Environmental Commitment

At ModusLink, we are committed to developing environmentally responsible, sustainable value chain solutions for our clients.  This commitment begins with self-examination of our own suppliers, materials, operations and workplace processes.  Our goal is to reduce the impact our business has on the environment and to be a leader in value chain environmental responsibility, thereby enabling our clients to achieve their sustainability goals in an operationally sound, cost-efficient manner.

To accomplish this, we will:

• Consider environmental concerns and impacts in our decision-making processes.
• Promote environmental awareness among our employees and encourage them to work in an environmentally responsible manner. 
• Reduce waste through reuse and recycling, and by purchasing recycled, recyclable or refurbishable products and materials where these alternatives are available, economical and suitable.
• Promote efficient use of materials, resources and energy throughout our solution centers.
• Work with our suppliers and logistics partners to conduct their operations in an environmentally responsible way.
• Avoid unnecessary use of hazardous materials and products and seek substitution when feasible.
• Seek guidance from the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct’s environmental guidelines.
• Expand our ISO 14001 certification to include all applicable solution centers.
  
• Participate in industry groups to set standards on environmental practices.
  
• Strive to continually improve our environmental performance by periodically reviewing our environmental policy in light of our current and planned future activities.
