Our commitment to create a better world.

Plexus’ Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) program contains five pillars that reinforce our commitment to create a better world by being an industry steward, a responsible employer, a community partner, a global citizen and a promoter of corporate governance. We remain focused on measuring the sustainability and societal impact our company has on the world around us.

Actively protecting what’s important and strengthening our industry.

Ensuring a higher standard of business practices.

Plexus is a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA®) because we believe it’s our responsibility to take an active role in safeguarding our communities, our team members and our long-term business success. Every day is another opportunity for us to ask, “What can we do today for an even better tomorrow?” It’s a chance to empower every teammate to do what’s right and protect the well-being of the environment, our business and those around us.

LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR INVOLVEMENT IN RBA

Ensuring our principles are upheld across our supply chain.

Our Supplier Code of Conduct is distributed and made available to all suppliers. In this Code, we share our expectations for suppliers to read and conform to the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. The standards established in the Code of Conduct reference international norms and standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO International Labor Standards, and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

Plexus asks our suppliers to join us in our efforts in aligning to responsible business practices by registering with the RBA. We additionally require our major suppliers to complete the RBA social responsibility assessment each year and, through the online platform, we monitor supplier conformance and work with our suppliers on any areas of concern.

Doing business the responsible way.

We're driven by fairness, honesty and ethical business. With zero tolerance for corruption and dishonest business practices, we’re accountable for getting things done the right way. Excellence only flourishes when we hold ourselves to higher standards in every interaction with customers, suppliers and our team members. Our Values and Leadership Behaviors support our culture of accountability by defining how we will conduct ourselves. As a proud member of the Responsible Business Alliance, we are part of a global coalition dedicated to improving the working conditions throughout our global supply chain through initiatives focused on the well-being, promotion and rights of workers.

We regularly dedicate time and resources to ensure that our company is aligned with anti-corruption laws in all jurisdictions. We assess compliance and social risks associated with each individual role, and we continue to educate employees at all levels of the organization about the importance of avoiding unfair business practices, complying with fair competition laws and other critical regulatory, social and ethics topics. Training completion is tracked in the company’s Learning Management System (LMS).

Social Responsibility Policy

Engaging our team members to build a better Plexus.

We value our employees and strive to provide a healthy, safe and fulfilling work experience. Through our annual employee survey process, we are able to assess employee satisfaction, identify improvement opportunities and leverage suggestions from team members. Formal initiatives are generated based on the feedback we receive, both at an enterprise and site level.

Our Ethics Hotline is always open.

Anonymous reporting via phone, web or postal service through an independent vendor is available 24/7/365 and in over 200 languages. Our employees, business partners and other stakeholders may use this tool to report suspected or observed violations of our policies or legal requirements.

We demand the highest standard of ethical behavior and personal integrity from our own employees, guided by the Plexus Code of Conduct and Business Ethics. We extend the same expectations to our business partners.

Committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.

With a foundation built on equal opportunity, diversity and respect, we’re committed to maintaining a professional work environment free of all forms of harassment and discrimination. We believe that through our collective uniqueness we achieve great things. We encourage all our employees, customers and neighbors to simply BE YOU!

Working together to care for the communities we call home.

Plexus looks to share with our communities as we prosper. Each year, we contribute to non-profit causes in our communities and encourage employee volunteerism. Helping to improve the places where we do business has a positive impact on everything we do. It supports a continuous cycle of well-being that doesn't begin or end at our facilities.

We give to local charities that enhance innovation, promote technology-related educational programs (STEM) and preserve the quality of life in communities in which our teammates reside – what’s important to our teammates is important to us. Through monetary donations and the promotion of volunteerism, the Plexus Charitable Foundation gives us all a chance to work together to achieve something better.

Our Focus on Charitable Giving

Committed to making a positive impact in the world.

As a global organization, we understand the far-reaching impact we have on our planet and its inhabitants. Each of our facilities can directly influence the communities in which we operate. The suppliers we partner with expand our scope of influence. As a member of the Responsible Business Alliance, we collaborate with other leading global electronics companies to create sustainable business practices that protect our workers and our environment. We’re all in this together, which is why we make sure we act as a good neighbor.

It matters where our minerals come from.

We make every effort to responsibly source materials throughout our global supply chain. We will not knowingly use minerals from corrupt origins to ensure that the only impact we’re making in people’s lives is a positive one. We hold our business partners accountable for the responsible sourcing of materials so as not to support corrupt or unfair treatment of people in the mining of minerals.
