22021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTAMPHENOL CORPORATIONA Message from R. Adam Norwitt
At Amphenol, our entrepreneurial culture and our exceptional people remain the foundation of ourlong-term success. A key hallmark of our Amphenolian culture is that our people around the world
hold themselves accountable for how their actions impact others, including our customers andsuppliers, their fellow Amphenolians and the communities in which we operate. This culture is at
the heart of our environmental, social and governance strategy. Each Amphenol General Manager is
empowered to make the right decisions for the long-term sustainability of their business each andevery day.
Over the past two years, through a global pandemic and the subsequent supply chain crisis, ourpeople have risen to the challenge, delivering exceptional performance for our shareholders all while
taking action to reduce our impact on the planet and support the communities in which we operate.
In 2021, we made substantial progress on our sustainability initiatives. After completing two of
our short-term sustainability goals in 2020, we set two new goals in 2021 as we strive to further
limit our water use and ensure an ethical and responsible supply chain. We have also expanded
our Responsible Minerals program to include cobalt and have initiated a screening of our Scope 3
greenhouse gas emissions as we work toward increasing the impact of our decarbonization efforts.
Our people remain our most important asset and protecting and ensuring their safety remains a criticalpriority for us. To ensure our employees’ safety, we adopted a wide array of protective measures in
our facilities, enabled employees to work remotely whenever possible and promoted and provided
COVID-19 testing and vaccines within our operations and in some cases our local communities. In 2021
we also established Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Environmental, and Health and Safety policies
and are providing the gender and ethnic diversity of our U.S. workforce through the release of our EEO-1
filing which is available on our website.
In this 2021 Sustainability Report we highlight many areas of progress and success, all of which are adirect result of the dedication and hard work of our truly outstanding employees around the world.
Without them, we would not have been able to further build on our sustainability commitments anddeliver value to our customers, partners, employees, communities and shareholders.

reduce their own environmental footprint, which havethe added benefit of both reducing our GHG emissions
and helping our facilities save on energy costs.

from individual employee transportation. The bus
service is largely subsidized, which offers employees aless expensive option for commuting. Another benefit
is that fewer cars mean less paved parking spaces at
the facility. To ensure employees remained safe during
the pandemic, the team hired additional buses so thatpassengers could properly social distance.

Water Use

Water Reuse in Action

Amphenol strives to be a responsible user of water.

Amphenol Times Fiber – Campinas, Brazil
Our team at Times Fiber in Brazil embarked on awastewater project with the objectives of reducing
the facility’s water consumption and reusing
wastewater. The team first looked at reducing
the amount of water the facility consumed. After
limiting water use, the team implemented a fourstep process that involved filtering, aerating,cleaning and treating the wastewater. Once treated,
the water was available to be used to irrigate
nearby land. The water has helped create green
areas near the facility and minimized fire risk during
the dry season.

In order to reduce our overall water usage, we pursue
water optimization projects across our facilities and haveinvested in systems to reuse and reclaim our wastewater.
Through our actions and investments, we were able toreduce our water withdrawal intensity by 13% in 2021
versus the prior year. Since 2017, our actions haveresulted in our water withdrawal intensity declining by
26%, a 7% compound annual reduction.

Reducing our Waste

Operating as efficiently as possible is a core component ofAmphenol Backplane Products - Changzhou, China
In addition to the actions we have taken to
reduce the waste produced from our factories,
our teams are also working to reduce the impactof our product packaging. At our facility in
Changzhou, China, our teams have implemented
a number of lean manufacturing practices that
increase product recyclability and provide
significant annual waste savings. These actions
include increasing the number of product trays
placed in each box and using smaller packaging
boxes in order to reduce corner and flat foam
fillers. As a result of these initiatives, our teamhas been able to not only limit the waste createdby our packaging but has also been able to savemoney on material and labor costs.

Amphenol’s management culture. Inherent in this cultureis the imperative to be thoughtful about the resources
we use to both minimize and better manage waste in our
processes. Our operations employ numerous methods tolimit our waste, with some examples including utilizing
recycled packaging for connectors, composting organic
material from our employee cafeterias and reducing ourpaper usage.
Through the waste minimization initiatives we haveundertaken over the past few years, our facilities havebeen able to increase the percentage of our waste that isreused, recycled or recovered. Of the total waste generated
by our operations in 2021, 65% was reused, recycled or
recovered, up from 57% in 2020. We also increased theamount of our hazardous waste that was diverted from
disposal to 67% of our total hazardous waste generated, up
from 49% in 2020. We will continue to look for new ways
to further reduce our waste production and deliver moresustainable products to our customers.

2021 Waste End Use

our 5G solutions for mobile devices are designed to enable
these devices to support higher data speeds.

