As a branded PC vendor, Acer does not
engage in R&D and manufacture. However,
Acer takes seriously its responsibility toward
environmental protection and is acutely attentive
to international trends in this area. One issue
currently receiving worldwide attention is the
Kyoto Protocol, which Acer actively follows
up on and stays abreast of related information
and trends in order to plan a response strategy
beforehand.
In addition to actively staying abreast with
international environmental trends, Acer makes
every effort to design environmentally friendly
products in compliance with related international
and domestic regulations. This includes recycling
products, disclosing product environmental
information and providing guidance and
management on environmental aspects for green
suppliers.

laws of each country or region are met with
full compliance. The internal principles include
Acer Employee Code of Conduct, Jobsite
Safety and Health, Employee Care and Benets,
