Northern Micro, in an effort to become more environmentally conscious has embarked on a number of programs over the years that pertain to environmental stewardship and comply with applicable laws and restrictions. These programs guide the organization to develop products that safely reduce or eliminate environmentally hazardous materials, promote a “reuse and recycle” End of Life Management model and improve energy efficiency.
At Northern Micro we strive for continuous improvement of our environmental system by incorporating the best possible practices through our waste management and IT products recycling initiatives.
We understand that the achievement of reducing the amount of pollution and waste into our natural environment must rely, to a large extent, on each individual member of the corporate team. As such, all employees, with the full support of management, contribute to the goal of reducing, reusing and recycling our products and the waste we produce.
In this regard, Northern Micro also works with committed partners that exhibit a focus on Sustainable Development and Green procurement. The following are some organizations and programs that promote safe Environmental stewardship and in which Northern Micro participates as part of its overall commitment to our environmental policy.