Across the mobile network industry, the practiceof installing new antennas each time there is atechnology update has resulted in thousandsof still-useful antennas being discarded eachyear. In 2021, our team at Amphenol Antenna
Solutions announced a new upgradeable antenna
called Integra, which allows mobile network
operators to keep their base station technology
up to date while also helping reduce theiroperators’ environmental footprint. Under the
Integra solution, used antennas can be returned
to Amphenol Antenna Solutions where they arerefurbished and upgraded in order to be installedat other sites. During the upgrade process,modules with current technology are refurbished,
while antenna modules that are obsolete are
replaced with up-to-date parts. The wholeantenna is then tested, certified and warrantied
to the same high standard as Amphenol Antenna
Solutions’ other antenna solutions.

The new use cases created by 5G technologies are also
a significant growth opportunity, with many of thesesolutions helping support a more sustainable future. In
the automotive market, Amphenol will benefit from newtechnologies enabled by 5G like connected vehicles andautonomous driving. In the medical market, remote surgery
applications create new opportunities for interconnect
solutions. Across a broad range of other industries, thecontinued proliferation of smart city infrastructures,
artificial intelligence, virtual training, real-time healthmonitoring and the growth in Internet of Things devices
will all be further enabled by 5G.

AMPHENOL CORPORATION

By using our Integra solution, mobile network
operators are able to keep their installed
network infrastructure up to date with thelatest technologies, while also ensuring they are
reducing their contribution to waste and landfills.

we manage a comprehensive Conflict Minerals programthat ensures we do not knowingly use tin, tantalum,
tungsten or gold (3TG), which may originate fromsources that directly or indirectly finance or benefit
armed groups through mining or mineral trading in
the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining

supply chain regarding the origin of the 3TG andcobalt used in our products to ensure the appropriate
reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI) and due

in our facilities. To protect our factory employees, we required
health screenings, offered face masks and hand sanitizer,
upgraded building ventilation systems and installed non-touchdoors, drinking fountains and sanitation stations. Where
practical and appropriate, we have expanded our remote work
options to help our employees optimally manage their workand personal responsibilities. We have also restructured ourhealthcare initiatives to better include remote workers andtheir unique needs.
At the beginning of the pandemic, we established theAmphenol Frontline team, comprised of volunteers froma range of disciplines across the Company. The team has
utilized a multi-faceted approach to support our businesses,
including providing signage promoting general guidelines andbest practices, hosting webinars on health, vaccine safety andoperational topics like air quality and conducting training on
how to best implement social distancing and contract tracing.
In addition, in the U.S. the team sourced a quick-turnaround
COVID-19 testing solution, which was made available to all of
our U.S. facilities.

2021, our teams around the world worked quickly
to protect our employees. At a corporate level, we
worked to educate our workforce on the importanceof vaccinations, helped allay efficacy and safetyconcerns and encouraged each of our employees toget vaccinated. At a local level, many of our facilities

TCFD Disclosure
Governance
Disclose the organization’s governance around climate-related risks and opportunities.
a) Describe the Board’s oversight ofclimate-related risks and opportunities.

Our Board of Directors, including through its various committees, oversees climate-related risks
as part of its broader risk management responsibilities. The Board’s risk management oversighttakes place throughout the year at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and its
committees. The responsibilities of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee expressly
include “assisting the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of relevant sustainability
and corporate social responsibility policies, strategies and programs.” Certain members of theCompany’s senior management provide regular updates to the Board and appropriate committees
on the Company’s ESG risks, opportunities, priorities, initiatives and progress towards goals,
including with respect to climate-related risks and opportunities.

b) Describe management’s role inassessing and managing climaterelated risks and opportunities.

Senior management is responsible for assessing and managing climate-related risks andopportunities. In particular, the Company’s Vice President of Environmental, Health, Safety andSustainability is tasked with managing our company-wide sustainability efforts and keeps senior
management apprised of potential climate-related initiatives and opportunities. In addition,
our Sustainability Steering Committee includes cross-functional and cross-organizational
representatives who meet formally on at least a semi-annual basis. This Committee evaluatescompany-wide sustainability data, recommends appropriate goals to our senior management andcoordinates the Company’s sustainability activities across the Company. The Company’s Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, and Vice
President, Investor Relations, also provide valuable input identified through engagement withshareholders, the investment community and other important stakeholders.
Additionally, senior management identifies and evaluates ESG risks (including climate-related risks
in alignment with TCFD) based on their potential materiality, the probability and magnitude of
the risk and the risk mitigation measures adopted by the Company. Senior management assesses
energy efficiency opportunities that (1) align with the Company’s overall business strategy andbusiness model and (2) support the Company’s climate-related priorities and goals.

