In addition to that, our meeting rooms have been equipped with motion sensors to automatically dim down lights when detecting absence in the room.” To highlight the importance of embedding green technologies in a working environment, Jae Cheon Park, General Manager of Samsung in Saudi Arabia, added: “The concept of green technology emerged as an eco-friendly technical solution which can limit carbon emissions and global warming. To implement this concept, Samsung Electronics provided technical products as considerate solutions of their ecological footprint, by reducing costs and limiting energy sources to the best utilization methods.” He also pointed out that: “this direction not only drives positive behavior within Samsung but also respects our partners' wishes to preserve a sound environment, and have adhered to the growing importance of eco-friendly products and green technology. Samsung is constantly seeking new innovations to meet these conditions.” Samsung products are free of materials harmful to the environment and consume less energy thanks to its backlight LED technology screens.
