Politique environnementale d’Ooma, Inc.
Ooma, Inc. cherche à établir et à maintenir un héritage environnemental positif pour nous et pour les générations futures. Nous voulons que nos produits et services fassent partie d’une société durable.
Nous nous engageons à :
- Concevoir des produits pour réduire leur impact environnemental négatif lors de l’emballage, de la production, de l’utilisation et de l’élimination.
- Réduire la consommation de ressources, les déchets et la pollution dans nos opérations.
- En appliquant les mêmes principes environnementaux que nous suivons aux vendeurs, fournisseurs, sous-traitants, détaillants et recycleurs de nos produits.
- Accorder une importance appropriée à cette politique environnementale lors de la prise de décisions futures en matière de planification et d’investissement.
- Prendre en compte les risques et les opportunités liés au climat lors de l’élaboration de stratégies et de la prise de décisions commerciales.
Plus précisément, lorsque cela est applicable et approprié, nous cherchons à préserver l’eau, l’énergie et les écosystèmes, à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (y compris la réduction de la consommation d’énergie provenant de sources non renouvelables), à minimiser les déchets et à sensibiliser le public à la durabilité environnementale. Nous cherchons à identifier et à comprendre l’impact direct et indirect de nos activités et à envisager des solutions réalistes pour atténuer ces impacts. Nous respectons également les lois et réglementations environnementales applicables.
DOMAINES D’INTERVENTION ENVIRONNEMENTALE
Eau et énergie
Nous avons pour objectif d’améliorer l’efficacité de nos opérations en matière d’eau et d’énergie. Cela comprend la gestion de l’eau et de l’énergie pour réduire notre consommation. Par exemple, notre siège social est situé dans un bâtiment certifié argent par le Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, ou LEED. Nous nous efforçons de respecter toutes les lois et réglementations relatives à notre utilisation de l’eau et à l’élimination des eaux usées. Nous n’avons eu aucun incident de non-respect des permis, normes ou réglementations relatifs à la qualité ou à la quantité de l’eau.
Déchets
Nous cherchons à minimiser les déchets dans le cadre de nos opérations et de nos activités commerciales. Cela comprend l’élimination des déchets de manière consciencieuse et créative en faisant de « réduire/réutiliser/recycler » notre procédure opérationnelle standard. Nous cherchons également à intégrer la réduction des déchets dans la conception de nos produits, programmes et installations, et à réduire les déchets grâce au recyclage en fin de vie.
We implement business waste recycling programs in our office locations, including providing receptacles for composting and for recycling paper, metal, and plastic products. To the extent practicable, we reuse electronic products and parts internally. When internal reuse is not possible, we work with vendors to recycle them.
We continually strive to identify new ways to make our product packaging more sustainable. Ongoing strategies to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging include using recyclable materials in our packaging, sourcing packaging materials locally, replacing plastic packaging with sustainable materials, and reducing the amount of packaging materials altogether.
Ecosystem Conservation
We support efforts in wildlife and habitat conservation and to preserving the earth’s biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Where applicable, we aim to integrate natural resource conservation in our future planning, development and operations activities.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Where applicable or appropriate, our climate change strategy is seeking to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions by identifying the sources and proposing solutions, including source elimination, efficiency improvement, minimizing transportation and other fuels, and increasing the use of clean fuels. We also aim to examine our supply chain to achieve improvement. For example, we require our vendors and suppliers to comply with the principles set forth herein in our Vendor Code of Conduct.
Opportunities
We recognized that climate change also presents an opportunity for those who will be part of the solution. Many of our solutions and services help eliminate commutes and reduce business travel by improving telephone and video communications.
In turn, our solutions and services can also help our customers achieve their energy reduction goals.
Risk-Mitigation
We believe policy changes, market changes, severe weather and other long-term climate-related risks could affect our business, strategy, financial planning, operations and supply chain. To address these and other risks, our planning identifies, assesses, and manages the risk of natural disaster, infectious disease, employee safety, protection of assets, customer service, and other business continuity requirements.
Our board of directors has delegated primary responsibility for the oversight of risks facing the company to our audit committee. Our audit committee charter states that the committee “will review and discuss with management and the independent auditor, as appropriate, the Company’s guidelines and policies with respect to financial risk management and financial risk assessment, including the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the steps taken by management to monitor and control these exposures.”
Environmental and Climate-Related Risk Factors
For additional discussion of climate-related risks to our business, strategy, and financial planning, operations and supply chain, please see the Risk Factors section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, available at https://investors.ooma.com/financial-information/sec-filings.
Legal & Regulatory
We continually evaluate aspects of legal and regulatory risk in new product development planning and continuous business improvement. Our operations are affected by national, state, and local laws around the world. We have made, and plan to continue making, necessary expenditures for compliance with applicable laws. Climate change concerns and the potential resulting environmental impact may result in new or more stringent environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations that may affect us, our suppliers, and our customers. Such laws or regulations could cause us to incur additional direct costs for compliance, as well as increased indirect costs resulting from our customers, suppliers or both, incurring additional compliance costs that are passed on to us. These costs may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. However, our current analysis has not identified climate factors as an enterprise risk with a substantive financial impact.
Physical
Any of our primary locations may be vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. For example, our offices and facilities in California have experienced, and are projected to continue to experience, climate-related events at an increasing frequency, including drought, heat waves, wildfires and power shutoffs associated with wildfire prevention. Changing market dynamics, global policy developments and the increasing frequency and impact of extreme weather events on critical infrastructure in the U.S. and elsewhere have the potential to disrupt our business, our third-party suppliers and our customers, and may cause us to experience higher churn, losses and additional costs to maintain or resume operations.
Supply Chain
We mitigate supply chain risks through a variety of management practices, including multi-sourcing raw materials where possible, and maintaining contingency plans with key suppliers to assure allocation to us in the event of supply disruption. Our analysis has not identified climate factors as an enterprise risk with a substantive financial impact.
Upstream
We depend on various components, compounds, and raw materials supplied by others for the manufacturing of our products. It is possible that any of our supplier relationships could be interrupted due to natural and other disasters and other events, or be terminated in the future. Our analysis has not identified climate factors as an enterprise risk with a substantive financial impact.
Downstream
Nous évaluons l’utilisation et l’élimination prévues de nos produits et identifions les dangers et les risques associés à l’utilisation et à l’élimination de nos produits. L’atténuation de ces risques est très diversifiée et spécifique à chaque produit. Notre analyse n’a pas identifié les facteurs climatiques comme un risque d’entreprise ayant un impact financier substantiel.
