Sony designates as Green Partners suppliers that cooperate in the production of environmentally sensitive products.
Sony established the Sony Green Partner Standards in July 2001 with the aim of encouraging suppliers to introduce Green Partner environmental management systems.
In March 2002, Sony established a set of "Management regulations for environment-related substances to be controlled which are included in parts and materials".
Environment-related substances to be immediately banned or reduced were identified, as well as their applications. The regulations were enforced the following July.
Together with this action, items required of suppliers under the Sony Green Partner Standards were further clarified by introducing the "Green Partner Environmental Quality Approval Program."
MIP Packaging is a Sony Green Partner since the April 1st, 2009.
