An actionable
sustainability
roadmap led by
experts

Creating a new roadmap to
achieve complete and
effective on-site

In July 2020, Samsung Semiconductor established the DS Sustainable Management Office as an organization directly under the head of Corporate Management Office to promote sustainable management tailored to the needs of the business. Each business division has also formed an individual office directly under the division head to implement sustainability in the field.

Performance evaluation and

compensation policies
to
include
sustainability

In 2021, a sustainability category was added to internal performance evaluations to motivate management and employees to incorporate sustainability into all areas.
As we continue to roll out sustainability practices to all areas,
we plan to develop and refine sustainability category items to ensure fair evaluations and compensations.
