In pursuit of a better world

Fiscal 2025 Sustainability Report

We’ve released our Fiscal 2025 Sustainability Report, detailing our progress in environmental stewardship, social responsibility and corporate governance, including our strategic evolution toward absolute emission reduction targets.

INNOVATING RESPONSIBLY

Our Formal Commitment to Absolute Emissions Reduction

In service to our vision of building a better world and our value of Innovating Responsibly, Plexus is proud to announce a formal commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 54.6% by 2033, using 2023 as our baseline year.

This goal follows a comprehensive due diligence process, including global energy assessments and rigorous business case analysis. To achieve this target, we have prioritized high-impact initiatives focused on:

  • Operational Efficiency: Identifying and implementing energy reduction across our global footprint
  • Renewable Energy: Transitioning to renewable sources through on-site generation and strategic procurement
  • Process Innovation: Leveraging technology and circular thinking to reduce emissions at the source of production

By aligning with science-based methodologies, we are ensuring our sustainability journey is backed by data and driven by our enduring focus on doing the right thing for our team members, customers, communities and the world.

This includes how we design products to reduce their environmental impact, how we optimize production and how we extend a product’s useful life through sustaining services.

Our Operations

To deliver excellence, we must continuously improve how we operate to optimize natural resource usage and reduce our environmental impact.

Our Sustainability Goals

We believe in the power of people and innovation coming together to create a better, more sustainable world.

  • Pay Equity: Performed pay equity tool controls preparation and disclosure analysis, and determined what, if any, corrective action plans were needed globally. Deployed pay range transparency in the U.S.
  • Volunteerism: Logged 32,054 VTO hours globally, representing a 47% year-over-year increase.
  • Social Impact: We restructured to include a global role dedicated to community and Employee Resource Group (ERG) engagement while standardizing regional models to scale local empowerment.
  • Charitable Giving: Over $1.4M in charitable giving in fiscal 2025.

Our Impact: 2025 Highlights

  • Emissions Intensity: We surpassed our goal and achieved a 15.0% absolute reduction.
  • Waste to Landfill Intensity: We surpassed our goal and achieved a 31.0% waste to landfill intensity reduction, which included 8 sites achieving zero waste status.
  • Water Withdrawal: While an overall water intensity reduction was met, we did not fully achieve our intensity reduction goal.
  • Site Impact Assessments: Completed individual site sustainability impact assessments to support longer-term ambition planning.

In 2026, we set out to achieve the following goals:

  • Emissions: 25% absolute reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions over a fiscal 2023 baseline.

  • Site Impact Assessments: Continued deployment of best practices and targeting new efficiencies based on fiscal 2025 assessment findings.

In 2025, we held recurring discussions with key stakeholders regarding material topics and progress.

In 2026, we intend to calibrate stakeholder feedback from previous Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) activities to address needs/plan for future DMA deployment.
