In recent times, companies' social contributions have undergone a change from mere philanthropy to activities for creation of shared value (CSV); here, companies simultaneously generate profits in addition to social values. Samsung SDI is of the view that contribution to, and communication with, society is a precondition for being a global world-class brand. Samsung SDI ensures that its local and key overseas sites contribute to the local community. Social contribution programs, for the company, serve as a means to communicate with and develop the local community.

Free Eye Treatment Project

Among the oldest of Samsung's social contributions is the Free Eye Treatment Project, begun in 1995 with the assistance of Siloam Eye Hospital, for the benefit of poor visually-impaired persons.

Hold the Nanuri Marathon Race

Samsung SDI has hosted, since 2005, the 'Nanuri Marathon Race', wherein its employees participate for supporting local communities' malnourished children. The donation, since the year 2008, has been directed towards aiding college admission fees for low-income students (Gongse-Ro Giheung-Gu & Gyeonggi-Do, 2014).

Further, Samsung in its philosophy, does not cite any values considered in evaluation; it states them separately:

People

Excellence

Change

Integrity

Co-prosperity

The firm should have included its values integrity, co-prosperity (in other words, citizenship) and excellence in the mission statement. Samsung's philosophy, overall, is ineffective in depicting its key purpose to stakeholders (Jurevicius, 2013; Samsung, 2013).

The company also has a statement for its Vision: "Inspire the World, Create the Future," which reflects its assurance to inspire communities through leveraging of its major three strengths, namely, Novel Technology, Creative Solutions and Cutting-edge Products as well as to promote fresh value for its key networks -- Industry, Employees and Partners. Samsung, via these efforts, endeavors to play a role in providing a richer customer experience, and 'bettering' the world.
