Tell Samsung to Ditch Coal

Companies around the world are heeding the growing cries for climate action and divesting fully from coal. But Samsung Group hasn’t got the message, and is still building coal plants, providing insurance for existing coal plants, and funding dangerous and environmentally ruinous coal mining operations.

Hit Samsung where it hurts most—their wallets—and tell them you won’t buy any Samsung products until the company has divested fully from coal projects worldwide.

I’m boycotting Samsung products until you divest from coal

Dear CEO:

Samsung claims that it's "acting now for a sustainable low-carbon future." The company has even won awards for its sustainability practices.

So why are Samsung companies still building coal-fired power plants, providing insurance for existing coal plants, and funding dangerous and environmentally ruinous coal mining operations?

The U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has made it clear as day that we MUST phase out the use of coal entirely by 2050 if we're to have any chance of staving off the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

Companies around the world are joining the calls for climate action and divesting from coal. Samsung should do the same.

With the holiday shopping season quickly approaching, I want you to know that I will NOT purchase any of your products until your company, and all of its subsidiaries, have divested fully from any form of involvement in coal projects -- starting with the Vung Ang 2 coal plant. And I will encourage my friends and family to avoid Samsung in favor of products by other brands. This includes all Samsung's products such as cell phones and TVs, plus the products of Samsung subsidiaries such as sound systems by Harman, Mark Levinson, AKG, or Revel; kitchen products from Dacor; headphones or speakers from JBL or Infinity, or home products from SmartThings.

Thank you.
