Introduction Our Strategy Environmental Social Governance
FELLOW STAKEHOLDERS,
This time last year, we published our first ever Concentrix Sustainability Report. As we set out on this journey, we wanted
to reimagine what our impact could be, focused on our core belief that “you can never underestimate the power of
ONE.” We renewed and deepened our commitments to care for the environment to leave it better than we found it,
create a better place for people to work and live in the communities where we operate, and to act with integrity and do 20

the right thing. Always. Pres nt’s Cl
ide
Now, 12 months later, we get to reflect on what we have been able to achieve through the Power of ONE Concentrix.
Every day individuals and teams around the world are stepping up, giving back, and sharing their time and talents
to make a difference. From recycling efforts with proceeds that help protect the environment, to efforts that ensure
children have access to quality education, and standing up for what is right for our staff. This is the power of ONE in
action and it is truly humbling.
In this report we will share updates on some of the stories that we featured last year, as well as new stories of people
who are truly making a difference. And once again, we are proud to feature photos taken by our talented staff to bring
these stories to life. As you read on, we will take you on a journey through the powerful, positive difference our 290,000+

GOAL PROGRESS
Since last year, our people have rallied together to make amazing progress against our environmental goals. We are working incredibly hard to bring
about positive change in a way that impacts our planet in the countless communities we live and work in, and we’re proud to report that in many
areas, we have not only achieved our original targets, we’ve exceeded them and are ready to take on even bigger and bolder commitments! Over
the next few pages, you will see some of the truly inspiring stories associated with our progress, and we can’t wait for you to learn more about our
journey for positive change in the areas of climate, waste, and ecosystems. 2022 2025

Climate
We’ve made great progress across the board to date. In some cases, we’ve even significantly exceeded our targets, like reducing our CO2 by 45K MT versus
an initial goal of 25K MT. Because of the hard work of all our people who’ve helped us on our green mission, we are now aiming to do right by our planet and
future generations by increasing our goal to 50K MT. We have also taken more than 10K cars off the road due to our work-from-anywhere model, and are
committing to a new goal of reducing commuting emissions by 50%. In addition, we are setting a more challenging goal to source 30% of our power from
renewable energy by 2025, compared to our original goal of 10%.
Renewable Energy
Running our business on renewable energy can go a long way towards reducing our
environmental impact. So we designed our initial goal to be significant on both a local
and collective global scale. Over the next few pages you will read about how we shifted
to renewable energy where possible and worked with our landlords to exceed our initial
renewable energy goals. Now we are ready to make even bigger commitments for 2025.

We have recycled over 200,000 lbs. of paper and fitted 76% of sites with water refilling stations to eliminate single-use plastic bottles. We are maintaining
focus on our original goals and you will read about some great examples in the next few pages on how our teams are making impacts in their local
communities.
Recycling
We’ve made great progress to recycle more materials wherever possible across our
business and contribute to the reduction of our waste on a local and global scale. Read on
to see how we have created multiple recycling partnerships around the world, covering
everything from composting in India and the Philippines to recycling in Australia and
Nicaragua. We’re now well on our way to completing our initial paper recycling goal and
making progress towards our e-waste goal.

harmful emissions and has a very low carbon footprint. With the
help of these new systems, our people create compost that’s
used in our on-site green gardens and public green spaces, and
eventually, staff will be able to take the compost home to use in
their own gardens!
In nine of our sites in the Philippines, we have implemented the
Bokashi composting method, where food scraps and organic waste
are sealed in an airtight container with “Bokashi bran,” a compost
accelerator that breaks the waste down quickly. Periodically, liquid is
drained off from the containers until the food scraps are fermented
and ready to be composted. The locally-made Bokashi bran
is inoculated with good microorganisms that aid in the
fermentation and pickling of food scraps. Our compost is
delivered and used as fertilizer around local urban
farms, and we are looking to expand the
program in the future!

Pla Developed in partnership with Quezon City local government and local
non-profit organizations, Sunnyville is a model urban farm created on a
vacant two square kilometer lot. The idea is not simply to provide food
aid, but to equip people with skills and opportunities which enable
them to become self-sufficient.
Once the site was secured, we donated tools and seedlings to
kickstart the program. Since the project began, Concentrix
staff have held donation drives and food sales, donated
female care kits for International Women’s Day, and
contributed hundreds of volunteer hours.
At a time when the pandemic was threatening
many families’ incomes, Sunnyville Farm is already
supporting over 70 families. And Concentrix is
looking for new opportunities to expand the

positive social impact. To us, it’s another

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is vital to creating and maintaining a successful workplace; one founded on the principle that all people
can thrive personally and professionally. Our emphasis, and cultural efforts to promote DEI are an essential component to how we
operate internally and externally.
Every day, we celebrate the diversity of our staff by fostering an environment that welcomes and respects every individual so they can
grow to be the best version of themselves. Through our Staff Resource Groups (SRGs), fireside chats, webinars, and other activities and
initiatives, we help our people to connect, spread awareness about important causes, and improve the diversity and inclusivity of our
workplace.
DEI is deeply valued, and purposely embedded into the DNA at Concentrix. It’s a
fundamental aspect of our ability to cultivate a nurturing and supportive environment
for all staff, creating a culture where everyone is affirmed, feels seen, heard and
appreciated for their remarkable contributions. When we strive to instill a more in-
depth understanding of our uniqueness, that uniqueness is embraced and celebrated.

Risk Management Our US Staf f
Managing risk is an important part of a corporation’s business dealings. We cannot be successful unless we know of
the risks in our business and how we can mitigate those risks. We undertake an enterprise risk management process
with our board of directors on an annual basis. These risks include all risks to the company including security, fraud,
cyber attacks, pandemics, business loss and all other types of risks that could affect a modern enterprise. While this is
an annual review with our board, our executive team also reviews risks on a more regular basis. It was through our risk
management process that we were able to turn very quickly to providing a fully remote working solution during the
COVID-19 pandemic for all of our 290,000+ staff worldwide, all while still supporting our clients in their businesses during
this period of global turmoil.

Business Continuity
Our business supports our clients who need to be available to their customers on a 24/7/365 basis. Ensuring this support
requires constant monitoring of our network and systems, which we achieve through our Cyber Defense Operations
Center which is open all hours of the day, all days of the week, all weeks of the year. If an issue arises, we have a global
and effective crisis management team that meet at a moment’s notice, whether the issue is technical such as a potential
cyber breach, or physical such as an impending natural disaster. Our disaster recovery is swift and our internal chat group
of our top global leaders ensures that help is provided and information is disseminated quickly around the globe.
