Environmental Factors

EB's own business operations mostly focus on the design, assembly and marketing of products. This represents only a minor part of the environmental impacts over the entire life cycle of the products. Products manufactured by EB have minor environmental impacts.

Elektrobit Corporation has had ISO 14001 certified management systems since 2001. The certification was updated to confirm ISO14001.2004 requirements in 2007 and enhanced to China in 2008.

EB is monitoring globally the environmental requirements for products and derived national regulations to the extent that they are related to the corporate operations. EB has also observed and applied the requirements of the ROHS (use of hazardous substances) including WEEE (recycling of electrical and electronic equipment) directives in design since 2002.

During 2009 the applied environmental standards and regulations in EB operations were consolidated as uniform EB substance list of which requirements were enhanced to cover also EB suppliers. The substance list includes also the requirements of so called ROHS2 standards application. The products or solutions that EB has partial or total responsibility shall apply the applicable environmental requirements, however, depending on the application scope. The imposed requirements will be observed in business operations on a country-specific basis.
