Sustainability at Celestica

Our Sustainability Strategy

Our strategy aims to drive environmental sustainability; support our local communities; and create a vibrant, positive workplace that empowers our people. We work to achieve this through a range of global programs that minimize the environmental impact of our operations and supply chain; instill best-in-class employment practices; and help to address social challenges where we live and work.

Sustainability Highlights

United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals

Celestica has adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) as part of our sustainability strategy and corporate social responsibility programs. The goals promote strategies to address poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. We are prioritizing four goals where we believe we will have the biggest impact.
