Best Buy Fiscal Year 2022 ESG Report | 16 Diversion rate 69% FY20 65% FY19 72% FY22 Waste reduction . Employee engagement. Employee engagement is a key component of our waste- reduction strategy. In FY22, corporate teams partnered with field employees to develop a waste-minimization and recycling assessment tool to maximize the materials recycled at our locations. We also created three new e-learnings that support our waste-minimization efforts that focus on how to properly recycle materials using equipment in supply chain locations. Our employees are demonstrating their commitment to the environment by organizing “green teams” in several supply chain locations. Members are supporting the waste-diversion strategy by educating colleagues and innovating around further environmental improvements. Other FY22 accomplishments: • We are partnering upstream with appliance vendors to be part of the solution to minimize waste in our distribution centers. As an example, we encouraged a vendor to transition from using adhesives such as glue to using removable tape, allowing in-bound shipping containers and product packaging to be fully recycled. • We are optimizing the number of trips for our trash haulers by using automated compactor monitors. Hauls are scheduled only when compactors are full, lowering our carbon footprint and creating efficiency. We  updated  our  FY21  waste  diversion  rate  and  pounds  of  material  recycled  to  align  with  methodology  that  uses  the  EPA’s  standardized  weight  for  pallets  and  due  to  more  precise  data  provided  by  our  suppliers.  In  its  disposal  of  hazardous  materials,  Best  Buy  utilizes  authorized  methods,  including  recycling,  incineration,  and  use  of  authorized  landfills.
