We focus on continuous improvement of our energy efficiency across our manufacturing sites as energy use is one of the largest contributors to our overall GHG emissions. Energy efficiency also plays a pivotal role in our business strategy as we strive to offer essential technologies that support smart meters, solar panels and energy storage systems in the market.

We strive to use our natural resources responsibly and have implemented Lean projects in our facilities to help optimize our water usage. While our business is not uniformly water-intensive, we have evaluated our sites to determine which locations are in water-stressed areas and established annual water reduction targets for those sites where we can make the greatest impact.
