Environmental Governance
Complying with environmental regulations
We strive to comply with all applicable environmental laws wherever we do business. In 2010, we had no significant fines for noncompliance with laws and regulations concerning the provision and use of products and services. Among the ways we comply:
- All of our integrated circuit (IC), Gobi and new European fleet management products are in compliance with the European Union (EU) RoHS Directive and perfluorootanoic acid/perfluorootanoic sulfonate (PFOA/PFOS) Directive.
- No EU REACH Substance of Very High Concern is used in the manufacture of our IC products, Gobi or commercial vehicle telematics products.
- Qualcomm Enterprise Services products manufactured and shipped for the European market are Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive compliant.
- Qualcomm CDMA Technology products fully comply with Phase 1 of China’s Management Methods on control of Pollution from Electronic Information Products (also known as China RoHS). Qualcomm chipsets will comply with the material restriction requirements that apply to the newly published catalogue-listed products.
