Environmental – Non-toxic materials: All materials used in the packaging of our gear comply with Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) requirements and contain no toxins. – Processing e-waste: We offer customers an option to recover their end-of-life electronic equipment, ensuring proper disposal, primarily through certified e-waste collection and recycling schemes. Per the latest Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directives, we engage a compliance firm to perform services, such as registration and reporting, to ensure that we are in compliance wherever we do business. What’s Next For the fiscal year ending in 2022, we will continue to focus on key priorities — reducing our energy and water use, and our waste — while also advancing new practices to assess, report, and reduce our carbon emissions. Namely, we aim to: – Establish science-based targets (SBTs) for reductions of greenhouse gas emissions – Quantify the carbon footprint of our equipment installed at customer sites to report Scope 3 emissions – Improve NetApp’s CDP climate change score 33
