Key News Highlights:
- Seven consecutive years of verified carbon neutrality, covering all Scope 1 and 2 emissions and significant elements of Scope 3.
- Direct investment in on-site solar power at headquarters and manufacturing operations.
- Shift from certification-led accounting toward infrastructure-based emissions reduction.
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Dec. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PT Mowilex Indonesia has marked seven consecutive years of verified carbon neutrality, reflecting a long-term and disciplined approach to emissions management while accelerating its transition toward permanent, infrastructure-based reductions.
Since first verifying its carbon footprint in 2018, Mowilex has expanded the scope and rigor of its carbon accounting to include all Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, as well as significant elements of Scope 3. This has required progressively tighter operational boundaries, deeper engagement with suppliers, and closer integration of carbon management into operational and energy planning.
Emissions calculations are independently verified by SCS Global, in line with internationally recognized greenhouse gas accounting standards.
"Over time, carbon management has moved from being a reporting exercise to something that directly informs how we plan energy use, manage operations, and prioritize investments," said Yossy Tresinya Prameswari, Chief Supply Chain Officer of Mowilex Indonesia. "That shift has been essential in making emissions reduction practical and repeatable, not just aspirational."
Electricity represents the largest share of Mowilex's energy use, accounting for approximately 71 percent of total consumption. To address this, the company ensures that purchased electricity across its operations is matched with certified renewable energy sources, while simultaneously investing in on-site renewable generation to reduce reliance on the grid.
In 2025, Mowilex completed a large-scale rooftop solar installation at its Cikande manufacturing facility, designed to reduce plant electricity consumption by up to 25 percent. Earlier investments include rooftop solar installations at the company's Head Office, which have been supplying renewable electricity since 2023 and currently cover up to 25 percent of the building's power needs.
"We cover all Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and we include the parts of Scope 3 we can credibly measure today," said Niko Safavi, CEO of Mowilex Indonesia. "Scope 3 is the hardest part — anyone in manufacturing knows that — but ignoring it does not make it disappear. Real progress comes from execution and infrastructure, not certificates alone."
To further strengthen transparency and consistency, Mowilex has transitioned its carbon accounting framework to ISO 14064, an internationally recognized standard for greenhouse gas reporting.

Mowilex Marks Seven Years of Verified Carbon Neutrality, Accelerates Permanent Emissions Reduction
Samsung TV aims to be the first to launch Google Photos features in 2026, debuting with memories on the big screen for the first time, while create and personalized results capabilities roll out later in the year
SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that they are working to bring Google Photos to Samsung TVs to give users a seamless way to enjoy the moments that matter most, from trips and hobbies to everyday memories with loved ones—now on an immersive and larger screen. The experience aims to offer families a delightful and meaningful way to rediscover their favorite memories together.[1]
"Samsung TVs have always brought people together, and bringing Google Photos to the big screen makes that experience even more personal," said Kevin Lee, Executive Vice President of the Customer Experience Team at the Visual Display (VD) Business of Samsung Electronics. "Through this partnership, we help users rediscover and relive cherished moments by bringing to light the stories behind their photos—right from the comfort of their living room."
A More Meaningful Way to Enjoy Personal Photos
Google Photos makes reliving and sharing special memories easy. With the planned integration, it will seamlessly bring the photos people capture on their phones to Samsung TVs, where they can appear in a larger, cinematic format.
Through the proposed integration, users can explore curated memories on their TVs organized by people, places, and meaningful moments. Google Photos will also expand the suite of photo-driven experiences that integrate with Samsung's Vision AI Companion (VAC), enriching how memories are highlighted and enjoyed throughout the day.
Samsung wants Google Photos to be deeply woven into the TV experience. Imagine Photos surfacing naturally through Daily+ and Daily Board, ensuring that meaningful memories[2] greet users throughout their day in contextual and convenient moments. The setup should be simple—users sign in with their Google Account, and their photo memories instantly appear on the big screen.[3]
Three Ways to Relive and Rediscover: Memories, Create and Personalized Results
- Memories (planned to launch exclusive in early 2026): Shows curated stories based on people, locations, and meaningful moments for the first time on TV, available first and exclusively on Samsung TVs for six months.[4]
- Create with AI (planned to launch later in 2026): Introduces themed templates[5] built on Nano Banana, Google DeepMind's image generation and editing model, featuring playful and fun transformation. Users can also utilize Remix to transform the art style of an image, or Photo to Video to bring still moments to life as short videos.
- Personalized Results (planned to launch later in 2026): Users may view related photos as a slideshow based on topics or contents of memories e.g. ocean, hiking, Paris, etc.
A Seamless Way to Experience Memories on Samsung TV
Samsung and Google Photos want to bring a cinematic gallery experience to the heart of the home, enabling Samsung TV users to browse and relive their most important moments in stunning detail. This integration will transform personal photo libraries into a space where users are invited to explore their journey, create new stories, and reminisce over cherished memories with depth and simplicity.
"Google Photos is a home for people's photos and videos, helping them organize and bring their memories to life," said Shimrit Ben-Yair, Vice President, Google Photos and Google One. "We're excited to bring Google Photos to Samsung TVs—helping people enjoy their favorite photos on a larger screen and reconnect with their memories in new ways."
