Edwards – Corporate responsibility


EICC Globe

EICC - Edwards Membership and Commitment

To demonstrate our commitment to improving the social, environmental and economic conditions of our operations, products and supply chain, and to reaffirm our corporate social responsibility goals, Edwards has become a member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC).

The EICC has established an Electronic Industry Code of Conduct – a set of best practices which have been adopted and implemented by some of the world’s major electronics brands and their suppliers.

EICC sets performance, compliance, auditing and reporting guidelines across four areas of Corporate Social Responsibility:

  • Health and Safety Management,
  • Environmental Management,
  • Labour Practices and
  • Business Ethics.

For more information see EICC's website at www.eicc.info

Legal

Edwards always complies with its legal and regulatory obligations, but in addition we have a Code of Conduct which is our set of core values that ensure we behave ethically, with integrity, and with mutual respect.  In practice, what this means is all our employees are contantly striving to know and do the right thing.
