Connectivity (NYSE: TEL), a world leader in connectivity and

responsibility strategy to better focus on the company's vision for
the future.
TE's One Connected World strategy details a series of goals to
make the world a better place as the company serves its employees,
customers and shareholders.
"At TE, we have had an ongoing and transparent record of
environmental, social and governance reporting through our annual
corporate responsibility report and I'm proud of our progress over
the past 10 years," said CEO Terrence
Curtin. "Now, we are evolving our strategy to the next level
with One Connected World, which builds on our purpose of creating a
safer, sustainable, productive and connected future and provides a
roadmap for us to make a measurable impact over the next
decade."
TE has set nine strategic goals to meet by 2030:
- Embed sustainability in product creation at TE
- Partner with our direct and logistics suppliers to strengthen
the sustainability of our supply chain; align our new construction
with the Sustainable Facility Initiative
- Zero-accident workplace
- 100% of facilities in water-scarce locations meet reduction
targets
- Decrease waste disposed
- 35%+ reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
- Strengthen our workplace culture, in which all differences are
valued and all opinions count
- Impact 3 million people in next-generation technology
education
- Implement a global human rights program
The company will measure its progress toward these goals and
report out annually in its corporate responsibility report starting
with the FY2020 report. Some of the work TE already does in pursuit
of its vision of One Connected World is detailed in the FY2019
report. As one example, the report showcases how TE has
incorporated sustainability into its operations over the past
decade. The company has met greenhouse gas and energy reduction
goals in 2012, 2015 and 2018.

responsibility report aligns with the Sustainability Accounting
