Zendure Statement – Environment & Product Sustainability

1. Goal and approach

2. Environmental management and compliance

• integrating environmental and compliance requirements into product planning, design reviews, supplier management, and quality processes;
• identifying and managing environmental impacts, risks, and improvement opportunities regarding climate, resources, chemicals, waste, and water;
• setting relevant requirements for supply chain partners within their scope of responsibility where appropriate;
• supporting implementation with training, audits, and continuous improvement.

3. Climate and energy (focus on usage phase)

• enabling the storage and control of distributed renewable energy through product and system design;
• improving operational efficiency while maintaining safety and performance (e.g., reducing unnecessary losses);
• supporting compliant intelligent energy management that, depending on the situation, can reduce peak-price grid consumption and increase self-consumption. Results depend on local tariffs, behavior, solar conditions, and system configuration. Zendure also improves energy management within its own organization and increases the use of renewable or lower-carbon electricity where feasible and available, depending on local circumstances.

4. Circularity, packaging, and end-of-life

• a preference for recyclable and compliant materials and reduced unnecessary material complexity;
• better durability and, where possible, support for reasonable maintenance and repair;
• reduction of packaging and logistics impact (optimized structure, less wasted space, improved recyclability, fewer single-use materials where possible);
• compliance with applicable safety and regulatory requirements for battery-powered products, including transport regulations. End-of-life/take-back: options vary by country/region, product category, and local compliance schemes/authorized partners. Where legally and practically available, Zendure supports proper collection and processing via compliant partners.

5. Restricted substances and prevention

• ensuring relevant material compliance (e.g., RoHS/REACH where applicable) through supplier onboarding and material management;
• encouraging suppliers to identify, substitute, and control processes, with declarations or test evidence where required;
• preventatively managing and disposing of waste, emission, and leakage risks in production, storage, and logistics in compliance with regulations.

6. Evidence, transparency, and legal status

• Substantiation: for specific environmental claims in external communications, Zendure maintains appropriate evidence and defines scope, conditions, and limitations.
• No general “green” claims: Zendure avoids broad/absolute statements without substantiation or with a risk of misleading.
• Non-binding: this statement describes goals and management approaches and does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or legally binding obligation, unless explicitly set out in a separate written agreement.

7. Updates and language precedence