Strategy
Disclose the actual and potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organization’s businesses, strategy and financial planning.
a) Describe the climate-related risks
and opportunities the organization has
identified over the short, medium andlong term.

The Company evaluates its risks and opportunities with respect to climate change on three separate
time scales: Short-Term (1 to 3 years), Medium-Term (3 to 7 years), and Long-Term (7 to 15 years). Whilecurrent climate models predict significant and varied impacts from climate change on a global scale,given the geographically dispersed nature of our assets it is unlikely the Company’s direct operations will
be materially impacted over the assessed time horizons. More specifically, as of December 31, 2021, theCompany operated approximately 230 manufacturing facilities across more than 40 countries, with nosingle operation representing a material portion of the Company’s overall production. The Company isworking on implementing a more focused climate-related risk assessment that is aligned with the TCFD
recommendations and will consider both upstream and downstream climate-related impacts. Potential
climate-related risks and opportunities to our direct operations that have been identified as part of ourassessment are categorized per the TCFD guidance below.
PHYSICAL RISKSThe Company identifies climate-related physical risks as either acute or chronic. Acute risks arise from
more frequent and severe extreme weather events such as floods, hurricanes or wildfires, and chronicrisks are those risks that arise from the cumulative impacts of increasing temperatures, such as changing
precipitation patterns and rising sea levels.
Applicability to Our Business: Physical risks, both acute and chronic, could damage our facilities,
equipment and other assets; increase expenses and hamper the Company’s ability to deliver for ourcustomers; and affect our production capacity and that of our customers and suppliers.
TRANSITION RISKSThe Company identifies climate-related transition risks as those driven by the market-based need totransition to a low-carbon economy, including the development of, and investment in, new technologies
and services that support this low-carbon transition. This also includes the accompanying range of legal,
regulatory, policy, liability and reputational issues associated with a transition to a low-carbon economy.
Applicability to Our Business: Transition risks could increase the Company’s operating costs resulting fromcompliance with policy-driven responses to climate change, such as those that mandate energy and fuelefficiency, regulate greenhouse gas emissions or restrict or mandate specific energy sources.
OPPORTUNITIESThe Company utilizes the TCFD-recommended guidance to evaluate climate-related opportunities.
This includes actions the Company is taking around climate change mitigation aimed at supporting
decarbonization, as well as climate adaptation strategies that help the Company increase its resilience tochanging conditions.
Applicability to Our Business: The transition to a low-carbon economy creates enormous growth
opportunities for the Company. Through our broad product portfolio, Amphenol is enabling a cleaner,safer and more sustainable world through our products. Our solutions help support climate change
research, enable electric vehicles, help make charging infrastructure safe and connect people together
across the globe. Within our own operations, we also have the opportunity to invest in more energyefficient buildings and equipment to reduce operational costs and to use lower-emission or renewablesources of electricity to help reduce future regulatory transition risks.

Strategy (continued)b) Describe the impact of climaterelated risks and opportunities on theorganization’s businesses, strategy andfinancial planning.

The Company has taken measures to integrate climate-related risks and opportunities into its businessstrategy and financial planning. Within each of our businesses we seek to reduce the environmental footprintof our products by reducing their weight, optimizing their energy needs and limiting emissions and waste
related to their manufacturing. In terms of our business strategy and financial planning, we are investing in a
multitude of products that enable a cleaner, safer and more sustainable world, including products that support
the growth in electric vehicles and clean energy solutions. While our products are often advanced, highly
engineered solutions, they are typically a small component integrated into a larger system. As a result, ourproducts generally represent only a fraction of the energy consumption and overall emissions of the larger
system, yet they play an outsized role in enabling end products and systems that contribute to a cleaner planet.
Furthermore, we have developed disaster preparedness protocols and training, as well as periodic assessmentsof the exposure of the Company’s physical assets, to help mitigate climate-related risks.

c) Describe the resilience of theorganization’s strategy, taking into
consideration different climate-related
scenarios, including a 2°C or lower
scenario.

The Company understands that climate-related physical and transition risks vary by geography, and that themagnitude of these risks will vary by the rate of global warming. The Company’s approach to assessing andmanaging climate-related risks accounts for these different global warming scenarios. If a business as usual(BAU) scenario plays out, then global temperatures are predicted to be well above 2°C, and physical climate
risks to the Company will be greater over the long term. Conversely, if the world transitions rapidly to a
low-carbon economy and prevents warming above 2°C, then physical risks to the Company are expected todecrease, however the Company will face greater transition risks under this scenario.

