In our 2009 Sustainability Report, we presented an Environmental
Sustainability Vision with a well defined roadmap towards
industry stewardship. Since then, we have successfully laid a
sturdy foundation for our environmental sustainability journey
and we are on track towards the growth phase. I am pleased to
report that our environmental sustainability practices have been
rapidly embraced by our employees around the world.
I am also proud to share that we have expanded our environmental
metrics, created next-generation materials compliance system
to handle new material compliance laws such as REACH,
established a scalable Flextronics Environmental Management
System (FEMS), and executed a Carbon Disclosure Project
successfully for the third consecutive year.
Currently, there is a burning concern that the growing global
population is putting enormous pressure on our dwindling
natural resources. Air, water and ground pollution are affecting
countless people living in emerging countries such as China and
India, a threat that we are committed to help mitigate. Climate
change is already beginning to impact life on Earth through biodiversity loss, increasing temperatures,
rising sea levels and shifting seasons. Meanwhile, Earth’s finite resources must continuously supply our
future generations with clean air, water, food and safe places to live and work.
At Flextronics, we pledge to further entrench our strong environmental programs to benefit Earth and
its inhabitants while generating value that increases our customers’ competitiveness. Flextronics’ robust
environmental programs and commitment from the executive leadership will ensure that all environmental
risks and opportunities are properly managed throughout our global operations and value chain. I look
forward to many more solid years of progress in the environmental sustainability arena.
