eBay expects suppliers to align with its environmental goals by prioritizing eco-efficiency and sustainability across product and service lifecycles, from sourcing to disposal. Suppliers should reduce waste, conserve resources, and safely manage hazardous substances, wastewater, and solid waste. Air emissions must be controlled and treated, with an emphasis on reducing greenhouse gases and adopting renewable energy sources where possible. Suppliers are encouraged to assess biodiversity risks and implement conservation initiatives. Additionally, suppliers must maintain all required environmental permits and cooperate with eBay’s environmental data requests to support reporting and improvement efforts.
