ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & CLIMATE POLICY

 

Plexus recognizes the unique opportunity we have to build a better world by mitigating the environmental impact of our global operations in line with recognized climate science and the circular economy. We also recognize our role as a services provider and the opportunity to maximize our mitigation efforts by enhancing collaboration across our value chain.  As such, we strive to:

• Help our customers deliver products to the market with lower global warming potential and reduced environmental impact by identifying opportunities to design, manufacture and service more sustainable, responsible products
• Actively lower emissions across our operations through reducing energy consumption, optimizing resource use and efficiencies, updating aged facility infrastructure and deploying new technologies 
• Produce or procure renewable and clean energy to support our operational energy needs while reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and other forms of non-renewable energy
• Assess areas to improve our Scope 3 emissions footprint and work with our upstream and downstream partners to promote emissions reduction efforts and activities
• Divert waste from landfill in favor of beneficial reuse, repurpose or recycling in support of circularity and reducing waste-related environmental impacts, including emissions 
• Improve processes to reduce water consumption and increase the recycle and reuse of water in all regions, particularly in areas of high or extremely high baseline water stress
• Limit consumption of resources to avoid biodiversity impacts of raw material extraction
• Develop interim goals related to material environmental impacts

Plexus is committed to driving transparency of its environmental impact and adherence to the principles outlined in this policy through reporting on our efforts in an annual Sustainability Report, available at https://www.plexus.com/en-us/corporate-social-responsibility.
