Protecting the environment, meeting or exceeding government requirements, and reducing consumption of energy in the countries in which we do business are fundamental parts of the company’s operating policies. While environmental accountability may begin with regulatory compliance, at Emerson we are committed to integrating environmental responsibility and energy efficiency within our business mission of cost-effective operations and strong financial performance for our shareholders.
Our role and responsibility in environmental stewardship occurs on several levels:
-
Compliance with laws designed to protect the natural environment.
-
Identifying the most cost-effective and energy efficient processes for our manufacturing needs.
-
Developing new technologies and product solutions that help our customers address environmental and energy use challenges.
-
Meeting the expectations of our shareholders, customers, employees and neighbors in the communities in which we operate.
Compliance alone isn’t enough
In addition to our commitment to full compliance with the laws and regulations of each of the countries in which we operate, we actively seek and implement practices that help us eliminate or reduce the use of hazardous materials, minimize waste production, and conserve natural resources.
From the floors of our factories to the design centers where we hone our products, environmental responsibility and energy conservation are basic guiding principles in our efforts to improve our regulatory accountability, our efficiency and productivity, and our management process.
Whether we are developing a new system for cleaning parts that will minimize toxic emissions or simply reusing packing materials in a concentrated recycling program, we are constantly searching for new ways of incorporating environmentally responsible practices into our operations and making them essential tactics in our day-to-day business strategy.
