Environment

Environmental Policy

Xplore Technologies is committed to managing health, safety, and environmental (HS&E)
matters as an integral part of our business. In particular, it is our policy to assure the HS&E
integrity of our processes and facilities at all times and at all places. We will do so by adhering to
the principles of compliance, risk reduction, prevention management, communication, and
continuous improvement as described in this chapter.

Compliance

We will comply with applicable laws and regulations and will implement programs and
procedures to assure compliance. Compliance with HS&E standards will be a key ingredient in
the training, performance reviews, and incentives of all employees.

Risk Reduction and Prevention Management

We will seek opportunities, beyond compliance requirements, for reducing risk to human health
and the environment, and we will establish and meet our own HS&E quality standards where
appropriate.
We will employ management systems and procedures specifically designed to prevent activities
and/or conditions that pose a threat to human health, safety, or the environment. We will look
for ways to minimize risk and protect our employees and the communities in which we operate
by employing clean technology, including safe technologies and operating procedures, as well
as being prepared for emergencies.
We will strive to minimize releases to the air, land, or water through use of cleaner technologies
and the safer use of chemicals. We will minimize the amount and toxicity of waste generated
and will ensure the safe treatment and disposal of waste. We will manage scarce resources, such
as water, energy, land, and forests in an environmentally sensitive manner.
