Environmental Responsibility

DSC believes that we have a responsibility to our customers, to the communities where we work and where we do business globally – to ensure that our manufacturing process is environmentally responsible and our products are environmentally sound.

As a result, we are committed to ensuring that our products adhere to all global environmental standards and legislation. In the absence of a set of universal standards, we work with the governing bodies across the globe to ensure that our operations meet or exceed the requirements for each market. The European Union was among the first to have established and approved standards called RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). DSC took a leading role in achieving RoHS compliance by eliminating identified environmentally unfriendly compounds from the manufacturing process. We are pleased to say that our product offering to Europe (and Korea for that matter) is 100% RoHS compliant as a result. In fact, IPC Association Connecting Electronics Industries® recently awarded certification to DSC for our Lead Free Electronics Assembly Process Capability Program – one of the first manufacturers to receive it.

In addition, our commitment to offering environmentally responsible products also extends to our customers in the other parts of the world. To this end, we have succeeded in converting over 90% of our remaining portfolio. And we will continue to monitor emerging environmental initiatives around the world as they are established.

DSC is committed to bringing reliable, environmentally responsible and quality products to our customers around the globe – for today and for our future.
