Our vision at Eastman Kodak Company is to make measurable improvements in the health, safety and environmental aspects of our products, services and operations - and to do so continually.

To realize this vision, all Kodak operations and employees around the world work together to protect the quality of the environment and the health and safety of our employees, customers, and neighbors.

As a strategic framework to keep us on the path to our goals, we have established a company Health, Safety and Environmental Policy and Guiding Principles based on a series of Corporate Responsibility Principles.

It is the policy of Eastman Kodak Company to carry out its business activities in a manner consistent with sound health, safety, and environmental management practices and to comply with applicable health, safety, and environmental laws and regulations. The company will produce and sell products which, when manufactured, handled, transported, used and disposed of in accordance with appropriate labeling and product literature, are safe for employees, customers, and others. Eastman Kodak Company will strive to construct and operate its facilities and conduct its operations in such a way as to protect people, the communities in which it does business, company assets, and the uninterrupted flow of products and services, from dangers such as fires, explosions, and natural hazards.

Company managers and supervisors are responsible for establishing and continually improving management systems to implement this policy, including creation and maintenance of a clean, healthful, and safe workplace for our employees, protection of company assets, prevention of pollution, using energy and other natural resources efficiently, and for compliance with Kodak's Performance Standards, applicable laws and regulations, and other external requirements to which the company subscribes.
