ChipX has been certified as a 'Sony Green Partner' by Sony Corporation. This certifies that ChipX's environmental management system complies with Sony's specific procedures for reducing or eliminating environmentally hazardous materials or processes in ChipX devices procured by Sony. Sony established the Sony Green Partner Standards in July 2001 with the aim of encouraging suppliers to introduce products that are designed and produced to minimise environmental impact.

ChipX has been working with its package suppliers since 2003 to offer its customers environmentally friendly packages, and started shipping RoHS-compliant packages in early 2005.

ChipX's environmental management system was reviewed based on its environmental protection practices as well as process monitor and control systems.

'ChipX is dedicated to reducing the impact of potentially hazardous materials on the environment by working with customers and suppliers through the Sony Green programme', said ChipX CEO Amnon Fisher.

'ChipX's successful completion of this thorough certification process affirms the company's commitment to operational controls that serve environmental preservation'.
