TCL North America aims to uphold and share its philosophy of "The Creative Life" through its business activities. The preservation of the global environment falls into this philosophy, as we always look for inventive solutions to tackle significant challenges. Among these is preserving the environment, which is increasingly challenged by a growing population and the acceleration of climate change, pollution, and loss of natural resources.
We believe environmental stewardship plays an important role in our company and we proactively address the many challenges that affect our planet. In this capacity we work diligently to ensure our products are in full compliance with environmental statutes and regulatory guidelines, and continue to enhance oversight of the manufacturing process to remove hazardous substances, keep conflict minerals out of our supply chain, reduce energy usage, and increase the volume of our electronics recycling programs.
TCL Employee Giving
The United States hurricane season in 2017 greatly impacted communities
across many states, causing widespread damage and displacing millions of
people. TCL employees set a high standard for their generosity and
compassion in everything they do, and nowhere was this more prevalent
than in their giving. Employees banded together, and with TCL matching
dollar for dollar, thousands of dollars were donated to the American Red
Cross for disaster relief. There were no press releases or other
attention-grabbing headlines, and the employees deserve all of the
credit.
More recently, our employees started fundraising for the Emilio Nares
Foundation. With TCL matching donations, all of the money raised will
go directly to helping families navigate their child’s journey with
cancer. To learn more, please visit http://enfhope.org/. To help support
the lives of children living with cancer, you can donate below.
TCL is proud of its tight-knit employee family, and knows that they all
would stand up for strangers as much as they stand up for each other.
Investing in the Environment
TCL continues to increase investment in electronics collection and
recycling year-over-year throughout Canada and the United States. We
even back up our commitment to protecting the environment through
voluntary take-back in several areas and exceeding expectations in
others.
Our commitment also includes changes to our product packaging, where we
leverage new techniques to shrink carton size and product weight,
effectively reducing the company’s carbon footprint. TCL’s website
provides consumers with comprehensive information on how to recycle
electronics products in all 13 provinces, with links to province and
local territory agencies that can provide useful consumer recycling and
reuse information.
Leading by Example
TCL’s focus on a sustainable future is embodied not just in its
initiatives, but also in its dedication. The company is dedicated to
playing a role in shaping the electronics industry by lending a voice to
the implementation of constructive and long-lasting environmental
policy.
Through the company’s consistent sustainability efforts throughout
Canada and the United States, TCL is proud to be a member of Electronics
Product Stewardship Canada and to have earned a seat on the Consumer
Technology Association’s Environmental Policy Committee, with an
additional role on the Recycling Subcommittee.
We aim to provide a high level of service to our customers and in the
communities we serve, exercise strong, consistent, and responsible
product stewardship, and will continue to build on our legacy of
environmental responsibility in 2018 and beyond.
