Environmental Management System
Energy Usage and Intensity
We are committed to reducing our overall energy consumption. We have set a target to reduce our energy intensity (normalized against revenue) by 15% by 2024 (compared to our 2021 baseline), and we include energy management in our annual strategic planning process to help us pursue that goal.
GHG Emissions and Carbon Reduction Program
The urgent threat presented by climate change requires a global effort to reduce carbon emissions. We are committed to doing our part through our plan to cut our carbon emissions intensity in half by 2030 (compared to our 2021 baseline).
Water Consumption
Our role as water stewards requires us to be as diligent about managing water use in our own operations as we are about creating products that help customers conserve water.
Waste and Recycling
Our waste reduction and recycling efforts extend beyond our commitment to using recycled materials in our products.
