This study compares environmental policies of four major computer manufacturers, revealing key strengths and weaknesses in their environmental health and safety (EHS) programs. As computer use grows, EHS challenges in manufacturing will become increasingly prominent.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Business Management
  • Industrial Ecology

Background:

  • Growing societal reliance on computers necessitates examination of manufacturing's environmental impact.
  • Environmental health and safety (EHS) in computer manufacturing is an emerging, critical field.
  • Despite long-standing programs, EHS in this sector remains under-publicized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze and compare the environmental policies and programs of four leading computer manufacturers.
  • To identify relative strengths and weaknesses in their instituted environmental initiatives.
  • To underscore the escalating importance of EHS in computer manufacturing.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of environmental policies.
  • Detailed examination of EHS programs within selected companies.
