Many of <strong>Molex</strong>’s worldwide manufacturing sites are certified to the International Organization for<br />
Standardization (ISO) 14001 environmental management system standard, which requires that a broad range<br />
of environmental processes and policies be in place to minimize environmental impact, maintain compliance<br />
with environmental regulations and communicate effectively with interested stakeholders. <strong>Molex</strong>’s ISO<br />
14001 environmental auditing program includes not only compliance components, but also modules on<br />
business risk, environmental excellence and management systems. <strong>Molex</strong> has internal processes that focus<br />
on minimizing and properly managing hazardous materials used in its facilities and products. The Company<br />
monitors regulatory and resource trends and sets company-wide short and long-term performance targets for<br />
key resources and emissions.<br />
The manufacture, assembly and testing of <strong>Molex</strong> products are subject to a broad array of laws and<br />
regulations, including restrictions on the use of hazardous materials. <strong>Molex</strong> believes that its efforts to reduce<br />
the use of hazardous substances have positioned the Company well to meet environmental restrictions on<br />
product content throughout the world, such as the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive in<br />
the European Union. The RoHS directive eliminates most uses of lead, cadmium, hexavalent-chromium,<br />
mercury and certain flame-retardants in electronics placed on the market after July 1, 2006.<br />
