SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

Our Road to Sustainability: Increase Efficiency every Day!

At Quality Power we believe that contributing to a more sustainable environment is good business
practice and the right contributions for our future generations. As a leading Engineering Multinational
with a significant workforce, we have an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution in improving
our environment.
And we shall do so by using resources more efficiently, providing eco-friendly products that meet
customer expectations and striving to reduce our overall impact on the environment.
We must, however, operate within the bounds of good business decision-making so that each action
we take is measurable, sustainable and enduring. Quality Power’s commitment to sustainability is
multi-dimensional.
We will be aggressive in our drive to eliminate wasteful behavior. In some cases, this requires consistent application of very simple principles, such as reminding our associates to turn off lights when rooms are not in use, to print fewer hard copies of e-mails, to recycle waste, to optimize facility performance and to use mass transit for commuting to work. In other cases, we will be pursuing systematic improvements to the way we do business, such as better targeting customer mailing lists and shifting marketing to electronic media so we are printing and sending fewer printed advertisements.

We will reduce our use of scarce resources in a meaningful way. Quality Power will pursue ongoing programs to consume less electricity and water, reduce our waste stream and try to implement the use of renewable energy. We will use fewer paper-related products, recycle more and seek to use paper made with post-consumer waste. We will work to migrate more of our output from paper to electronic/digital, including large-scale projects such as internal reports. By doing so, we will reduce the company’s greenhouse gas footprint, energy consumption and costs.

Whenever possible and sensible within the context of our business requirements, Macy’s, Inc.
will pursue the most environmentally friendly solution by offering the customer the most energy efficient product and highlight the benefits of the same.

We will be as aggressive as possible in changing for the better to preserve endangered forests, wildlife, water quality and eco-systems. We will explore ways to make our packing materials eco friendly and reusable.

We will take a comprehensive approach to sustainability, involving everyone around us. Quality Power will advocate sustainability and renewability with our vendor partners, associates and customers. We will encourage our associates and ask them to support our initiatives with their ideas, energy, personal actions and volunteer time. We will support efforts in our communities and our nation to clean up the environment and reduce consumption of scarce resources.

We shall strive to use Energy efficient lightings and cooling solutions and incorporate use of maximum natural lighting in the architecture of the new projects.

We will measure what we do and strive toward quantifiable goals. Building on recent progress, Quality Power has set internal goals in this regard which is monitored under a specifically nominated senior managerial professional.
