Samsung's Greater China president said that in previous years, the company's contributions to China were mainly on the economic level such as factory construction, job opportunities, and taxes; however, starting from 2013, Samsung will enhance its activities in environmental protection and social welfare sectors.
Based on Samsung Group's strategy for 2013, Samsung China announced that it will develop youth-oriented new welfare projects. In addition, Samsung China designated March as its welfare month and various welfare activities will be launched during the month.
