CREATING A GREENER FUTURE
At Thomson Consumer Electronics we are dedicated to the preservation
of our natural heritage and to a healthy and safe way of life for current
and future generations. This is a global effort which encompasses every
THOMSON facility throughout the world.
We believe that clean air, clean water, a protected earth, and healthy
people are not only practical and desirable goals, but achievable ones as
well. Our Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety Charter
acknowledges our commitment to protect these precious assets and
provides a challenging vision and guideline for conducting our business.
Below are a few examples of Thomson’s achievements in our efforts to preserve our natural resources.
Thomson has also increased its usage of recycled materials for packaging of our products. For example, in the
U.S. and Mexico our television plants use recycled content in our television cartons and instruction booklet.
The inks used for the print on cartons and instruction booklets is soy based and nontoxic. For a free brochure
