About Eco-generation

Samsung Engineering established Eco-generation in 1996 as one of the largest environmental education programs for children and youth in Korea. In 2006, Samsung Engineering expanded the program to the Asia-Pacific region by launching an English Eco-generation (www.eco-generation.org) website in partnership with the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). www.eco-generation.org is a children?s educational environmental website that emphasizes learning and sharing knowledge about the environment.

With a 17 year history, Eco-generation is Samsung Engineering?s largest running CSR program, which has been supported by Samsung Engineering?s expertise in the environmental business. This will continue to be one of the company?s core initiatives to support and contribute to the new generation via environmental education.
