Our Sustainability Report, formerly known as our Corporate Responsibility Report, includes sustainability and corporate social responsibility strategies and outcomes. The following resources highlight our global sustainability practices, strategies and achievements.
Our Sustainability Pillars
We conducted an extensive materiality assessment in 2020 to update and further inform our sustainability strategy with the assistance of ERM, a global leader in this field. We evaluated best-in-class approaches and conducted a peer review of industrial automation and business-to-business companies identifying issues most pertinent to our industry, including input from our customers, partners, employees, and investors. We prioritized the topics we defined as material and believe will create the most value for our company, customers, and communities under our three sustainability pillars—Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG).
Environment
We are committed to environmental stewardship within our own operations and across our entire value chain.
Customer Sustainability
We help customers achieve their sustainability goals by providing innovative ways to reduce waste and increase operational and resource efficiency across value chains.
Energy and Emissions Management
To demonstrate our leadership in energy and environmental stewardship, we manage our operations in a way that minimizes our emissions and energy use.
Responsible Supply Chain
We partner with suppliers responsibly, focusing on long-term sustainable solutions to make our business more resilient and help ensure continuity in a globally diverse ecosystem.
Social
Our people set us apart. By coming together to create a culture that values fairness and equity, where all people can and want to do their very best work, we are expanding human possibility.
Talent & Culture
Our ability to inspire, enable, and equip our people is how we innovate and outperform our competitors and deliver value to our customers.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We value diversity, inclusion, and cultural awareness and create an environment where all employees can learn and grow.
Workforce of Tomorrow
We improve and expand STEM and technical education, especially among underrepresented groups, to build a strong, diverse pipeline of prepared talent.
Occupational Health & Safety
Protecting the health, safety, and welfare of our employees and our customers’ employees is a core value.
Governance
Our committment to integrity defines who we are and how we act. We do what we say we will, always honestly and ethically, no exceptions.
Ethics & Compliance
Success never comes at the expense of doing what is right. We lead by example prioritizing ethics and integrity.
Cybersecurity
We work to ensure both our internal systems and our customers’ industrial control and automation systems are safe, secure, and resilient.
Product Quality & Safety
Customers can rely on us to deliver safe, high-quality products that meet the highest standards of regulatory compliance.
Enterprise Risk Management
We proactively identify significant risks that could potentially disrupt our business and impact our company, employees, and customers.
Corporate Governance
Our governance practices reflect a fundamental commitment to all of our stakeholders, and are focused on delivering value to our customers, investing in our employees, dealing fairly and ethically with our suppliers, supporting the communities in which we live and work, and generating long-term value for shareowners.
Sustainability Outcomes
Our strategy is based on Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) standards and remains focused on driving three outcomes.
