Products

Disney products find their way into the market through a variety of supply chains. In some cases, such as the merchandise at Disney parks, Disney has direct relationships with manufacturers and transportation companies. In other situations, more distant relationships prevail, as in the case of Disney Consumer Products' licensing relationships. Given the large and dynamic network of facilities that manufacture Disney products, it is challenging at this time to define a single, uniformly applicable goal for all Disney products.

During the coming year, we'll begin the process of estimating the magnitude of the footprint resulting from product-related activities. In coming years, Disney intends to engage suppliers and licensees in a collaborative drive to reduce the environmental footprint of Disney merchandise.

The sheer volume of products and intermediate parties, as well as the absence of firmly established protocols for determining the environmental impact of products in an unambiguous manner for all possible combinations of materials, are daunting issues associated with this goal.
