SUPPLIER COMMITMENT Our suppliers are critical to our mission. Together, we can have a greater positive impact on our customers’ success and in the communities in which we operate. Our global supply chain consists of numerous suppliers, sub-contractors, channel partners, manufacturing sites, distribution centers and customers. While we manage global supply chains, we believe in supporting qualified suppliers located in our local business areas. We recognize the unique capabilities that local suppliers can bring. SUPPLIER ENGAGEMENT Sanmina engages with our suppliers on a daily basis, and we take the opportunity to make social and environmental responsibility a part of our ongoing dialogue. We believe it is important to work with suppliers who share our commitment to integrity, and who support an ethical and compliant culture. Our suppliers are held to the same high standards of business conduct that we set for ourselves. We require our suppliers to adhere to the standards of behavior, social responsibility and environmental stewardship as defined by the Responsible Business Alliance. (RBA). The RBA Code of Conduct was created to ensure that working conditions in the electronics industry supply chain are safe, workers are treated with respect and business operations are environmentally responsible and conducted ethically. We require all of our suppliers representing Sanmina to adhere to these specific supplier requirements. Prior to Sanmina approving a supplier for use in a customer product, our team conducts an initial assessment to ensure that the supplier abides by the RBA Code of Conduct. The RBA Code of Conduct is available through the partner portal on Supply Chain 29, our website Supplier Requirements and included in our purchase order terms. Our supplier surveys, which are used for the initial assessment of new suppliers for classification purposes, as well as a tool for corrective action follow-up, utilize the RBA Code of Conduct as a framework for questions around social and environmental responsibility.
