Environmental Working Group Charter

The Environmental Working Group Charter outlines the objectives and functions of the working group formed to integrate environmental considerations into the product lifecycle. The document details the purpose of the group, which includes ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, investigating sustainable practices, and measuring the environmental footprint of products. The scope of the working group encompasses various phases of the product lifecycle, including upstream product design, direct operations, and downstream delivery and end-of-life considerations. The charter specifies five key objectives, such as expanding environmental considerations across the product lifecycle, integrating regulatory milestones into the sustainability roadmap, supporting customer sustainability needs, measuring and monitoring environmental programs, and reducing the product's environmental footprint. Additionally, the document describes the functions of the working group, including identifying opportunities for improvement, defining success metrics, prioritizing initiatives, advocating for resources, allocating budgets, and evaluating progress against sustainability goals.
