3Except where noted, environmental data represents a global scope of 28 significant production, research & development and support facilities' reported data. Reflects discontinued operations at Schaidt, Germany in April 2013; Bridgend, UK in August 2013; Potters Bar, UK in November, 2015; Martin Frederikshavn, Denmark in May 2016.
4Energy use is comprised of the total reported usage of electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil for significant locations of operation.
Legacy Symphony Teleca locations began reporting data in April 2015. At the time of reporting, energy use data was not available for: FY2016 — Manaus and Nova Santa Rita, Brazil; FY2015 & FY2016 — Seoul, South Korea support offices and Chateau-du-Loire, France; FY2012 through FY2015 for Louth, UK.
5Legacy Symphony Teleca locations began reporting data in April 2015. At the time of reporting, water withdrawal data was not available for: FY2015 & FY2016 - Seoul, South Korea support offices and Chateau-du-Loire, France; FY2012 through FY2015 for Louth, UK.
6Legacy Symphony Teleca locations began reporting data in April 2015. At the time of reporting, data was not available for: FY2016 - Manaus and Nova Santa Rita, Brazil; FY2015 & FY2016 - Seoul, South Korea support offices and Chateau-du-Loire, France; FY2012 through FY2015 for Louth, UK.
Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated from total reported electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, and refrigerant (R134A, R410A, R22, R-404A) usage at significant locations of operation.
Base year emissions are from FY2012; this has since been updated to include data from the Vienna facility. Refrigerant data available for FY2015 and FY2016 only.
Other Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Scope 3) data available for FY2014 - FY2016 only.

7Data scope excludes Shanghai, China; Shenzen, China; Bangalore, India; legacy Symphony Teleca locations in India; Seoul, South Korea; Schaidt, Germany; Potters Bar, UK; Bridgend, UK; Martin Frederikshavn, Denmark; and Juarez, Mexico. Data was unavailable for these locations at the time of reporting.
8The sum of regional new hires may differ from total new hires due to a difference in accounting. The increase in employees in FY2015 and FY2016 reflects the Symphony Teleca acquisition.
9The sum of regional terminations may differ from total terminations due to a difference in accounting. The increase in employees in FY2015 and FY2016 reflects the Symphony Teleca acquisition.
