Environmental Commitment
Rayovac are committed to a cleaner future
Maintaining a clean environment and conserving our natural resources are issues that concern us all.
Rayovac has a mission to create and maintain a working environment that is safe for our employees, the communities in which we work, and the earth on which we live.
The individual parts we play in our neighborhoods and on our jobs are critical to preserving these resources for our future and that of our children. It is the responsibility of every employee to incorporate the practices of informed stewardship in daily life. Waste, whether produced in the manufacturing plant, office, or home, represents environmental and economic inefficiency.
Accordingly, we should reduce our consumption of resources to levels reasonably needed, and we should reuse those assets where practicable. Finally, we should dispose of resources intelligently, recycling those that can be utilized economically in a different form. We must recognize, however, that recycling is not without costs, and that some recycling processes consume more resources than they save.
We all deserve to have clean air, safe water and adequate resources. As environmental stewards, we support this mission.
As part of Rayovac’s commitment to caring for the environment, we have signed up to the UNEP mercury eradication programme.
The mission of this programme is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and people to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.
Rayovac are an active partner on the case study ‘Economics of Conversion to Mercury-Free Products’ of which the UNEP are sponsoring.
At Rayovac’s suggestion, the UNEP are also looking at a working group to review mercury eradication from all batteries.
