Call for technology proposals for improving the environmental performance of TEL’s equipment
In response to global climate change and more stringent environmental regulations, TEL recently introduced a supply chain initiative called E-COMPASS to proactively meet these challenges. TEL is determined to act as a strong industry leader and follow its corporate philosophy “We strive to contribute to the development of a dream-inspiring society through our leading-edge technologies and reliable service and support,” TEL is making an open call to other companies and research institutions in our industry to submit proposals for new sustainable technologies and sustainable products for evaluation. This will enable a step toward the co-creation of values.
