PRODUCTS MARKETS BUSINESSES (CURRENT) SUSTAINABILITY INVESTORS Environment SUSTAINABILITY OVERVIEW ENVIRONMENT OUR PEOPLE SUPPLY CHAIN GOVERNANCE Our operations are implementing programs and initiatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve water and decrease waste through reuse and recycling. Many of our operations utilize ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 international standards, as appropriate, to support their initiatives. We strive to make the highest quality products for our customers with the smallest environmental footprint. Greenhouse Gas Emissions Amphenol is acting to reduce our operational energy use and minimize our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the application of lean production processes and capital investments in energy-saving equipment. Our efforts in these areas have allowed us to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity over the four years that we have collected this data. Our 2022 goal is to reduce our revenue-normalized Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 10% versus our 2018 levels. We have also begun evaluating our Scope 3 GHG emissions and have started developing a decarbonization strategy for our business. The use of renewable energy is an important part of our GHG emissions reduction strategy. Over the past few years, we have improved the monitoring of renewables in our energy consumption in order to better understand the opportunities we have to increase our sustainable energy use. The renewable electricity portion of our total energy purchased is up to 19% and we plan to increase this percentage over time. Along with the continued monitoring of renewables in our purchased electricity, we also plan to increase our on-site production of energy fueled by renewables. + Read about how we are taking action Water Withdrawal Intensity Amphenol strives to be a responsible water user in the communities in which we operate. We are committed to actively pursuing and investing in water optimization projects across our facilities and we work to educate our employees on water conservation practices. As a result of these efforts, we have been able to reduce our water withdrawal intensity throughout our facilities. In 2020, we completed our sectoral water risk screening to assess the risk of water scarcity, flooding and quality across our global manufacturing footprint. Utilizing the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) Water Risk Filter, we were able to complete a comprehensive analysis of our global manufacturing footprint to assess our current and future physical water risk. Based on the analysis, we were able to determine that none of our operations were in locations classified as “extreme risk.” We plan to conduct this risk assessment annually. + Read about how we are taking action Waste Disposal Limiting our use of resources and minimizing our waste remain a core component of Amphenol’s operational management culture. Our operations employ a number of methods to limit our waste, with some examples including utilizing recycled packaging for connectors, regrinding thermoplastics as appropriate to supplement virgin material feedstocks, composting organic material from our employee cafeterias and reducing our paper usage. As a result of our efforts, we were able to reuse, recycle or recover approximately 57% of our total waste in 2020. We will continue to look for new ways to minimize our material use as we work to further reduce our waste production and deliver more sustainable products to our customers. + Read about how we are taking action ABOUT AMPHENOL Our Company News Investor Relations Environmental, Social and Governance RESOURCES Supplier Responsibility Anti-Human Trafficking & Slavery Statement Careers CUSTOMER SUPPORT Product Locator Locations Contact Us Copyright 2020 Amphenol Corporation.
