[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced on the 25th that it will participate in the global lights-off campaign '2022 Earth Hour' at its domestic sites including Suwon.

'Earth Hour' is the world's largest climate crisis response campaign organized by the non-profit nature conservation organization 'World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)'. It is a lights-out event held every year on the last Saturday of March from 8:30 PM for one hour, where citizens worldwide share the seriousness of climate change.

Starting this year, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, participating in the 'Earth Hour' campaign, will turn off the lights at the main gates and major buildings of its sites on weekday evenings when electricity consumption is high as a preliminary event. This participation is expected to save about 300KW of electricity.

Additionally, to encourage employee participation on the day of the campaign, an 'Energy Saving Certification Shot' event will be held where employees take photos of themselves turning off lights with their families, lighting candles, or unplugging devices.

Jang Deok-hyun, CEO of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, said, “We deeply empathize with the importance of the global environment and energy saving through this campaign and participated together with our employees,” adding, “We will continuously carry out activities for carbon neutrality and practice ESG management, whose importance is expanding.”
