ENGINEERING IMPACT FOR EVERYONE
Empowering Our Teams
We propel our purpose with deliberate action. Whether we're achieving zero lost-time incidents, protecting data privacy, fostering an inclusive associate community, or contributing over 100,000 volunteer hours, we power our progress with commitment and collaboration.
Designing with Purpose, Delivering with impact
Evaluating every product for impact. Relentlessly reducing the resources we use. Promoting public health. Collaborating across industries to tackle end-of-use head-on. Those are just some of the ways we design for impact. See how we’re doing in our 2025 Sustainability Report.
Intentionally Investing in the Well-Being of Our World
We're setting bold, measurable goals—striving to eliminate environmental violations entirely and to help drive meaningful change—like reducing indexed greenhouse gas emissions and solid waste by 25%, cutting water usage, achieving zero waste to landfill, and scaling our use of renewable energy to 100,000 MWh per year.
Committed to Help Reduce Emissions
By 2030, we aim to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and cut Scope 3 emissions by 30%. We commit to reducing total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% and neutralizing the remaining 10%.
Leading with Integrity, Guided by Transparency.
Clear governance builds trust. That’s why we outline the roles of our Board and leadership teams, so report readers can see how integrity guides our decisions, how we manage risks and opportunities, and how we measure progress through defined metrics and targets.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does sustainable manufacturing really mean?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency defines sustainable manufacturing as the creation of products through economically sound processes that minimise environmental impact and conserve energy and resources.
We take that definition further. For us, sustainable manufacturing means starting every process with the end in mind. Operating with the intention to reduce impacts on air, water, and landfill. Optimizing energy use and improving how raw materials are converted. And protecting the well-being of our people by operating safe, healthy facilities.
Because when we make every decision with purpose, we aim to ensure manufacturing makes a lasting difference for people, the planet, and the industries we serve.
How has sustainable manufacturing evolved?
Sustainability has...The intangible benefits of sustainable manufacturing include:
- Improved brand recognition and reputation
- Improved recruitment and retention
- Capability building
Since publishing our first Sustainability Report in 2018, we've used it as a tool to measure progress, share insights, and hold ourselves accountable. Our goals, centred on Planet, Product, People, and Net-Zero, guide our actions through 2025 and beyond. From reducing emissions, waste, and water use, to advancing circularity and protecting associate well-being, we're building a system of sustainability that scales.
We continue to build on our strong foundation by listening closely to our stakeholders, surfacing valuable insights, and driving continual, measurable progress, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering lost-time incidents.
