Big Idea, Little Steps…

Environmentalism is a big word, with even bigger consequences. But you can break it down by doing the small things that are very manageable. Sansa and SanDisk are committed to being a partner in sustaining the environment, and they are taking their own little steps down the lengthy road of environmentalism.

• Through regular inspections and verifications of products, both existing and new, they comply with the restriction of hazardous substances directive.


• By limiting waste and promoting recycling within the company they prevent pollution.


• They voluntarily obey all legal and environmental regulations, which relate to environmental aspects of their activities, products, and services.


• Reviewing and setting sound environmental objectives and targets allows Sansa and SanDisk to work towards continual improvement in their reduction of the environmental impact of our products and activities.


• They offer internships and jobs within their Environmental Management System team, supporting new Green policies.


• By reducing product volume and weight, they reduce their transport-related energy consumption.
• Through improving the product and packaging design they lower their use of natural resources.


• They have removed all banned and restricted substances from products.


• When designing their products, they keep the final product disposal in mind, focusing on how their products will have an effect on the world in the long run.

All the little things everyone does add up to being a big help for our planet, so start doing your own little things, like biking to class or planting a tree. As you're doing those things, you can be rocking out to your Sansa MP3 player, knowing that Sansa and SanDisk are taking steps to sustain the environment as well.
