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.

Except Apple is not 100% renewable. Purchasing renewable credits is not the same thing as being 100% renewable. The goal of course is to be 100% clean which includes nuclear energy. Samsung uses a lot of nuclear energy being in South Korea.
