Plantronics and the Environment - Living Green
While Plantronics is recognized globally for many "firsts" in technology and product innovation, we are equally proud of our pioneering efforts towards environmental and social responsibility. For example, did you know that Plantronics was one of the first companies to achieve full RoHS compliance for products shipped to the European Union? Or that in 2006 Plantronics installed the largest solar project in Santa Cruz County?
Plantronics understands that many aspects of our business impact the environment and communities in which we live. Everything from materials used during the manufacturing process to food provided in the company cafés affects the health of our local and global ecosystems.
It's why Plantronics has a long history of environmental and social responsibility and has established a corporate philosophy to embed these values in our culture, global operations and business relationships. Companies can't simply state concern for the environment. They need to act on it in every phase of business and ensure it is a strategic element when making decisions—not an afterthought.
By combining this business philosophy with the vigor and commitment of our associates, Plantronics will continue to innovate green solutions and adhere to stringent standards that protect our land, oceans and fellow humans.
Worldwide Guidelines and Achievement
Plantronics develops, manufactures, and markets products that are safe to use and minimize impact on the environment. We seek to reduce waste and prevent pollution throughout the manufacturing process and the entirety of our product lifecycles. Our products can be reused, recycled, or disposed of safely.
Many governments around the world are putting in place stringent guidelines to improve the state of the environment and to help eliminate hazardous substances. Plantronics is a strong supporter of these efforts and has gone above and beyond the requirements to ensure that we are acting as a responsible corporate citizen.
