Governance and Operating Practices
Responsibility for environmental stewardship reaches from the Board of Directors to every plant, where a manager is designated to monitor environmental performance and ensure compliance with internal and external standards. The Ethics and Environmental Policy Committee, composed of corporate officers, oversees all of Emerson’s environmental activities. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors annually reviews Emerson’s environmental programs and projects. Emerson’s Corporate Environmental Affairs Department is responsible for overseeing the Company’s compliance with environmental laws and regulations around the world, conducting employee training, and managing audit programs and environmental projects. The Environmental Affairs Department also serves as a clearinghouse for the divisions, sharing successful environmental case histories from inside and outside the Company, relevant materials on environmental issues, and literature on new environmental products and alternative manufacturing processes.
