2.4.5.4. Communication of environmental requirements to suppliers.
SCN, in conjunction with LEH&S, coordinates the
effort to inform suppliers regarding environmental requirements
on a regular basis. Environmental requirements are
transmitted to suppliers in an Environmental Requirements
Letter that encourages suppliers to:
establish and maintain environmental management system
practices;
implement DFE practices;
participate in product take-back, where applicable; and
provide environmental performance data.
Environmental alerts and requirements are also transmitted
via supplier newsletters and are available on a publicly available
web site designated as the ‘‘Supply Chain Portal’’ found
at http://www.scportal.lucent.com (under ‘‘General Use Documents’’)
