Environmental Management and Monitoring SystemsSuppliers must have environmental monitoring systems which accurately measure and track operational and production impacts to air, water and any other environmental system which may be deemed necessary.
Water Stewardship
Suppliers must identify, characterize and inventory all wastewater streams on an ongoing basis. In addition, suppliers must install and maintain appropriately sized wastewater treatment systems to ensure pollutants are at or below legally required levels. We will not tolerate suppliers with undersized, bypassed, or inoperable wastewater treatment systems.
Waste Reduction & Disposal
Suppliers must handle, store, transport, and dispose of hazardous waste legally. We will not tolerate suppliers that engage in illegal waste dumping. We seek suppliers who demonstrate they actively work to reduce waste throughout the production process.
Energy Management
With respect to both production facilities and processes, suppliers must identify all applicable energy sources and energy consumption. Suppliers must also periodically set clear goals to improve energy efficiency and document progress made toward achieving those goals.
Emissions to Air
With respect to both production facilities and processes, suppliers must monitor and document all air emissions in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, suppliers must install and maintain appropriate air emissions control devices to ensure air emissions’ pollutants are at or below legally required levels.
Licenses and Permitting
Suppliers must acquire and maintain all legally required environmental permits and business operating licenses necessary for the production of their products and operation of their facilities. We will not tolerate suppliers operating without valid current permits.
