Hasbro has had a robust plan in place for many years and continues to integrate sustainability objectives into Company operations, including a well-established global EHS management system. We have, and will continue to, seek ways to reduce waste, promote recycling, and increase efficiency of energy and water use in our facilities.

Our commitment includes specific short- and long-term goals at our own manufacturing sites, including solid waste reduction goals, paper and chipboard recycling goals, plastic recycling, and emissions reduction goals.

Some of the EHS highlights include:

*  The development of an Industrial Fire Protection and Emergency Preparedness Guide that became the standard in the toy industry for Far East factories.

*  Partnerships with the U.S. government to develop climate change and waste reduction strategies through our Charter membership in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Leaders and U.S. EPA WasteWise programs.

*  ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) registration and Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) STAR site certification of our largest manufacturing facility.

*  Formal recognition, in 2008, of Hasbro¡¯s East Longmeadow facility by Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships for its energy efficiency and conservation measures for a "demonstrated 15.4 percent reduction in energy use".

To oversee all of our EHS activities, we have an EHS Committee that has operated within Hasbro for many years, designed specifically to address issues of sustainability. Senior officials at Hasbro are active participants on this Committee.

Going forward, Hasbro will continue its commitment to be an EHS and sustainability leader in our industry.
