International Desk, Apr 30, 2008
Zyxel Communications, a broadband access solutions provider, announced that its green initiatives have found recognition in the CG (Clean & Green) Watch 2007 report, released by Asian Corporate Governance Association (ACGA) and CLSA Limited. The company has been ranked second place in Asia's "Green Enterprises" out of 582 companies.
Zyxel shares second place with prestigious international enterprises, including Hong Kong's HSBC and Japan's Sharp, NEC and Toyota. Within Taiwan, however, Zyxel is second to none.
The survey conducted by ACGA and CLSA toward major Asian enterprises emphasizes environmental awareness from top executives, the companies' understanding and response to environmental issues, relevant policy declarations to investors and the surrounding communities, as well as the companies' future projections. Zyxel was able to win high scores on its environmental policies and in-house designed "green management" techniques.
"With social responsibility being a part of Zyxel's core corporate values, we have always strived to be a green enterprise. We always pay special attention to environmental care without any reservations," said Dr. Yuh-Long Chen, Zyxel's president.
The company not only makes its operations comply fully with the 3 EU directives - WEEE (Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment), RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and the recent EuP (Eco-Design Requirements for Energy Using Products), but also enforces the policy when dealing with suppliers.
The company employs energy-efficient, waste-reducing, lightweight materials that are toxin free and easily recyclable in product design and listed in complied "Green Products databases". Zyxel regularly generates 3R (Reuse, Recycle and Recovery) and disassembly reports on the recycling processes for end-of-life products, outlining related achievement targets and successes. The "Environment Design Declaration" is also published on its website for branch offices and distributors to observe in order to build a comprehensive recycling management model.
In addition, the company has also established a "WEEE Registration Control and Management Platform" to assist and manage its branch offices and distributors in registering with the environmental authorities of their respective countries.
