D-Link Issues Green Logistics Policy for Vendor Compliance
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA, Nov 16, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
D-Link, the end-to-end computer networking solutions provider for
consumer and business, has issued a Green logistics policy for vendor
compliance to support its continuing commitment to energy
conservation.
The first manufacturer to introduce Green design and manufacturing
processes, D-Link announced it will favor companies that support
Green practices and has issued energy-saving regulations to its
suppliers based on government guidelines, including the following:
-- Environment Management - D-Link prefers suppliers that comply with
ISO14001 regulations and get ISO14001 certification within a certain period
of time, and reviews their performance regularly.
-- Hazardous Substance Management - D-Link started with those substances
restricted by EU legislation in electrical and electric equipment, then
added restricted hazardous substances from other regions. Suppliers have
been requested to help monitor compliance.
-- For Waste Control and Recycling - D-Link also included the EU WEEE
Directive 2002/96/EC (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive)
into its product management.
"Around the world, interest in protecting the environment and in
purchasing Green products is becoming more and more popular," said
Tony Tsao, CEO and president, D-Link Corporation. "In 2005 D-Link
recognized the importance of manufacturing energy-saving products
using Green practices, and now is extending this initiative to its
suppliers."
D-Link is also committed to seeking greener designs and to convert
its current supply chain to favor companies that support Green
practices. D-Link Green(TM) combines these goals to include the
following:
-- Hazardous Chemical Substance Management - D-Link requires vendors to
maintain strict standards and separates the environmental management
materials as Level A and Level B, to minimize or eliminate the use of
hazardous substances in its products.
-- Energy Efficiency - D-Link Green products include a number of
innovations to reduce energy consumption and implement special power-saving
features. D-Link is also an ENERGY STAR(R) partner for end-use products
incorporating single voltage external power supplies.
-- Recycling - D-Link implements the 3R concept in product development --
Recycle, Reuse and Recovery -- into package design to reduce excess
packaging.