Managing Climate Change Risk
Disclose how the organization identifies, assesses and manages climate-related risks.
a) Describe the organization’s processes
for identifying and assessing climaterelated risks.

Currently, climate-related risks are reviewed and considered by the Board (including relevant Board
committees) and senior management in the context of their broader risk management responsibilities. Whenevaluating the materiality of climate-related risks in relation to other risks, the Board and senior management
consider (in no order of priority): (1) with respect to both transition and physical risks, (a) the financial impact(considering insurance coverage and availability of capital, as applicable) and (b) input from key stakeholders,and (2) with respect to physical risks, the extent of (a) potential damage and necessary repair activities resulting
therefrom and (b) any disruption to operations and ability to support our customers. To date, the Company has
generally not been materially impacted by climate-related events. If a climate-related event were to impact a
Company operation, the General Manager of such operation would immediately contact senior management
to keep them apprised of the impact of such climate-related event on the relevant operation. When identifying
and assessing climate-related risks, members of senior management also monitor and report on the expectedfinancial implications of any regulatory compliance or significant shift in sentiment from key stakeholders
stemming from transition risks.

b) Describe the organization’s processes
for managing climate-related risks.

The Company’s resiliency efforts play a key role in managing physical risks. Through disaster preparedness
protocols and training as well as periodic assessments of the Company’s physical footprint, the Company isable to reduce the extent of its exposure to such risks. In addition, the geographically dispersed nature of theCompany’s assets helps mitigate the impact from any single climate-related event or series of climate-related
events concentrated in one geographic region, even if such events were to increase in frequency or severity.
Where the measures discussed above are not adequate to protect the Company’s assets, it obtains insurance
coverage to offset a portion of the cost of any resulting damage and subsequent repair costs. Where existing
resiliency efforts, geographically dispersed nature of assets and insurance coverage are insufficient to address
all existing physical risks, the Company continuously evaluates whether additional measures or the expansionof existing measures would be prudent to further protect its operations. The Company has also implemented
and explored various measures to manage transition risks, which include procuring renewable energy for
our facilities and making a number of energy-efficient investments around the world. In 2021, 14% of ourpurchased electricity came from renewable sources and the Company has a goal of increasing the number offacilities sourcing renewable energy as part of their energy mix by the end of 2022.

Managing Climate Change Risk (continued)c) Describe how processes for
identifying, assessing and managing
climate-related risks are integrated
into the organization’s overall risk
management.

The Company is working on implementing a more focused, climate-related risk assessment processthat will be aligned with the TCFD recommendations and integrated into the Company’s overall risk
management processes.

Metrics and Targets
Disclose the metrics and targets used to assess and manage relevant climate-related risks and opportunities.
a) Disclose the metrics used by theorganization to assess climate-relatedrisks and opportunities in line with its
strategy and risk management process.

In 2021, the Company tracked the following metrics relevant to climate-related risks and opportunities:•

Scope 1 GHG emissions;•

Scope 2 (location-based and market-based) GHG emissions;•

Partial Scope 3 GHG emissions (Categories 2, 3, 5, 8 and 13);•

Greenhouse gas emissions intensity (Scope 1 and 2 combined emissions per unit of revenue);•

Energy consumption, including fuel, heat or steam, and purchased or acquired electricity;•

Energy intensity (MWh per unit of revenue);•

Total waste (non-hazardous and hazardous) and by disposal type (landfill, reused, recycled,
incinerated, energy recovery, other);•Water withdrawals, discharges and consumption;•

Water withdrawal intensity (megaliters per unit of revenue).

b) Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2 and, if
appropriate, Scope 3 greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions and the related risks.

In 2021, the Company’s Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions were 38,057 and 364,338 (market-based)
metric tons CO2e, respectively. Indirect Scope 3 emissions were estimated to be approximately
410,590 metric tons CO2e for 8 of 15 assessed categories. This amount does not represent thefull extent of our indirect Scope 3 emissions, and the Company is working on implementing a more
complete data capture for all Scope 3 emissions.

c) Describe the targets used by theorganization to manage climate-relatedrisks and opportunities andperformance against targets.

In 2021, the Company had the following four active, climate-related goals, which are based on the
United Nations SDGs:

AMPHENOL CORPORATION

1.

By the end of 2022, the Company will increase its sourcing of renewable energy for electric
power used at its facilities.

2.

By the end of 2022, the Company will reduce its revenue-normalized Scope 1 and 2 GHG
emissions by 10% versus 2018.

3.

By the end of 2022, the Company will set-up specific targets for its 15 highest process water
intensive facilities.

4.

By the end of 2022, the Company will identify its facilities at high risk for potential disaster
incidence and strengthen current disaster response plans accordingly.
