[Asia Economy Reporter Han Yeju] Samsung Electronics announced on the 14th that it conducted training on product chemical substance management methods for about 840 overseas partners over four days starting from the 11th. This training was promoted to expand 'ESG management together' with partners overseas as well.

Considering the scale of overseas distribution of partners, Samsung Electronics conducted real-time video training for partners in four regions: Vietnam, India, China, and Thailand.

In this training, Samsung Electronics explained to the product chemical substance management personnel of partners ▲global product chemical substance regulation trends ▲chemical substance management standards for products and parts ▲Samsung Electronics' Eco-Partner certification system ▲methods for managing chemical substances in partner parts and how to use the information provision system. In particular, Samsung Electronics enhanced understanding of the training content by providing lecture materials in local languages and conducting training in local languages, and offered practical guidance on inquiries felt on-site through real-time Q&A.

To this end, Samsung Electronics operated an in-house instructor training program for product environment managers of overseas subsidiaries in the four regions over the past two months. Through video training and face-to-face training invited to headquarters, they familiarized themselves with the content to be delivered to partners and prepared training considering local conditions, such as video training rehearsals and preparing training materials in local languages.

Jayakumar M, a pro at Samsung Electronics India subsidiary, and Onjira Jeamkitrung, a pro at the Thailand subsidiary, who participated in the in-house instructor training program, said, "Through this program, we deeply learned details about chemical substance trends and management methods, which was very helpful in supporting and guiding partners."

Kim Hyungnam, Vice President and Head of Samsung Electronics Global CS Center, said, "It is very important not only to respond to environmental regulations but also from the ESG management perspective that partners understand global trends and have the ability to improve the environmental quality of their own production products and parts." He added, "We will continue to carry out this product chemical substance management training, which has been expanded to overseas partners."
