Our DEI annual event calendar systematically celebrates differences by enveloping key conversations on critical topics through fireside

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY
Our emissions reduction strategy revolves around 3 key actions, focusing on the biggest areas of our impact:

INTRODUCTION
Greening our energy sources: Concentrix will accelerate conversions to renewable energy in our
facilities across the world by utilizing a mix of different instruments and strategies available:
A. Investing in renewable energy infrastructure in the sites we own
B. Availing of green tariff programs where we own our energy contracts and where supply is available
C. Engaging in viable Power Purchase Agreements where it is available
D. Use of Renewable Portfolio Standards and working with landlords to shift to renewable energy

STRATEGY
Greening our supply chain: Concentrix will work with our suppliers and partners to educate and
strategize in the inclusion of sustainability metrics in our vendor performance metrics.

ENVIRONMENTAL
SOCIAL
Greening our commute: Work-At-Home and our Work-From-Anywhere programs will remain a key
work mode for our staff to significantly reduce commuting emissions.
