partnership for the season through the efforts of Pizza Hut's advertising and communication agency, Havas Ortega Group. This partnership is known as the Bike Scouts x Pizza Hut Midnight Ride Bike Thru Delivery.

how this campaign became a true effort of collaboration. The Bike Scouts were given the task of pinning locations in Metro Manila and Metro Cebu's transient communities using Google Maps. The Bike Scouts x Pizza Hut Midnight Ride Bike Thru Delivery's impromptu delivery of Noche Buena meals to the homeless was marked by over 141 pinned locations.

During the holiday season, the public used the pins to help those in need by giving them food and holiday cheer. The outcome was a scattering of joyful gatherings all over the city, bringing hope, love, and the Christmas spirit to areas where there had previously been none.

Despite the difficult year that has passed, there is always a chance to make someone's day, and this is especially true during the Christmas season. A pizza chain and a group of volunteer bikers were all that was needed for one memorable ride at midnight on one extraordinary night.

ABB MV Sensors Features and Benefits

According to Cesky, ABB’s advanced sensors are helping customers to deliver a safe and sustainable power supply 24/7. It has an easy and fast engineering process, short delivery time, flexibility, and reliability. 

ABB’s MV sensors are also designed for applications which provide increasing levels of remote control and communication, key to helping industries and utilities to integrate higher levels of renewable energy resources to reduce emissions and cut energy costs.

Harlem Tsai, Digital Substation Product - Global Product Marketing Manager (SAS region), ABB Finland

Addressing the Rising Demand for MV Sensors

Demand for the product has doubled since 2018 and is expected to increase significantly over the next five years. This prompted the company to invest 1.1 million USD in a new, state-of-the-art sensor production line at its Brno Instrument Transformers and Sensors factory in the Czech Republic.

His Excellency Alain Gaschen, Swiss Ambassador to the Philippines, delivers a congratulatory message during ABB's trade launch

At 15,000 sq. Brno is currently the largest facility of its kind in the world by meters. By 2026, the new production line will increase production of Medium Voltage (MV) sensors by almost 100 percent, reaching 100,000 units annually.

Installations all over the world have utilized Brno factory sensors, including a recent project in which 12,000 sensors were installed to improve the energy efficiency and stability of the electricity grid in Northern Cairo. Due to their smaller size and safer use, they are ideal for replacing older instrument transformers.

Lukas Cesky, Product Specialist, MV Instrument Transformers and Sensors, ABB Czech Republic

The new automated production line at Brno will increase its capacity to produce a record-breaking number of sensors annually in response to rising demand for digital switchgear and the overall push to incorporate more renewable energy sources.

The ever-increasing use of MV switchgear is driving a record amount of demand. From the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper, 828 meters above Dubai to the depths of the London Underground, MV switchgear from ABB's other production plant in Brno has been used in installations all over the world.

The vast ABB Brno plant, which has been in operation for 135 years and employs nearly 2000 people, has seven distinct units spread out across two locations. This includes the European's largest Medium Voltage Switchgear factory and the Instrument Transformers and Sensors factory.
