The development of social conscience has provided new areas of production focus for Samsung to achieve value added features. Environmental issues are forefront in consumer product evaluation, as global emphasis on this issue gathers momentum. Therefore, product development has been driven to achieve componentry that contains recyclable and environmentally safe manufacturing. The Galaxy Young 2 contains bioplastic components that are produced with a mix of recycled plastic, normal plastic and resins, produced from natural sources. Furthermore, the combination of environmentally friendly packaging enables a lower carbon footprint and production savings (Samsung 2015a, p.107). The environmental valve add is carried into the full supply chain by the use of supplier certification, clean manufacturing, efficient logistics service and recycled packaging, energy consumption design improvements and green product recycling/disposal options (Samsung 2015a, pp.120-126).
Key Processes
The key processes of Samsung Electronics are identified as research and development (R&D) and manufacturing. The strategic nature to these functions of has enabled Samsung to become a market leader in consumer electronics.

Therefore, the formation of SAIT ensured Samsung’s control over product development, it now maintains 36 R&D centres around the world (Samsung 2015a, p.12), and aligned with manufacturing centres. Samsung had an $8.7 billion budget and a quarter of its workforce of 220,000 employed in R&D for 2011. The majority of new technology is developed in Asia and regional centres are involved in fine tuning those designs (Lev-Ram
