At Samsara, our success is intertwined with the network of suppliers who help us realize our vision to improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the operations that power the global economy. Our suppliers play a crucial role in our supply chain, partnering with Samsara to ensure our state-of-the-art solutions are expertly engineered and produced for our customers. As we continue to innovate and push the boundaries of what's possible, it's essential to acknowledge and celebrate the relationships that help us deliver on our mission.
We are excited to launch the Samsara Supplier of the Year Program to celebrate the remarkable contributions of our suppliers. This program is designed to recognize partners who have distinguished themselves in Partnership and Sustainability-showcasing the value of strong, proactive collaboration and a commitment to environmental responsibility.
The Partnership Award recognizes suppliers who go above and beyond in their collaboration with Samsara. This award is given to suppliers who not only meet our high standards in manufacturing, but also align closely with our core values by upholding our Business Partner Code of Conduct. These partnerships are integral to our mission as they enhance our ability to introduce groundbreaking products that serve the complex needs of our customers.
This year's winner is Wistron NeWeb Corporation (WNC), a supplier whose exemplary partnership and operational flexibility were vital in supporting Samsara's dynamic product needs. Notably, WNC has helped us build a more robust supply chain by seamlessly relocating production of our Asset Gateway to a new geography. This flexibility aligns with our priority to ensure supply chain resilience through geographic diversification.
The Sustainability Award recognizes suppliers who lead the way in implementing environmentally friendly practices. This award celebrates organizations that significantly reduced carbon footprints and innovated in sustainable product design, supporting Samsara's net-zero emissions goal.This year's winner, Sercomm, stands out for their leadership in sustainable manufacturing practices. Sercomm operates the facility that builds our VG55 product with 100% renewable geothermal energy, significantly reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, their public goals on greenhouse gas emissions closely align with Samsara's commitments.
Sercomm also made significant strides in sustainable product design, qualifying recycled materials into our VG55 product, which aligns with Samsara's sustainability goals. Their efforts to achieve 80% landfill waste reduction by 2025 marks a significant step in sustainable practices within our supply chain.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all our suppliers, with special recognition to WNC and Sercomm, for their exceptional contributions this year. These partnerships are not just foundational to our business success; they are vital to the innovation and quality that our customers expect from us.
Together, we are not just building products; we are shaping a more connected and sustainable world.
