Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Supplier Expectations

Carestream Health expects that its suppliers will conduct their business in compliance with their local environmental, health, and safety regulations. Products supplied to Carestream Health are to be in compliance with national and international regulations. Suppliers are encouraged to use life cycle thinking to minimize environmental, health, and safety impacts as they

select materials that are environmentally considerate and reusable/recyclable
manufacture products in a way that protects employees and eliminates waste
package products for shipment with recycled materials and that can be recycled or reused
consider use of their products by Carestream Health and our customers
identify product disposal options that enable maximum reuse or recycling

Carestream Health must be able to demonstrate environmental, health, and safety compliance of end-use products to our customers and to regulatory authorities. To do this, we must obtain data and declarations from our suppliers and expect that our suppliers are actively working with their suppliers to ensure compliance traceability throughout the supply chain. Accurate data is necessary in order to pay appropriate material collection and disposal fees. Carestream Health uses internationally recognized material declaration questionnaires and other survey methods in order to obtain this data.
