Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Flex has strong environmental commitments to its stakeholders including customers, investors and employees. As such, Flex hopes to bring a unique and important perspective to bear on policy issues that impact the economy and the environment and, we try to improve business and living conditions in the area. As per our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we do not make contributions to and spending for political campaigns, political organizations, lobbyists or lobbying organizations. We are members of many trade organizations across the various areas of our business. Our participation in these organizations is to understand various regulations and to drive compliance across Flex, not to influence policies.
We have implemented processes to ensure direct and indirect activities that influence policy are consistent with our overall climate change strategy: our Sustainability Regional Leads (RLs) and Corporate Real Estate and Facilities (CREF) Regional Leads (RLs) report any pertinent activity in their regions to CREF Vice President (VP) and the Head of Global Sustainability on a regular basis. The RLs provide communication links between sites and corporate, ensuring site-level activity is aligned to our corporate strategy. The Head of Global Sustainability and the CREF VP provide leadership and resources to drive global climate-related activities.
We joined Ellen MacArthur Foundation to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Through this active participation, we ensure our external engagements are consistent with our company strategy, including our climate change strategy.
