Social Responsibility
Bringing great products to market is a responsibility in corporate citizenship. Lasko takes this responsibility very seriously and is committed to the communities and customers it serves.
Lasko is committed to environmentally friendly manufacturing and supply chain processes. Lasko consistently strives to achieve the highest standards in reducing its carbon footprint and waste in the manufacturing process through energy efficient technologies, recycling programs and the use of recycled materials.
Lasko and its affiliates will not work with any suppliers that engage in human trafficking and/or slavery. Lasko’s retail partners conduct audits to verify that all labor at our suppliers’ factories is voluntary and that there is no child, underage, forced, indentured or prison labor at these facilities.
Lasko will support any policies that restrict and/or eliminate the use of any export of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold from conflict-affected mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its neighboring countries with identified presence of armed conflict, widespread violence or other human risks, also known as “Conflict Minerals”.

Lasko stands dedicated to meeting its environmental regulatory obligations through a corporate-wide initiative. Working together with our Domestic and International suppliers, it is our goal to reduce the environmental footprint of our products and processes while ensuring that our high standards of product quality, reliability and safety remain steadfast.
Lasko complies with the material restriction requirements adopted under the European Union Recast Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2). The hazardous materials that are restricted under the RoHS directive include four metals (lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, cadmium) and two brominated flame-retardants (polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether).
As we develop new products, we work closely with our suppliers to ensure that all materials are compliant with the RoHS directive. We are committed to improving the environmental design of the product and reducing environmentally harmful materials.
