Samsung Electronics plans to join as soon as next month a group of global corporations committed to 100 per cent renewable energy, a person familiar with the matter said, as partners such as Apple Inc push it for action against climate change.

"The entire group will announce its climate goals including RE100 around when the new administration kicks off," the source said, asking not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the issue. Yoon has also tapped Han Hwa-jin, a climate specialist and outside director at Samsung, to serve as his government's environment minister.

It's not just B2B customers like Apple, which buys its chips, or consumers who buy its Galaxy smartphones who are concerned about Samsung's action on climate.
