Microsoft Makes Commitment to Manufacturing and Supply Chain Sustainability

By Dan Sytman, senior manager, Citizenship and Public Affairs

In a post today on the Microsoft Green Blog, Director of Environmental Sustainability Josh Henretig reports that Microsoft’s supply chain for hardware and packaging received a certification from the International Organization for Standardization, which “provides practical tools for companies and organizations looking to identify and control their environmental impact and constantly improve their environmental performance.”
 
Though Microsoft has a longstanding commitment to supply chain sustainability, including a strict Supplier Code of Conduct that requires Microsoft suppliers to demonstrate social and environmental responsibility, this level of certification represents a new commitment to minimizing the environmental footprint of our hardware and packaging.
