Samsung Display Kick-starts ESG* Management with joining RBA Membership

Leave a comment

– Actively engages in corporate social responsibilities, befitting global companies

– Newly establishes the Sustainable Management Secretariat and the company-wide consultative body to carry out ESG strategy in earnest

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 21, 2021 — Samsung Display Chief Executive Officer Joo Sun Choi announced that the company will further boost its environmental, social and governance (ESG) involvement from 2021.

Samsung Display joined RBA membership to take the initiative among local display producers in driving ESG-centered management strategy in accordance with global trends.

"As a global leader in display industry, Samsung Display has been prioritizing environmental and social values in the entire process of product manufacturing" said Jaeho Shin, Executive Vice President and Head of the Display Management Office at Samsung Display. "Moreover, we will further evolve into a global company that earns trust from our customers and members of society, and that dedicates to the development and happiness of humanity" he added.

The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), the world’s largest industry coalition dedicated to corporate social responsibility in global supply chains, sets out and holds members accountable to RBA Code of Conduct based on a number of global standards to achieve a higher level of corporate ethics. Currently, RBA comprises more than 160 global companies including Samsung Electronics, Apple, and Intel.

With RBA membership, Samsung Display will gain the momentum to go beyond just conforming to the relevant domestic laws, and thoroughly incorporate global codes of conduct into its management strategy with regard to five critical sections of the RBA Code – Labor, Health and Safety, Environment, Business Ethics, and Management Systems. 

In particular, Samsung Display will continue substantial endeavors not only to domestic offices but also to global offices and its partners to fully embrace ESG-valued management based on RBA standards. For instance, the company plans to reinforce onsite audit and objective due diligence on management systems and working environment. More concretely, Samsung Display will undertake the Validated Assessment Program (VAP), an onsite compliance verification audit as well as get onsite assessment on its compliance to RBA Code of Conduct from reputable organizations.

In addition to joining RBA membership, Samsung Display is committing company-wide effort to bolster its ESG performance. For instance, the company newly organized the ‘Sustainable Management Secretariat’ and formed a consultative body on ESG strategy involving entire business departments. Moreover, earlier this year, in order to lay the groundwork for systemic implementation of ESG management plan, Samsung Display established mid- and long-term strategies in five focus areas: Climate change, Resource circulation, Sustainable products, Win-win collaboration with partners, and Local community.

* ESG: ESG refers to Environmental, Social, Governance characteristics of a company. It is used as a non-financial indicator that evaluates the company’s environmental and social commitment for sustainable development and the soundness of corporate governance.

FTC Solar Launches Voyager+ Tracker Supporting 500+ Watt Module Transition

Leave a comment

FTC Solar is taking orders for Voyager+ with support for large-format modules   

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 8, 2021 – FTC Solar today announced the release of Voyager+, the next generation of its single-axis Voyager tracker, engineered to provide compatibility with new large-format solar modules now entering the marketplace.  

The large modules entering the market are built to incorporate larger solar cells, which are the energy-producing heart of each solar panel.  With these larger 182mm and 210mm cells, the modules can achieve power output exceeding 500 watts. Voyager+ supports these larger format modules and will be able to accommodate multiple module sizes from a variety of solar manufacturers.   

"We are seeing an increasing level of interest around large-format modules and are pleased to introduce this new Voyager line to support our customers," said Tony Etnyre, FTC Solar’s CEO.

AI-based Platforms Transform the Global Water Sector, Finds Frost & Sullivan

Leave a comment

Technological advancements that require minimal maintenance or human interference become key value proposition differentiators in the water sector

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 26, 2021 — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Digitalization Powering the Global Water Market, 2020, finds that smart sensors with advanced artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-based data analytics platforms are on the rise in the global water sector as they require minimal maintenance or human interference. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the sector’s technological need following supply chain disruptions and a labor shortage during lockdowns, which adversely impacted the growth of the water market globally. Due to the pandemic, the global water market  declined to $805.31 billion in 2020 from $947.89 billion in 2019. The market was projected to reach $1,014.54 billion in 2020, registering an impressive growth of 7%.

"The water market could witness more high-level consolidation of data analytics platforms in the water sector. Cellular communication technologies, such as narrowband Internet of Things (NB IoT) and long-term evolution for machines (LTE-M), could become key enablers of growth penetration and digital transformation," said Paul Hudson, Energy & Environment Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Going forward, the product-as-a-service business model would become the most subscribed among customers for its equal risk allocation and ability to provide high value to customers."

Hudson added: "Smart decentralized water and wastewater treatment solutions are disrupting the market significantly. Low OPEX and holistic economic sustainability have become key drivers that enable the growth of decentralized treatment systems. Value-add services and solutions such as decision and predictive intelligence, along with a smart product line and effectively leveraging e-commerce platforms, could improve customer relationships and increase loyalty. These features have gained precedence due to the pandemic."

Despite the pandemic’s adverse impact on the global water sector, market participants can focus on the following growth prospects:

  • Hydration treatment systems market:
    • Filter-as-a-service: For price-sensitive customers, smart hydration treatment systems and solutions providers could offer the filter-as-a-service business model.
    • Flavor pack: To enhance customer relationships and brand loyalty, hydration treatment systems providers could add flavor and mineral packs as a value-add to their product line.
  • Municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment systems market:
    • Smart operation: Market participants must embrace smart operation and AI-based virtual assistance platforms that can significantly reduce the OPEX cost of a treatment plant.
  • Irrigation systems and solutions market:
    • Investment/mergers and acquisitions (M&A): Smart irrigation solution providers should invest in research and development (R&D) or M&A to provide holistic smart irrigation solutions.
  • Bottled water hydration market:
    • Leading brands are introducing recycled PET bottles to reduce plastic waste generation. Startups are experimenting with degradable plastics and paper-based bottles. Products with sustainable packaging will be in high demand.
