From a report: The company has also joined the World Wildlife Fund's Renewable Energy Buyers' Principles and the Rocky Mountain Institute's Business Renewables Center. In its home in Korea, Samsung plans to install 42,000 meters of solar panels at its headquarters, and will continue to add approximately 21,000 meters of solar arrays and geothermal power generation facilities beginning in 2019 at its satellite campuses in Pyeongtaek and Hwaseong.

Why not?

Samsung is leading the way in renewables... like, for example, when it recycles Appleâ(TM)s designerâ(TM)s ideas! (Come to think of it, didnâ(TM)t Apple also announce they were doing this... earlier?) Do fresh ideas contribute to carbon pollution or something? Remember the side by side photo of the iPhone 3g and the thing Samsung made, that was, IIRC, the same size, shape, and general appearance, but with a rounded-rectangle-shaped home button, instead of a round one? Like that.
