Conservation of resources. Minimum requirements for partners The partner must use natural resources such as water and technical resources such as input raw materials and energy consciously and as sparingly as possible in its procurement and own manufacturing processes, i.e. the partner must use efficient and technologically innovative solutions for the use of energy, production raw materials and water in its product procurement and manufacturing processes. Furthermore, the partner must inform voestalpine about its use of secondary materials at product level. Expectations for partners In addition, the partner shall decide to use secondary, bio-based and renewable materials if they are available and can be used according to qualitative and technical criteria. When using new materials, environmental due diligence shall identify risks, including unintended impacts on the environment and human rights. The partner should develop new secondary raw material sources through innovative processes or recycle raw materials to a higher value in order to make positive contributions to the circular economy. As a basis for this, the partner should ensure the high quality of recycling and compliance with the waste hierarchy for its own waste. For the quantitative assessment of the supplier's resource efficiency, the supplier shall provide voestalpine upon request with the following information regarding its total annual order volume with voestalpine and its affiliates: Total energy consumption in MWh; CO2 emissions from own and externally generated energy in t; Total water consumption in m3; Process wastewater in m3; Waste for disposal in t; Waste for recycling in t; VOC emissions (volatile organic compound) in t.

Conservation of resources. 13. The Lessee shall take all reasonable measures to conserve the resources of the Province and, except in an emergency situation, shall not, by any act or omission, cause or allow any Waste of petroleum or mineral resources or cause or allow any unreasonable damage to formations or deposits containing the same beyond that which is usual, customary and acceptable in skillful and proper operations of a similar nature.
Conservation of resources. In the agreement, the conservation of a sustainable fishery is paramount in importance, with Native food fishery second in priority. All parties involved in the agreement accept the fact that they have an interest in the fishery and consequently, have a shared responsibility to preserve, protect and enhance those resources for the benefit of future generations. Both the province and the Native community recognize that it would be advantageous to promote and xxxxxx co-operative intergovernmental relationships and to devise shared management strategies to ensure the overall co-ordination of fisheries resource Natural Resource Management Agreements in First Nations' Territories conservation. The ACFA does not specifically state how the fisheries resources will be managed except that conservation and ongoing management must be based on sustainable yield principles, to ensure the survival and viability of fish stocks for the benefit of future generations. This will probably be handled on an individual agreement basis depending on the state of the fisheries resource involved in the agreement. As far as managing the resource while bridging two cultures, the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) held by Native people, and the western scientific principles adhered to by non-Native people, the province is willing to look at TEK and consider sharing information. "But the way that I think it specifically might get expressed in a fishing agreement might be around the way in which the science of fisheries management happens - that the government is prepared to look at working together where we share our data and indicate or show how we think about fish, how we monitor and count them and keep track of them, and try to rehabilitate the populations. At the same time, ask First Nations to likewise share their methods with us- we refer to it as their traditional information - (it's) about the same thing so that we try to move away from the assumption that we are the ones that know, that we are the ones that have the real science, and get into much more information sharing about ...what we've observed. (This is) because we have only been doing hard science for a pretty short period of time, (so) that (other) information can be really important. It's often handed down from generation to generation in communities...important information for us to have."2 It does not take much to see the necessity of a co-operative intergovernmental relationship fostered among all governments h...
Conservation of resources. The supplier shall practise a systematic approach to the development of products and services that contributes to reducing the consumption of energy, water and other raw materials along the entire product life cycle. Avoidance of hazardous substances In order to protect life on land and in water (biodiversity), the supplier shall opt for environmentally friendly raw materials where possible. Chemicals or other materials that pose a risk if released into the environment must be identified and handled in a manner that ensures their safe handling, transport, storage, use, recycling or reuse and disposal. Reduction of waste The supplier shall seek to minimise waste and promote a circular economy by producing or using recyclable products and packaging as well as facilitating the return of recyclable materials for recycling. Moreover, the supplier shall ensure that waste is handled, collected, stored and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. In doing so, the supplier shall comply with the ban on the import and export of hazardous waste. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions The supplier shall effectively reduce the carbon emissions associated with its business activities. This includes facilitating consolidated orders where possible to minimise the carbon footprint of transport. Company environmental management system The supplier shall observe the legal requirements and international standards concerning environmental protection. The supplier shall establish an environmental management system or use a comparable system (e.g: 14001 / EMAS).
Conservation of resources. To the extent practicable and economically feasible, the Vendor shall utilize products and services that conserve natural resources and protect the environment and are energy efficient.
