"Samsung digging coal" refers to the operation of coal mines by Samsung Electronics Company, which has aroused widespread public concern and controversy. Samsung Electronics Group is one of the largest world-renowned electronics companies in Korea. Its main business areas include television, mobile phones, computers and so on. And coal mine is not its main business. Therefore, this move was criticized by the outside world as an act of speculating on short-term effects and making good use of the group's resources.

According to news reports, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Group holds a coal mine project, and the excavation site is located in Australia. Samsung Electronics has previously said that the purpose of buying coal mines is to stabilize its production costs. However, this behavior has aroused strong opposition from local environmental organizations and residents in Australia. They questioned that Samsung Electronics did not attach importance to environmental protection, and even thought it was a violation of moral and ethical standards.

Regarding the dispute over Samsung Coal Mine, Samsung Electronics Group has previously issued a statement, promising to follow environmental protection standards in the development process. However, the requirement of environmental protection is not directed at any enterprise, but to permanently protect the natural ecological environment. Therefore, environmental protection should not be just a slogan. Enterprises should undertake their own social responsibilities, actively take the road of sustainable development, protect the natural ecological environment and create better conditions for economic development.
