Sustainability requirements: Lowe’s requires vendors to secure and comply with all environmental permits and manage water through conservation, wastewater control, and discharge monitoring. Vendors must implement waste management processes that prioritize recycling, monitor energy usage to improve efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They are also expected to manage hazardous air emissions, handle hazardous chemicals safely, and comply with restrictions on certain materials in manufacturing, labeling, and packaging to meet legal and Lowe’s-specific requirements.
