Environmental standards are:
All required environmental permits (such as emission monitoring), approvals and registration certificates should be obtained, maintained and updated, and their operating and reporting requirements should be followed.
Measures should be taken to reduce or eliminate the emission and release of pollutants and the generation of waste from the source, such as adding pollution control equipment, improving production, maintenance and facility processes, or taking other measures. Measures should be taken to manage the responsible use of natural resources, including water, fossil fuels, minerals and virgin forest wood, such as improved production, maintenance and equipment processes, the use of alternative materials, reuse, resource conservation, recycling strategies or other methods.
Chemicals and other materials that pose a risk to humans or the environment should be identified, labeled and managed to ensure that they are safely handled, moved, stored, used, recycled or reused and disposed of.
Suppliers shall adopt a systematic approach to identify, manage, reduce, responsibly dispose of or recycle solid waste (non-hazardous waste).
Volatile organic chemicals, sprays, corrosive substances, suspended particles, ozone-destroying chemicals and combustion by-products generated during the production and operation process should be classified, routinely monitored, controlled and treated as required before being discharged. Suppliers should routinely monitor the operation of their air emissions control systems.
Suppliers are expected to comply with relevant laws, regulations and customer requirements regarding the prohibition or restriction of certain substances in products and manufacturing processes, including recycling and disposal markings.
Suppliers shall implement a water management plan to record, classify and monitor water resources, their use and discharge; seek to protect water resources and control contamination channels. All wastewater must be classified, monitored, controlled and treated as required before being discharged or disposed of. Suppliers should routinely monitor the operation of their wastewater treatment and control systems to ensure optimal performance and compliance.
