We are a founding member of the RBA, a nonprofit comprised of electronics, retail, auto and toy companies committed to supporting the rights and wellbeing of workers and communities worldwide affected by the global supply chain. Members commit and are held accountable to a common Code of Conduct and use a range of RBA training and assessment tools to support continual improvement in the social, environmental and ethical responsibility of their supply chains.
SDG alignment
We focus our sustainability efforts to drive progress by focusing on four UN SDGs: Quality Education, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth and Responsible Consumption and Production.
Global Compact Principle alignment
We have been accepted as a participant in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. Under the UNGC, companies pledge to do business responsibly by voluntarily following 10 principles in areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption, and sustainable business practices.
CDP alignment
We continue to make our sustainability data collection and reporting process more robust. We report to CDP, a globally recognized disclosure system, which enables us to measure and manage our environmental impact. As a result, we can respond to the increasing number of customer requests to better understand the environmental impact and footprint of their own companies. View our CDP Climate Change Response and our CDP Water Security Response.
GRI alignment
We have aligned our sustainability reporting to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) framework since 2013, being first adopters of the GRI-G4, and more recently, the GRI-Standards. Our report includes significant topics and indicators identified in our materiality assessment process. All disclosures used in the GRI Content Index correspond to the GRI Standards of 2016.
Flex 20 by 2020
We’ve targeted 20 goals to accomplish by 2020 that align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. These goals reflect our commitment to the highest sustainability standards, across our company and global supply chain. We report our progress toward these goals twice a year.
