On April 13, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offered Samsung the rare ENERGY STAR Corporate Commitment Award because of its multifaceted and longstanding commitment to demonstrating leadership and partnership with ENERGY STAR and mitigating climate change.

This year, Samsung is the only firm that has received the prestigious and rare award, which was last granted nine years ago. This distinction was created to recognize the few companies whose cumulative and superior achievements in energy efficiency span the breadth of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program.

KS Choi, President and CEO, Samsung Electronics North America said:

“Samsung is committed to helping mitigate climate change through our products, practices, and operations, especially in the area of energy efficiency.  We are extremely honored to receive this rare and prestigious award and commit to continuing to raise the bar on energy efficiency as an important part of tackling climate change.”

Samsung is decreasing the impact of the devices that customers love and demand through continuous efficiency improvements and changes in manufacturing, distribution, recycling, and repair. Since last decade, product efficiency improvements have enabled customers to avoid an estimated 270 million metric tons of CO2 emissions through the use of Samsung products.

These reductions are more than twice the greenhouse gas emissions required to produce these products during the same period. By 2020, Samsung has 303 ENERGY STAR basic models, including 100% tablet computers, front-loading washing machines, and dishwashers, 86% refrigerators, 78% top-loading washing machines, and 54% ENERGY STAR certified Clothes dryer.

In addition, Samsung has also improved energy efficiency through innovative cutting-edge products such as our next-generation refrigeration products, which won the 2020 Advanced Adaptive Compressor Emerging Technology Award.

Mark Newton, Head of Corporate Sustainability for Samsung Electronics America said:

“We are beyond thrilled to receive this tremendous honor from the EPA. We will continue to advance our sustainability efforts across the country as it is more important than ever to support initiatives that mitigate climate change and commit to business practices that will ensure a healthy future for all to enjoy.”

EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan said:

“ENERGY STAR award-winning partners are showing the world that delivering real climate solutions makes good business sense and promotes job growth. Many of them have been doing it for years, inspiring all of us who are committed to tackling the climate crisis and leading the way to a clean energy economy.”

Apple US DOJ iphone monopoly

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against tech giant Apple, accusing the company of maintaining an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market. The DOJ accuses Apple of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.

The suit claims Apple has restricted third-party app growth, limited cloud and game-streaming services, forced continued iPhone purchases for messaging, diminished non-Apple smartwatch functionality, and prevented third-party digital wallet use.

In a press conference, US Attorney General Merrick Garland highlighted issues such as the App Store’s fee system, degraded third-party accessory experiences, and relies heavily on Messages. The case, backed by 16 state Attorneys General, could have significant implications for Apple’s business practices and the broader tech industry.

The US DOJ said in a release about the suit:

Apple exercises its monopoly power to extract more money from consumers, developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses, and merchants, among others.”

Apple also responded by defending its innovation and user-focused approach, warning that the lawsuit could hinder its ability to deliver the seamless technology integration users expect. Check the entire response of Apple below.

At Apple, we innovate every day to make technology people love — designing products that work seamlessly together, protect people’s privacy and security, and create a magical experience for our users. This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets.

If successful, it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology people expect from Apple — where hardware, software, and services intersect. It would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering the government to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology. We believe this lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend against it.”
