common understanding of what’s happening across its myriad networks.
For the second consecutive year, Flex has been recognized in the
Sustainability Leadership category. This year, Flex-founded company
Sinctronics was recognized for its leadership in the circular economy.
Sinctronics collects electronics materials to be refurbished or
re-manufactured, and designs products to facilitate reuse, enabling the
IT industry to combat electronic waste and pollution and become more
sustainable.
The Flex XR Stream Remote Assistance Augmented Reality Application was
recognized in the Enterprise Integration & Technology Leadership
