Environmental Policy

EMC recognizes our environmental responsibilities to our shareholders, employees, customers and the general public, and is committed to continuous improvement of our environmental management systems. EMC's ISO 14001 certification efforts have expanded to include manufacturing facilities worldwide to complement the existing ISO 9000 accreditations that are currently maintained in each facility.

EMC complies with applicable environmental legislation and regulations. We are working diligently with our employees, suppliers, and contractors to prevent pollution through reduce, reuse, and recycling efforts.

EMC's environmental commitment is integral to our corporate vision, mission, and values. This commitment is reflected in our ongoing efforts to:

• Align our production processes to minimize our impact on the environment.
• Reduce our energy consumption.
• Develop products with consideration for environmental impact.
• Dispose of waste generated from operations in a correct manner.
• Monitor and control emissions and discharges from our facilities.
• Actively communicate with interested parties that may be affected by our environment performance.
• Actively raise awareness of environment issues for EMC employees.

This policy will be actively reviewed on a regular basis and will be updated to reflect changes in operational and legislative circumstances.
