We’re reducing our operational emissions. And making an impact around the world.

 

The energy efficiency improvements we’re driving across our business are intended to help lower our long-term operating costs while delivering other tangible benefits.

We continue to make progress across our global enterprise toward reducing our overall operational environmental footprint, including increasing energy efficiency and reducing emissions and waste.

Scope 1 & 2 Progress to Goal

Goal: 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 from a 2022 baseline.¹

Renewable Energy is Key

Transitioning our operations to renewable energy is reducing our total electrical load and carbon intensity.

Our Decarbonization Efforts

Goodbye to Waste

We’re achieving Zero Waste to Landfill status by minimizing waste and reusing and recycling wherever possible.

See Our Plan

Investing in energy efficiency drives value for our stakeholders while helping to reduce our emissions and decarbonizing our operations. We see these efforts as an opportunity to continuously improve our operations and support our bottom line. Investing in sustainability yields tangible results from a number of angles.

1. Scope 1: All direct emissions from those activities under our control, stationary and mobile, including on-site fuel combustion such as gas-fire furnaces and boilers. Scope 2: Market-based Indirect emissions from electricity purchased, accounting for renewable energy credits. The Company’s infrastructure business was divested on April 1, 2024 and therefore all metrics in this report only reflect 2024 data through that date unless otherwise noted. The infrastructure business scope 1, scope 2 market-based, scope 2 location-based, and scope 3 (categories 1, 4, and 11) emissions included in this report were 3,128, 1,500, 1,508, and 139,196 metric tons of CO₂e, respectively.

3. We encourage employee participation in identifying and implementing projects to enhance energy efficiency at manufacturing and distribution sites, with examples including LED lighting upgrades, forklift electrification, air compressor leak repairs, HVAC maintenance, and installation of automatic switches. Data is based on internal program documentation and reports as of December 31, 2024.

4. Data represents the total amount of waste diverted from landfill based on internal tracking and reporting systems, including through recycling programs and incineration with energy recovery.

5. Our Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWTL) performance includes waste reuse, recycling, and incineration, with energy recovery as part of our waste management strategy. Data represents the total number of sites achieving ZWTL status as of December 31, 2024. We have an established, internally driven ZWTL policy, along with specific achievement criteria. Our ZWTL goal applies to our manufacturing facilities and distribution centers where we have operational control.
