Aiming for Impact in Everything We Do

Environmental Stewardship

We hold ourselves accountable for the impact that our operations have on the environment and continue to do our part to confront the climate crisis. Our emissions reduction strategy and investments prioritize the use of renewable energy, with offsets purchased when direct emissions prove impossible to eliminate. We identify, evaluate, and mitigate climate-related risks using data collection and reporting methods that we continue to refine.

We remain laser-focused on achieving net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across all business segments by 2030 and are on track to meet this goal. This bold ambition is a top priority for our executive leadership team, our Board of Directors, and our employees worldwide, and we are confident that it will become a reality.

Climate Action

Our climate strategy is anchored in effective emissions management, with our goal of net-zero emissions by 2030 serving as North Star. We aim to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and adopt renewable energy sources whenever possible. When emissions cannot be eliminated from our operations, we purchase carbon offsets to mitigate their impact. We report our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions figures each year and have begun to track select Scope 3 categories for future disclosure.

A large portion of our emissions profile comprises Scope 2 emissions—indirect GHG emissions related to energy production. We continue to make strides in reducing these emissions via site consolidation and broader adoption of renewable energy. In CY 2025, we completed the consolidation of our headquarters in Fremont, CA, which increased our energy efficiency and reduced our carbon footprint.

Energy Management

Our energy management efforts focus on reducing electricity consumption and increasing renewable energy use. We apply best practices in data collection and analysis and invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy sourcing in order to achieve tangible emissions reductions.

Our investments in energy management take many forms. At our manufacturing site in Penang, Malaysia, we have a solar power purchase agreement that provides credit for on-site solar energy, which can be used to power the grid as a whole. Vehicle charging facilities are another aspect of our strategy. Our factory in Malaysia has hybrid vehicle chargers in place, and we expect to install chargers at our Newark and Fremont sites in California in the near future. We are also exploring the addition of solar parking canopies at our locations to increase our solar energy production capacity.

Water Management

Water is a fundamental resource for our own operations and for the communities in which we work and live. We believe that clean, readily available water is a basic human right and an important contributor to global biodiversity. In addition, we know that responsible water management is vital to the success of our business and our ESS strategy.

Across our global business practices and Quality, Environment, Health, and Safety (QEHS) management systems, effective and efficient water management remains vital. At each of our facilities, we implement innovative water management solutions that carefully identify which facilities consume the most water and have the greatest potential risk exposure. Each year we participate in the 2025 CDP Corporate Questionnaire, which captures information about water risks, resource management practices, and annual water use.

Waste Management

Our approach to waste management seeks to reduce waste across all sites by using sustainable product design, improved packaging and shipping practices, reusable material, and accessible recycling services. Guided by our QEHS team, our robust waste management program aligns with our company values, ESS goals, and quality management priorities. It ensures responsible consumption practices across all facilities and operations worldwide and aims to reduce natural resource use whenever possible.

Across our facilities, all paper materials are recycled and e-waste is sent to specialized recycling companies for reuse or responsible disposal. In addition, many of our sites exclusively use reusable or recyclable utensils, cups, and plates to reduce landfill waste. We continue to improve our data collection and reporting practices on waste-related concerns and are developing a more granular view of our waste-to-landfill and recycling percentages.
