We take our responsibilities to the environment and the communities in which we operate very seriously.
Inherent in our purpose is creating a better world for our customers, our communities and society. It permeates all that we do. We are mindful of the impact of our operations and our products, and we care about our people and our external relationships. This inspires us to strive for a future that is more sustainable, inclusive and responsible. Our sustainability pillars - Empowering People, Sustainable Solutions and Climate Action - are of critical importance to our overall ambition to deliver sustainable, profitable growth, and many of our innovative engineered solutions help our customers to improve energy and operational efficiency, sustainability, and safety throughout their operations.
