Supplier Sustainability Program Emissions Reduction Guide

This guide outlines the Supplier Sustainability Program initiated by Flex to establish greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets among its preferred suppliers. The document details the objectives of the program, which include supporting Flex's commitment to the Paris Agreement and achieving a 50% reduction in absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 from a 2019 base year. It explains the importance of setting emissions reduction targets, which can help organizations measure and reduce their environmental impact, identify cost savings, and enhance operational efficiency. The guide categorizes GHG emissions into three scopes—direct emissions from fuel combustion (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased electricity (Scope 2), and other indirect emissions from the value chain (Scope 3). It also discusses the elements necessary for setting effective emissions reduction targets, including the emission source, percentage of reduction, target year, and base year. The program aims to engage all sectors, emphasizing that all companies generate emissions and have opportunities for improvement.
