Bruce Klafter, Vice President, Corporate Social & Environmental Responsibility at Flex

The Earth is warming

• The enormity of climate change makes it an enterprise risk as opposed to strictly an environmental matter.
• A key to assessing an enterprise-wide risk is integration with the rest of the business.
• Companies are utilizing a framework known as “TCFD”, Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosure.  TCFD includes consideration of governance, strategy, controls, and metrics.
• Many companies are also able to utilize this process to identify opportunities for new revenue and profitability, e.g. lean operations and energy efficiency, energy procurement, water management, development of products and services that help other companies do the same.
• Intangible benefits can also be realized, e.g. employee attraction and retention as the enterprise’s “purpose” becomes clearer.

Bruce Klafter is a respected leader in sustainability, environmental, health and safety (EH&S) and corporate responsibility circles. He joined Flex, a socially-responsible, global leader in design, manufacturing, distribution and aftermarket services, to provide strategic direction to the Company’s social and environmental responsibility initiatives. A highly effective communicator and team leader, Bruce continues to lend his expertise to numerous industry and professional development efforts. Prior to joining the technology sector, Bruce had a distinguished legal career in public and private practice, specializing in environmental and natural resources law.

Specialties: EH&S management; Sustainability and corporate responsibility; environmental law; corporate carbon accounting; sustainable supply chains; sustainability reporting; risk management; strategy; communication.
