The top 10 initiatives of the Electronics activity of LACROIX to reduce its environmental footprint
13 February 2023
LACROIX Electronics
Immersed in a world where the environmental impact of each of our actions is increasingly under scrutiny, is eco-design or awareness of the environmental impact of a product in the world of electronics real or just an illusion?
For the Electronics activity of LACROIX, it is more than just a fad, it is a genuine desire.
As the shortage of raw materials in general, and of components in particular, has not spared the global electronics industry, there is an urgent need for all players across the entire electronics sector to mobilise.
Suppliers, EMS providers and customers, by acting together we can make our industry more environmentally sound. To succeed in a project, you must therefore factor in the environmental impact of the product as a criterion when striving for the crucial “Quality, Cost and Time” triptych.
