Our Environmental Policy also covers resource outflows, stating that we strive to minimize generation of waste from our business by including circularity principles, such as durability, repairability, recyclability and ease-of-disassembly, into the design of our products. The policy also states that in terms of management of products in-market or at end-of-life, we strive to recover or maintain value through services and partnerships that support reuse, refurbishment or recycling of products or components through enabling remanufacturing, refurbishment, repair, out-of-warranty takeback schemes and as-a-service leasing models.
