Our C02e intensity (per unit of sales) was reduced by 89% from 2021 vs 2024

Reducing CO₂ Emissions in Manufacturing: Our Commitment to Sustainability

We are proud to report that our CO₂e intensity (measured per unit of sales) has been reduced by an impressive 89% from 2021 to 2024. This significant reduction reflects our commitment to a comprehensive decarbonization strategy aimed at mitigating climate change and aligns with our core value of Sustainable Excellence.

The Urgency of Decarbonization

Manufacturing accounts for approximately 24% of global CO₂ emissions, with industrial energy use being a major contributor. The transition to lower-carbon manufacturing is essential for achieving the 1.5°C target outlined in the Paris Agreement.

Recognizing the importance of immediate action, we have already implemented several initiatives to significantly lower our carbon footprint while upholding our Sustainable Excellence commitment. We don’t just meet today’s standards – we create tomorrows. Our commitment to excellence means challenging old paradigms and pushing beyond ‘good enough.’ By weaving safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement into every process, we’re building more than quality products – we’re crafting a sustainable future.

Actions Taken to Reduce Carbon Emissions

• Comprehensive Energy Audit: Conducted a full-scale analysis to identify high-emission sources and inefficiencies.
• Energy-Efficient Operations: Installed LED lighting, optimized HVAC systems, and introduced smart energy management systems.
• Process Optimization: Implemented lean manufacturing principles to minimize energy waste and material use.
• Waste Reduction & Recycling: Enhanced material recycling programs and reduced industrial waste disposal.
• Sustainable Transportation: Encouraged carpooling, introduced incentives for public transit use, and evaluated fleet electrification.

Future Commitments and Advancements

To build on our progress, we are setting ambitious goals for further emission reductions through:

• Investment in Energy-Efficient Technologies: Upgrading to high-efficiency machinery and adopting Industry 4.0 solutions for real-time energy monitoring.
• Transition to Renewable Energy: Increasing reliance on solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, with a target to source at least 50% of our energy from renewables by 2030.
• Sustainable Supply Chain Practices: Partnering with suppliers who prioritize low-carbon materials and logistics, reinforcing our Sustainable Excellence approach throughout our operations.
• Transparent Progress Tracking: Establishing science-based targets and annual reporting to measure and communicate our sustainability progress.

Our Vision for a Sustainable Future

We recognize that decarbonization is a continuous process requiring innovation, investment, and collaboration. By integrating sustainability into every facet of our operations, we are not only reducing our environmental impact but also creating a resilient and future-ready manufacturing model.

Success demands both bold innovation and disciplined execution, and we embrace that challenge with open minds and unwavering standards. Guided by our Sustainable Excellence core value, we remain committed to driving meaningful change. We invite our employees, partners, and stakeholders to join us in this transformative journey toward a low-carbon future.

Sincerely,
Ronnie Ball
Vice President of Manufacturing
