Synaptics Corporate Environmental Policy

Synaptics recognizes the importance of protecting the environment for future generations and ensuring we all can attain a healthy and enriched life. We reduce our environmental footprint and prevent environmental pollution by complying with all applicable environmental laws and regulations and by continually improving our environmental management systems.

Scope

Our policy applies to our operations globally and encompasses the health and safety of our employees, shareholders, investors, suppliers, channel partners and the communities in which we operate.

Management

Our policy has been developed by our senior executive staff. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors has oversight over, and accountability for, all of Synaptics corporate social responsibility efforts, including our environmental policy. Day-to-day oversight of the policy is provided by our Synaptics Sustainability Council, which is comprised of senior leaders from business and corporate support areas across our organization. The chair is Synaptics’ Chief Sustainability Officer, who reports to the CEO and the Board of Directors. The Council reports regularly to the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee and is committed to consulting with relevant stakeholders on environmental issues. Every Synaptics manager and employee is committed to the development, implementation and maintenance and ongoing improvement of our environmental, health and safety program.
