The global regulations relating to chemicals and chemicals in products are monitored by the central chemical management department under the Environment Department and shared with all subsidiaries (green chemistry team members) to meet customer requirements all over the world. Regulations governing the use of chemicals in products, as well as the risks and opportunities associated with compliance with these regulations, are assessed yearly by the Green Chemistry Working Group.
Product Related Chemicals Management
At Arçelik, we care about the safe process chemical management, use, transportation, storage, and disposal of chemicals in our entire supply chain to reduce the impact of our production processes on the environment and people as much as possible. We apply certain procedures to our products in accordance with Arçelik Chemical Conformity Specification and national chemical requirements. The procedures we apply cover issues such as supplier contribution, parts assurance, and labor. There are also EU directives and regulations such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) and the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), which are applied during the development of part of products and during mass production.
