Samsung Canada earns 13th award from ENERGY STAR® Canada for environmental stewardship

Samsung Electronics Canada is proud to announce it has received its 13^th award from ENERGY STAR Canada, a program administered by Natural Resources Canada, for its continued efforts to protect the environment.

Recognized this year with the 2023 ENERGY STAR Appliances Manufacturer of the Year award, Samsung Canada remains dedicated to making meaningful contributions to fight climate change by developing more energy-efficient products.

This year, Samsung launched SmartThings Energy, a new app that monitors energy use and provides recommendations to help users reduce the energy consumption of their appliances. For example, with AI Energy Mode in SmartThings Energy, users can monitor and reduce their washing machine’s energy usage.

“We’re proud to bring new innovations to market every year that enable more energy-efficient use of technology.” said Pat Bugos, Senior Vice President of Consumer Electronics, Samsung Electronics Canada. “It’s always an honour to receive this recognition from ENERGY STAR Canada, because it affirms our belief and the continued evidence that technological innovation can power a better tomorrow.”

“Congratulations to Samsung Electronics Canada on winning a 2023 ENERGY STAR Canada award,” said the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources. “Samsung’s efforts are driving innovation in energy efficiency, helping Canadians to save money on energy bills and contributing to the fight against climate change. The Government of Canada is pleased to support energy efficiency solutions as we advance to a sustainable and prosperous future.”

Sustainability remains a key strategic pillar for Samsung Canada. Over the last year, Samsung introduced 51 new ENERGY STAR certified product models. In addition, Samsung’s ENERGY STAR certified product portfolio now includes 100 per cent of dishwashers, refrigerators and front-load washers. This is one of the many ways that Samsung Canada continues to showcase its efforts to deliver a more connected and sustainable experience for consumers.

Additionally, other notable Samsung accomplishments this year include:

• Amplified ENERGY STAR initiatives via social media channels, including its participation in the ‘12 Days of ENERGY STAR’ campaign, ENERGY STAR Day, ENERGY STAR Awards, and an ENERGY STAR promotional offer on Earth Day.
• Partnered with influencers to promote ENERGY STAR certified appliances, gaining an impressive 130 million impressions across social media platforms.
• Highlighted Samsung ENERGY STAR certified appliances prominently at national retailer partner stores across Canada with in-store point-of-purchase materials.

This is Samsung Canada’s 13^th ENERGY STAR Canada award. Previous wins include: Manufacturer of the Year – Appliances 2023 (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021); Special Recognition (2022); Sustained Excellence (2020); Electronics Manufacturer of the Year (2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018); “ENERGY STAR Most Efficient” Promoter of the Year (2016); Collaborative Initiative of the Year (2012).
