OSI Systems is committed to making the world safer and healthier.
We have a responsibility to be good stewards of the environment in which we operate. Our Global Sustainability Program makes us more efficient and helps our business grow in alignment with our core values.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) Program
OSI has identified four ESG Priority Areas that serve as foundational elements of our ESG Program. These include:

– Ethics & Compliance
– Our Team
– Sustainability
– Community

Our ESG program results are highlighted in our ESG Highlight Report. This report aims to:

– Define the issue’s importance to OSI’s business objectives
– Demonstrate our understanding each issue’s importance to various stakeholders
– Articulate our goals and initiatives in each area
– Report on our progress in a transparent way

Global Sustainability Program
Our Global Sustainability Program is deeply integrated into our culture of inclusion and environmental responsibility.

   

Environmental Compliance

OSI is committed to complying with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and to maintaining our excellent record of minimal environmental impact from our manufacturing and service operations.

To sustain this commitment, we strive to institute and maintain effective environmental management systems throughout our global framework.

Our goal is to attain ISO 14001 certification at all our key manufacturing locations by 2030.

Energy Utilization

We are cognizant of our energy utilization at our facilities and offices. In addition, our product development teams strive to ensure our products and services are energy efficient. In addition, we are actively reviewing our processes to identify ways to reduce overall energy usage.

OSI intends to decrease its reliance on non-renewable energy sources by increasing the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass, where available. It is our stated goal to reach a minimum of 50% of our purchased electricity from renewable sources by 2030, at our manufacturing and logistics facilities worldwide.

Many of our sites are already utilizing renewable energy, including our UK facilities which are presently 100% renewable. Our North American facilities currently range from 25% to over 60% and we expect this to increase as more renewable options become available over the next five years.

Water Management

We acknowledge the right to water as a basic human right. We ensure access to safe drinking water and sanitary facilities for our staff both at our facilities and at our vendors’ facilities. Additionally, water is crucial to our global electronics manufacturing processes, and we recognize our duty to utilize water sensibly, especially in areas where the water risk is high.

We are actively conducting assessments to identify operations in high water risk areas to better understand those risks and to develop meaningful risk-reduction strategies for a more sustainable future.

 We will mitigate our water risks by implementing an integrated water resource management approach that considers all aspects of water management, including supply, demand, quality, and environmental impacts.

Our water conservation efforts will include practices to minimize water waste, such as fixing leaks, promoting water-efficient technologies, and encouraging responsible water use habits.

We will ensure that wastewater discharge from our manufacturing process meets all water quality standards.

Emissions and Air Pollution

OSI is committed to reducing harmful air emissions from its global operations, including greenhouse gases (GHG), such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and synthetic fluorinated gases, as well as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) that may be emitted from our manufacturing processes.

We will mitigate harmful air emissions from manufacturing processes by maintaining compliance with all applicable air pollution standards and seeking less-toxic alternatives to process chemicals.

Further, OSI has set reduction goals to reduce GHG emissions across our global framework and we are actively pursuing reduction measures to meet these goals.

Waste Management

OSI’s goal is “zero waste to landfill,” and we believe this can only be achieved through the proper management of our business-derived waste. Waste management is an important element of our overall sustainability strategy and vital to maintaining our commitment to environmental protection and minimizing adverse impacts associated with our operations.

All OSI operations are expected to actively pursue minimization of all business-derived waste, including hazardous and nonhazardous waste, electronic (“e-waste”), and packaging waste.

To help achieve our goal of zero waste to landfill, OSI promotes the concept of “reduce, reuse/repurpose, recycle” at all our manufacturing and logistics facilities.

All waste generated by OSI operations must be managed in accordance with local, state, federal and/or regional regulations as well as our general waste management and hazardous waste management policies. Further, we are committed to following international guidelines on e-waste disposal.

Suppliers and Vendors

Our Global Sustainability Program spans throughout our value chain.

We expect our business partners to:

              • Operate in a manner that is protective of the environment,
              • Comply with all applicable environmental regulations and obtain all necessary environmental permits, licenses or other relevant authorizations, and
              • Establish systems to ensure the proper management of waste, air emissions, and wastewater discharges, and
              • Drive environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG)-compliant practices with transparency.
