are resold or recycled in a secure and environmentally responsible way.

to adopting eco-friendly practices in all aspects of our business This program
is an important piece in Samsung’s larger “Partners in Innovation”
channel program which was designed to empower our valued channel partners with
the resources they need to provide their customers with the innovative products
and solutions they have come to expect from a global IT
leader,” Hutton added.
