Wärtsilä is committed to create and maintain a safe and healthy workplace, as well as to improve our performance to reduce adverse environmental impact. We expect equal commitment from our suppliers.
The use of hazardous substances in materials and chemicals is limited by various country legislations and international agreements. Hazardous substances may at some point of their life cycle – during extraction, production, use, or finally as a waste – cause harm to human health, human rights or the environment. Wärtsilä has to eliminate and restrict certain hazardous substances in its products to comply with these regulations, and provide to its customers information on hazardous substances found in the products. This information can only be collected with the help of Wärtsilä's suppliers.

As the Black & Grey list does not correspond to national regulations the most restrictive limitations of the national regulations and of the Black & Grey list shall be in force. The suppliers should regularly check updates to the Black and Grey list.
