SAN JOSE, CA – Flex says it reduced CO₂ emissions by 20%, exceeding its revenue-based goal, during the 2015 calendar year.

In its 2016 Global Citizenship Report, the electronics manufacturer also says it achieved its goal of 15% reduction in injury and occupational disease incidents, as well as reduced electrical use by more than 25,700 MWh/year by installing LED light fixtures in facilities in 12 countries.

The firm recycled 647,000 m³ of water during 2015, equivalent to the annual water consumption of 1,170 homes, according to the report, and was named to Fortune's World's Most Admired Companies list.

"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."
