Samsung Electronics America received two 2023 Energy Star Partner of the Year Awards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on Tuesday.

The honors include the company’s tenth Sustained Excellence Award for Product Brand Owner for outstanding contributions in protecting the environment through the development of energy efficient products, and its first Sustained Excellence Award for Energy Management for its achievements in operational energy efficiency. The Sustained Excellence Award is the highest accolade among Energy Star Awards, and is presented by the EPA to entities that have earned successive Partner of the Year awards and display continued leadership by demonstrating long-term commitments to climate action through energy efficiency.

Samsung was the only company to receive dual 2023 Partner of the Year Awards, which were bestowed for its ongoing efforts to scale up energy efficiency across its products and operations while making a significant impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

“Samsung is committed to implementing innovative, energy-saving technologies in its home appliance, mobile and consumer electronics products, with the goal of lowering power consumption levels by an average of 30% by 2030 compared to like products released in 2019,” said Mark Newton, Head of Corporate Sustainability for Samsung Electronics America. “As a long-time Energy Star partner and recipient of the rare Corporate Commitment Award, Samsung is proud to receive these tremendous recognitions from the EPA and DOE. We believe our Energy Star collaboration to be paramount for our company, our customers and, of course, our planet.”

Each year the Energy Star program honors a select group of businesses and organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the transition to a clean-energy economy. Since 1992, Energy Star and its partners have helped American families and businesses save more than $500 billion in energy costs and achieve more than 4 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas reductions.
