We are committed to the responsible utilization of our natural resources and have introduced Lean projects in our facilities to effectively manage water usage. While our business is not uniformly water intensive, we have evaluated our sites to determine which locations are in water-stressed areas and prioritized our action plans and investments where we can make the greatest impact. For example, we have prioritized focus on our semiconductor facilities that use more water than our comparably sized electronics assembly facilities.

To support our GHG emission reduction target, we coordinate with each location to review and analyze their GHG emissions data, then develop targets and plans to decrease emissions. We prioritize energy reduction, increased use of renewable energy, and better management of chemical processes at our manufacturing locations as key elements in meeting our GHG reduction target to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions 38% by 2035.
