As a global leader in sustainable manufacturing practices, Foxconn firmly believes that we have a responsibility to help protect the environment. All aspects of Foxconn’s business and operations are guided by our Social and Environmental Responsibility Code of Conduct, which sets out Foxconn’s environmental management standards.

Additionally, we also will invest in leading technologies for waste treatment and disposal in compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
Our compliance with all relevant regulations and a commitment to uphold the high environmental standards we set for ourselves will be overseen by various government agencies, our customers, and our internal compliance teams.
