삼성전자의 지속가능 공급망관리에 관한 사례연구 = A Case Study of Sustainable Supply Chain of Samsung Electronics

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As the awareness of social responsibility of the stake holders increases, sustainability has become significantly important in the electronics industry. Therefore, developing sustainable supply chain is crucial for electronics manufacturers to meet their social responsibilities. This study aims to establish a sustainable profile of Samsung Electronics in regards to supplier selection in a specific country. The linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the relation between the 7 categories of the SSI and the number of suppliers in each country.
The results showed that human climate and energy and economy sectors of SSI are the only indices directly related to the number of suppliers worldwide, and this suggests that Samsung Electronics has more suppliers in the countries which record a higher level of consuming oil fuel or generating greenhouse gases as well as a lower level of economy. From the mentioned findings, we can deliver some practical strategic suggestions for Samsung Electronics for their supplier selection. They can be advised to be more willing to source from the countries more concerning the utilization of renewable energy, and employees’ working environment with the proper payment, and so that they can contribute to solving the global warming problem.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

기업의 사회적 책임에 관한 이해관계자들의 관심이 증가함에 따라 전자업계의 지속가능경영은 그 중요성이 커지고 있다. 이에 지속가능 공급망관리 (sustainable supply chain management)는 전자 제조업체들의 사회적 책임을 완수하는 효과적인 전략으로 활용되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 전자제조업체인 삼성전자의 사례연구를 통해 그들이 원자재와 부품을 조달받는 국가들의 지속가능사회지수 (SSI)와 해당 국가별 공급업체 수 사이의 관련성을 파악하고자 하였다.
분석 결과, SSI의 7가지 카테고리 중 ‘에너지 사용과 지구온난화’와 ‘경제수준’만이 유의미한 설명력을 갖는 것으로 나타나, 삼성전자는 석유 에너지의 사용이 많고 온실가스 배출량이 많은 국가로부터 조달받는 경향이 있고, 동시에 경제수준이 낮은 국가로부터 더 많이 공급받고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이 결과를 토대로 다음과 같은 제안을 하는 것이 가능하다. 삼성전자는 향후 공급업체 선정 시, 신재생에너지의 사용 비율이 높은 국가와 노동자의 근로환경과 임금수준을 보장하는 국가의 공급업체들을 선택함으로써 지구온난화문제의 해결에 동참하는 동시에 기업의 사회적 책임을 다할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
