As a leading global provider of innovative solutions for the computing, graphics and networking electronics markets, AMD strives to provide products and components that are designed with consideration for environmental, health and safety (EHS) factors to help customers decrease the EHS impacts of their final products.
Design for Environment, Health, and Safety (DfEHS) is a general design principle that integrates environmental, health and safety considerations into design processes to decrease a product's overall EHS impact along its life cycle.
AMD applies DfEHS strategies beginning with research and development programs and continuing into the design of manufacturing technologies. These strategies also are integrated into product design, where we can have the greatest influence on the products' EHS impacts.
Including EHS considerations into the product design can reduce a product’s impact during both the active use phase (by decreasing its energy consumption, for example) and at end-of-life (through reducing or eliminating hazardous substances contained in the product).
AMD is committed to working with our entire supply chain – upstream and downstream - to address the EHS impacts of our operations and products. We are members of the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and support the code of conduct and the goal of not only improving working conditions in the electronics industry supply chain, but manufacturing responsible products.
