SANMINA IS COMMITTED TO ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP We invest in sustainable solutions across our facilities, supply chain and products. We are committed to integrating environmental stewardship into the fabric of how we operate. We recognize the importance of the environment in creating a healthy, sustainable future for our business, stakeholders and communities. We believe sustainability is an area of continuous improvement, knowing there will always be more opportunities for us to do our part. As a Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) member with a global ISO 14001 certification, our environmental management system helps maintain a safe and healthy environment for our employees, while ensuring our commitment to environmental responsibility. To achieve these goals, our environmental management programs comply with relevant environmental legislation and regulations prescribed by the cities, states and countries in which we do business. Sanmina seeks to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and customer requirements regarding the proper disposal of chemicals and hazardous waste. We train and educate our employees on the proper use, reuse, recycling and disposal of chemicals and hazardous waste. GHG EMISSION 2030 AND 2050 TARGETS Our target to reduce our carbon emissions 40% by 2030 and be net-zero by 2050 was established based on 2019 baseline data. Our targets were created from a science based methodology. We partner with countries and local government agencies where we operate to achieve net-zero carbon emissions. We have established corporate goals for emission reduction and are working on prioritization and implementation using multiple forms of renewable energy such as solar, wind, biomass, hydro and geothermal to aid in the reduction of GHG emissions. Our corporate campus is enrolled in GREENSOURCE, a program under which at least 95% of our electricity is derived from carbon-free sources. We continue to look for opportunities to participate in programs to reduce GHG emissions at all of our locations where doing so still allows us to meet our customers’ requirements. We are committed to integrating green design principles in new construction projects and when upgrading our facilities. We will disclose our progress toward our targets in our annual CSR report. It is important to understand that our non-carbon free energy use on an annual basis may fluctuate as a result of the output in our operations to meet the demand requirements of our customers. ACTIONS WE HAVE TAKEN At Sanmina, we continue to look for ways to be more environmentally conscious and energy efficient. We have made significant investments over the years to upgrade our operations, processes and manufacturing equipment to energy efficient systems. We will continue to invest in these efforts globally to support this important initiative. Energy Conservation • LED Lighting • Occupancy controls for lighting and HVAC
