Environment, Health, and Safety
Two Decades of Commitment
Since Xilinx was founded twenty years ago, the values fostered by both management and employees focus on employee safety and satisfaction, being a friend to the global environment, and pursuing a sense of community both inside and outside the company. At Xilinx, our EHS Policy sustains and promotes these values.

EHS Leadership
We don't just talk about these values. We live them every day through the following:
- Environmental Leadership - From innovations in our workplaces to product design, manufacture, and shipment, Xilinx is always looking for ways to leave a smaller trace on the environment.
- Safety Leadership - Focused on protecting workers and preventing all injuries, at Xilinx, safety is a #1 concern.
- Community Relations - Xilinx pursues a sense of community leadership inside and outside the company. People reach out beyond the walls of Xilinx and seek to change the communities around us. For Xilinx, helping out is as natural as breathing.
Xilinx Code of Social Responsibility
Xilinx has a long-standing commitment to the protection of the environment, to providing a safe, healthful and responsibly managed work environment and to promoting positive community relations. Furthermore, Xilinx has always been committed to transparent business practices and to the highest ethical standards. These commitments are embedded in our company vision and engrained in the Xilinx Code of Social Responsibility. The Code summarizes Xilinx commitments to fair labor practices, ethical business standards and environment, health and safety protection. This Code is based upon the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct, and it draws upon several existing Xilinx documents, including:
