Common use of Conservation of resources Clause in Contracts

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.
