ECS plans to fulfill environmental protection, community and customer requirements through different international environmental directives. This plan will be carried out throughout the product lifecycle, from the design phase, to production phase, to recycle phase. Its content includes different ECS Green Solutions, which are implemented from the design phase, and adopts and enacts the following environmental protection concepts: Green Design, Green Supply Chain, Green Products, Green Factories and Recycling.

Obtained Global Environmental Quality Certifications

	Certification LOGO Certification Name Notes ISO 14001 Environmental management verification through a third party (e.g. Standard Inspection Service), Evaluate suppliers’ entire quality management systems based on compliance with ISO 14001. ISO 9001 Quality management system verification through a third party (e.g. Standard Inspection Service), Evaluate suppliers’ entire quality management systems based on compliance with ISO 9001. OHSAS 18001 OHSAS 18001 is an internationally-recognized occupational health and safety management system verification plan. Coupled with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, it creates effective method to comply with standards set by safety and health regulations. IECQ QC080000 Created by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the Electronic Components Certification Board (ECCB) to establish a comprehensive quality evaluation standard for electronic components. Energy Star v5.0 Regulation created by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reduce power consumption by computers and their related components. Its goal is to save energy reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electronic products. *Footnote 1 。 USA EPEAT Silver Products registered with the EPEAT system, must comply with 23 environmental evaluation items and must offer energy-saving, easily-upgraded and easily-recycled components that comply with environmentally-friendly and easy-recyclability regulations. Therefore, greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming can be reduced.

Response to Specialized Global Environmental Certifications

	ECS Specialized Environmental Standard Logos Certification Name Notes ECS RoHS ECS adheres to green design, green supply chain, green products, green factories and green recycling procedures and refuses to use Pb, Cd, Hg, Cr(VI), PBBs, PBDEs and other toxic substance. ECS EuP ECS considers the power consumption and other environmental factors of every stage of a product lifecycle. It has created a solid green supply chain management system that includes choice of materials and functions, product manufacturing processes, product packaging, transportation and delivery, product usage, maintenance and disposal. These procedures are all carried out to achieve the goals of environment protection and care for the Earth.

*Footnote 1
International Energy Star Certification Plan – Due to the risk of global warming and environmental destruction, the US Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Energy teamed up with manufacturers, retailers and enterprises in 1992 to promote a voluntary industry cooperation program.  The hope was that the Energy Star standard would popularize energy-saving products, change ideas about consumption by the masses, promote energy conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by electronic devices.  The US Environmental Protection Agency announced this regulation to reduce energy used by computers and their related devices.  Computers and peripherals that comply with these standards carry the Energy Star logo.    



All products developed and produced by ECS have passed Energy Star energy-saving tests and carry the Energy Star logo.
