"This past year we expanded our sustainability program to include global corporate citizenship in addition to social and environmental leadership," said Mike McNamara, Flex CEO. "In one sense, this serves to formalize some central elements of our culture – which we believe is key to the strength and resiliency of our organization – including our commitment to protect the environment, treat our people with respect and dignity and improve the communities where we live and work."
The 2016 report includes plans for future global citizenship activities, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and outlines Flex's commitment to 20 goals for 2020. Flex will report progress toward these goals twice per year through its external website.
