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 following principles:

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.
