Environmental issues are becoming increasingly important in the electronics business and Option® has taken a leading role by committing the company to gradually eliminating any potentially hazardous substance from all our products. This not only supports our own commitment to environmental responsibility, but also that of our customers. Option®’s membership of the Sony Green Partnership is proof of the extent of this commitment.
In the electronics sector, the Sony Green Partnership is considered the gold standard for environmental responsibility. Sony requires all its suppliers to draw up a plan that will eventually eliminate the use of all potentially hazardous substances. By matching the requirements for the Sony Green Partnership a company guarantees full compliance with the most stringent requirements in the joint industry guideline (JIG) on hazardous substances and the European RoHS and WEEE environmental directives.
Full compliance with the strictest environmental standards
Option® was designated a Sony Green Partner in March 2007. Sony granted the certificate based on our Environmental Improvement Program which focuses on completely eliminating the use of any and all hazardous substance in our products and our production processes. Sony also audited our Chinese manufacturing plant, confirming that our environmental management system is robust enough to support our ambitious objectives.
