XP Power is pleased to announce that it has been accepted as a Full Member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC).
The EICC is a collaboration of leading electronics companies that promotes an industry code of conduct for global supply chains to improve working and environmental conditions.
The power conversion products we design and manufacture are the bridge between the electricity utility companies and the consumer, converting the energy from the grid and providing it in a form that can be used by electronic equipment. XP Power is therefore uniquely positioned to make a real contribution to energy efficiency and emission reduction and is leading the power conversion industry in terms of product efficiency.
XP Power has consistently raised the bar in terms of the power converter efficiency and has increased the number of high efficiency and low standby power products in its ranges significantly in recent years. (Standby power is the energy consumed by the power converter when the equipment it powers is idle and not operating.)
As a Member of the EICC, XP Power fully supports the vision and goals of the EICC. The vision calls for the application of high standards so we can create better social, economic and environmental outcomes for all those involved in the Electronics and ICT supply chains. This includes increased efficiency and productivity for customers and suppliers, improved conditions for workers, economic development and a cleaner environment for local communities. We aim to deliver these benefits through a shared approach to implementing the EICC Code of Conduct. This approach will reduce duplication, focus efforts on positive social and environmental change, build supply chain capabilities in social responsibility and employ a process that solicits feedback from stakeholders.
XP Power commits to progressively align its own operations with the provisions of the EICC code of conduct and to support and encourage its own first-tier suppliers to do the same.
Wherever possible, XP Power will seek to adopt the EICC approach and tools in practical ways in the spirit of the industry’s common goals.
