Samsung Group will pay 1.3 trillion won ($936 million) in supplier invoices ahead of schedule before the Chuseok holiday, aiming to ease cash pressure on partner firms during a period of heavy spending and to support domestic consumption.
Thirteen affiliates — including Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), Samsung C&T (028260.KS), Samsung Biologics (207940.KS), Samsung Display, Samsung Electro-Mechanics (009150.KS), Samsung SDI (006400.KS), Samsung SDS (018260.KS) and Samsung Heavy Industries (010140.KS) — will move payment dates up by about seven days, the group said on the 14th. The early payments are about 110 billion won larger than for last year's Chuseok.
Samsung is also opening online markets for the holiday to widen sales channels for small businesses and local farms. Seventeen affiliates, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung Life Insurance (032830.KS), Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance (000810.KS) and Hotel Shilla, will sell specialty goods from partner villages, produce from local farms and products from small businesses to their employees. Samsung employees buy about 3 billion won worth of goods a year at the group's Lunar New Year and Chuseok markets.
Thirty-one small companies that received support under Samsung Electronics' smart factory program will offer 53 products, including Korean beef gift sets and fruit. Samsung Electronics has run the program since 2015 to strengthen manufacturing competitiveness at smaller firms, providing support in 3,622 cases through August this year. Offline direct-sale markets will also be set up at some worksites.
Samsung has been broadening the scope of its cooperation and social contribution efforts. Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Jay Y. Lee said in 2022 that "Samsung must stand together with society," adding that the company "must share with and grow alongside customers, shareholders, partner companies and local communities."
In May, Samsung Electronics announced a plan to expand social contributions worth 5 trillion won. In July, Samsung Electronics, Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, Samsung Card (029780.KS) and Samsung Securities (016360.KS) contributed 200 billion won to the Samsung미소금융 Foundation to expand inclusive finance. Samsung said it plans to further expand support for partner firms and programs to revitalize local economies.
