Samsung Electronics has been internationally recognized for its commitment to ethical use of technology. The company announced that its Samsung Global Goals app has received the prestigious bronze award in the “Partnership or Collaboration – Responsible Technology” category at the fourth annual Anthem Awards. This award highlights projects that use technology responsibly to address social challenges, thanks to strategic partnerships that promote positive change.
The Anthem Awards have become one of the most comprehensive and significant programs in the field of social impact, celebrating inspiring initiatives from individuals, businesses, and organizations around the world. This year’s competition was particularly intense, with over 2,300 entries from 34 countries. In this context, being recognized for such efforts reaffirms Samsung’s commitment to responsible innovation.
Stephanie Choi, Executive Vice President and Head of Marketing for Samsung Electronics’ Mobile eXperience business, expressed her pride upon receiving the recognition. “We are truly honored that our commitment to the Global Goals is recognized by the Anthem Awards,” she commented. She underscored Samsung’s dedication to using technology to inspire collective action and promote a better future in line with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The Samsung Global Goals app, launched in 2019, has been a cornerstone for Samsung in its efforts to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. With nearly 300 million users on Galaxy devices, the app has mobilized millions of people, raising over $20 million to support UNDP initiatives. Through user donations, ads, and Samsung’s matching contributions, this tool has promoted progress towards the Global Goals.
The successful collaboration with UNDP reaffirms Samsung’s commitment to promoting positive impact through technology, demonstrating how innovation can be a catalyst for social change. The Global Goals 2024 Report offers more details on this partnership, and the Samsung Global Goals app is available on the Google Play Store for those who wish to join this effort for meaningful global change.
