Summary

The Flextronics Foundation invests globally and serves as a catalyst for positive change in communities around the world. The Foundation is focused on being an asset to these communities through educational programs, and disaster, community, and medical relief. Emphasis is placed on programs that serve the needs of people in communities where employees of Flextronics, and its suppliers and customers, live and work. Established in March of 2002, the Flextronics Foundation is operated as a private foundation, and its primary activity is to provide support, primarily through grant making. Flextronics' social commitment to communities in need holds firm. Moreover, the Company recognizes that its employees are intimately familiar with both the needs of their communities, and the organizations that best address those needs. For this reason, Flextronics has expanded the responsibility of its senior management to identify projects and organizations that fit the criteria of the Foundation and will best serve communities in need throughout the world. The Flextronics Foundation seeks to aid, enrich, engage, educate and empower the communities where Flextronics, and its suppliers and customers, have a business presence. The Foundation supports a variety of comprehensive programs through direct grants. These grants serve as enablers in helping organizations fulfill their missions and expand their services to the community. The foundation focuses on supporting the following areas that are at the forefront of society's needs and Flextronics' corporate interests: Disaster Relief: Contributions in times of need. The Flextronics Foundation provides aid to relieve human suffering that may be caused by a natural or civil disaster, or an emergency hardship. These disasters may be caused by floods, fires, riots, storms, earthquakes or similar large-scale adversities. Medical Relief/Health Programs: The Foundation funds organizations that provide medical relief to communities where Flextronics employees live and work. We also support specific local health programs and organizations. Preference is given to those organizations where Flextronics employees volunteer their time. Educational/Other Programs: The Flextronics Foundation sponsors educational programs and other charitable activities where Flextronics employees volunteer their time. We focus our efforts on those organizations distributing funds toward programs that benefit students with socioeconomic issues, learning disabilities or handicaps. We support academic programs in areas related to electronics manufacturing, and the betterment of disadvantaged students. The foundation also sponsors technical learning programs on its major manufacturing campuses offering computer based training, certified schooling and academic liaisons with local universities.
