Solutions That Matter: Highlights from the 2024 Impact Report

Every day, we think hard about how to improve the world through innovative and sustainable solutions. It’s why our sustainability mantra is, ‘Earth Day, Every Day.’

With today’s launch of our 2024 Impact Report titled, “Solutions That Matter,” we go beyond sharing our green initiatives and are pleased to showcase our advancements in company culture, safety and operational excellence and upgrades our team members are passionate about.

To bring this report to customers, sustainability influencers, internal team members and the general industry, we’re highlighting how the work and collaborative efforts of our team members, known as solution makers, has led to innovative designs, efficient plant upgrades and award-winning advancements from around the world. And these wins span all three branches of our ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) pillars.

What’s new since the last the report:

• With our employees taking the lead, we’ve doubled the number of employee resource groups, increasing acceptance and respect sentiment by 30% in team surveys.
• We achieved over 90% waste recycling across our EMEA sites.
• We were awarded "Sustainability Initiative of the Year" by Business Intelligence Group’s 2023 Sustainability Awards for composting 94,000 pounds in food waste.

As we strive to make ‘Earth Day, Every Day,’ we’ve developed 2025 goals for our operations.

• Increasing the volume of recyclable waste by 3% year-over-year by diverting waste from landfills
• Reducing energy consumption by 3% year-over-year
• Achieving a 10% year-over-year improvement in Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR)

“We’re proud to release this year’s Impact Report, showcasing the dedication of our team to support customers in meeting their sustainability goals while driving our own ESG initiatives forward,” says Peter Ryan, Chief People Officer & General Counsel. “Our commitment to safety, belonging and sustainable innovation goes beyond doing what’s right—it reflects who we are and what we genuinely care about as a company.”

Our journey is ongoing. We proudly present to you, “Solutions That Matter,” our 2024 Impact Report.
