According to the first research report of 34 environmental organizations, such as Friends of nature, public Environmental Research Center and Dahl, Zhejiang nan du Power Co., Ltd. and the 121 children involved in blood lead over the incident of Fujian Shanghang County Jiao Yang Huaqiang battery factory source is quite deep: its initial public offering of shares and the IPO prospectus in the gem, said, Shanghang Battery Co., Ltd. in 2007-2009, has been Zhejiang South Power supply Power Co., Ltd. commissioned the most important OEM manufacturers. The company's website said, "the company ranked first in Singapore Telecom battery suppliers." "July 6, Singapore Telecom, through the business and Human Rights Resource Center, said," We will examine [environmental protection organizations] of the environmental tort problem, if Narada (Zhejiang South Capital Power Co., Ltd.) has been proven to have serious environmental violations, we will also consider reviewing its business dealings. "It's one months now and we still haven't received any substantial feedback from the company as of August 10," said Ma. Ma June said, to his irony, Singapore Telecom, through a third party statement, declared that "Singapore Telecom is concerned about and concerned about climate change," said Ma June, "Climate change is certainly an important environmental issue, but it is not directly related to the above mentioned cases of excessive heavy metal emissions to local children." After 3 months of waiting, Singapore Telecom's understanding of the problem remains so skewed that it is doubtful that its response is merely a delay and a perfunctory one. "Zhejiang nan du Power Co., Ltd. was also in 2008" by Vodafone as a global certification supplier.　　In the face of the same supply chain of heavy metal pollution in question, the United Kingdom Vodafone company attitude positive. July 5, Vodafone, through the business and Human Rights Resource Center, said: "Vodafone has expressed deep regret over the environmental pollution caused by the production of its suppliers, especially the health hazards of the people."　　Vodafone said Shanghang Huaqiang has never been a direct supplier of Vodafone, but once for Vodafone direct supplier of the Southern power supply, Vodafone for its first suppliers, that is, the south of the power supply, not timely identification of its suppliers Shanghang Huaqiang risk, failed to effectively monitor its supply chain expressed regret. Vodafone said the company was informed of the situation in April of this year, immediately organized the investigation, and in May to the south of the power to carry out another review. One of the results is that the Southern power supply has developed a plan for supply chain management, which requires the development and establishment of risk-control based enterprise responsibility assessment tools and audits of any high-risk suppliers identified by this tool. "Vodafone will provide expert support and assistance for the development of this tool in the South and participate as an observer in the South's audits," he said. We have also adopted this approach to other suppliers to help them gain experience in managing their suppliers. "Heavy metal pollution injuries have occurred since 2009, and this is the first time a large client company has expressed an apologetic opinion of the pollution caused by its suppliers," Ma said.。 Vodafone's statement reflects the company's commitment to corporate responsibility, compared with Nokia, Ericsson, Singapore Telecom and Motorola brands that remain secretive about the matter.　　In addition to Vodafone, Hewlett-Packard, BT and other 7 companies also to the environmental protection organizations to take the initiative to follow up.　　According to reports, Hewlett-Packard was the first to request the supplier of non-compliance problems through Third-party Audit, to the public to prove its rectification and environmental compliance, and has repeatedly called environmental organizations, hoping to be able to train their suppliers. BT in the release of the three issue of the report, the continuous strengthening of contacts with environmental organizations, the level of recovery has been increased. In particular, the company decided to select some of its first-tier suppliers to try to use publicly supervised data for vendor management. "This is the first it enterprise decided to extend the management of its supply chain to level two suppliers, if it can be effectively implemented, it has a demonstrative significance."　　"said Ma June. He said environmental groups will promote environmental management to the depths of the supply chain, including direct extension to major suppliers of materials, and the promotion of first-class suppliers to search level two suppliers of environmental performance. -(Wen/Zhang Yi)
