"As Maxeon launches our third Sustainability Report, I am delighted that our continuous efforts for excellence in sustainability have been recognized this year as we are included in the 19th annual Corporate Knights' 2023 Global 100 Index of the most sustainable corporations, ranking in the top
As global emissions continue to increase, the importance of building products like Maxeon's that are carbon positive in their environmental impact by enabling customers to avoid emissions has never been more pressing. With this in mind, Maxeon has voluntarily made climate-related disclosures covering governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets in alignment with the TCFD framework to both promote its climate-related initiatives and to generate long term value for Maxeon's internal and external stakeholders.

In 2022, Maxeon launched Maxeon Gives in furtherance of these commitments, a program to empower employees to step up and nominate worthy not-for-profit organizations to receive solar panels donated by Maxeon. This program deepens the company's commitment to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 7, Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, and 10, Reduce inequality within and among countries.
