Code of Business Conduct and Ethics - Micron

What We Aim For
Micron strives to respect society’s values and to honor the Company’s commitment
to address society’s expectations of Micron as a business, employer and corporate
citizen. This means following responsible environmental practices, avoiding all corrupt
business practices, helping to solve social problems and participating in the political
process only in lawful ways.
Environmental Compliance And Excellence
Environmental laws are essential to protect the public health and welfare and to
preserve the environment. These laws are designed to ensure the air, water and land
are healthy and that industrial and other activities do not pose unreasonable risks to
people and the environment.
Micron understands that the Company, its team members and the communities in
which it operates benefit from environmental laws and the principles they uphold.
Accordingly, Micron is committed to strict compliance with these laws worldwide.
Strict compliance means:
• Obtaining all permits and other authorizations prior to construction or operation
as required;
• Operating in compliance with all applicable standards and limitations on release to
the air, water and land;
• Using only approved materials according to applicable requirements;
• Performing all required monitoring, record keeping and reporting;
• Minimizing waste;
• Implementing emergency and other contingency plans;
• Responsibly managing all waste, by-products, used equipment and other materials
sent off site;
• Ensuring all team members have adequate training commensurate with their roles
and responsibilities; and
• Conducting appropriate due diligence for property transactions.
Compliance with environmental laws is only the starting point of Micron’s
environmental commitment. We are also committed to reducing the environmental
impact of our activities while providing quality products that meet the needs of
our customers.
Consistent with our environmental policy and principles, every team member
is required to:
• Know the environmental responsibilities of his or her job, and conduct all
operations and other business in accordance with all applicable environmental laws,
regulations, permits, other governmental approvals, requirements and corporate
commitments. For many, these are based on local, state and federal environmental
laws in the U.S., international standards where we operate abroad, and Company
standards for environmental protection. For others, they may relate to a corporate
commitment, a business goal or objective, or even some aspects of supply chain
management; and

Q
We use a contractor to
recycle cell phones. I know
the contractor’s crew chief,
and I get the feeling that
the contractor may not be
recycling the cell phones at its
facility the right way, at least
not according to what the law
says. Should I care about this?
After all, it is not my facility
or company. And,
it is just cell phones – not
some toxic substance. Plus,
they are probably saving
everyone money.
A
Yes, you should care. What
the contractor is doing might
make Micron liable. Micron
might be potentially liable
for any material that leaves
the site. Not all substances,
material and equipment are
equally harmful, but all must
be properly managed. Do the
right thing. Talk with your
supervisor, local environmental
or facilities representative,
the Corporate Environmental
Manager, the
Legal Department or call the
Compliance Hotline.
