We leverage our deep product development, engineering and operations expertise to create products that reduce our environmental impacts, and those of our OEM partners and suppliers.
Climate Change
Climate change is the biggest environmental challenge facing our planet. We take our corporate responsibility seriously, working to reduce the carbon intensity of our operations and products.
In 2023, we expanded our greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory beyond our own operations (Scopes 1 and 2) to analyze our value chain (Scope 3) emissions.
We found that our operations account for less than 1% of our footprint compared to 99% in our value chain.
The majority of our impact lies in two categories: consumer use of our products over their lifetimes at 60% and the materials used in our products at 36%.
We are investing in renewable electricity to reduce our operational impacts. To reduce the impact of our products, we are investigating lower carbon materials and energy-efficient technologies.
1 Electricity emissions were calculated using the market-based method. Using the location-based method, resulting emissions are 2,483 MT CO2e
Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% in 2025
Achieve 100% renewable electricity (Scope 2) in 2025
Set a Scope 3 emissions goal in 2024
Our product safety team works to ensure the use of chemicals in our products complies with all relevant regulations wherever our products are sold. Our global restricted substances list is maintained by a third-party certification company and aligns with the European Union’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) and other regulations. All suppliers are required to adhere to our restricted substances list and we test for certain restricted and regulated substances through an independent third-party laboratory.
