3/26/2024
Samsung Electronics America has been honored with 2024 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Awards by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The recognitions include our eleventh Sustained Excellence Award for Product Brand Owner for our outstanding contributions in protecting the environment through the development of energy efficient products and our second Sustained Excellence Award for Energy Management for our achievements in operational energy efficiency. Samsung is the only company to be recognized with two Sustained Excellence Awards in 2024.
According to the Consumer Expenditure Survey by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 10% of American’s yearly income is spent on utilities.1 However, by choosing ENERGY STAR certified products, a typical household can save hundreds of dollars on their energy bills each year – up to $450 according to the EPA. For this reason, Samsung continues to innovate in energy-efficient technologies and programs that that reduce the consumption of our devices and help our customers save money. In addition to a full range of ENERGY STAR certified products, we offer the power-saving AI Energy Mode within SmartThings Energy which saves up to 70% energy on select TVs and Home Appliances. We’ve also embarked on Demand Response partnerships that help people take advantage of cost savings when they reduce their household energy use during peak hours.
“The reality is utility costs continue to significantly strain household budgets. We recognize the challenges faced by consumers, and in response, we are prioritizing ways to help them take immediate action to reduce energy usage and save on their energy bills,” said Mark Newton, Head of Corporate Sustainability, Samsung Electronics America. “As a longstanding partner of ENERGY STAR, we hope to lead by example by pursuing innovative, energy-efficient improvements to our facilities across the U.S.”
