Thomson Consumer Electronics is one of the first corporations to take part in a special program to improve our environment.

Thomson has committed itself to a voluntary initiative program through the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency. The program’s purpose is to reduce toxic air emissions and to promote pollution prevention.

Thomson’s involvement includes a concentrated effort to phase in new water-based paints to replace solventbased paints normally used in our manufacturing operations. The key benefit of these new paints is to significantly reduce air pollution.

Thomson Consumer Electronics remains committed to improving our manufacturing process through changes like these to help our environment. At Thomson, on-going efforts to maintain our valuable natural resources will continue to be a priority.
