Statement on French NGO’s allegations

Samsung deeply values the global network of employees at all of our manufacturing facilities who make it possible for us to deliver our products to our customers worldwide.

According to publicly available information, the new proceeding is based on the same allegations used in two previous proceedings initiated by Sherpa in 2013 and 2016, which were both closed in favor of Samsung.

We believe it is our responsibility to hold ourselves and our suppliers to the highest standards of labor practices while strictly complying with local labor regulations and international labor standards.

Samsung upholds a zero tolerance policy with regard to child labor, both in our own facilities and those of our suppliers.
