This past year has represented the start of a transformation for this company.

When I assumed the role of CEO, I prioritized cultivating an exceptional culture, transforming our industry-leading portfolio and continuing to drive the best-in-class execution that has long been a hallmark of Emerson. Our efforts to drive Emerson’s leadership on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues have been a top priority across these areas.

Emerson’s ESG commitment mirrors our unified global Purpose: “We drive innovation that makes the world healthier, safer, smarter and more sustainable.” Our 86,700 employees live out this charge to not only identify opportunities for efficiencies and improvements today, but also to reimagine what our company and our world could look like tomorrow.

Taking Action On Environmental Sustainability

Recent scientific reports continue to reinforce the urgency of climate change and meeting goals set out in the Paris Climate Agreement. We all have a role in these efforts.

In 2021, we appointed Mike Train as Chief Sustainability Officer. This role, part of our Office of the Chief Executive, reflects our focus on sustainability across our company. Under his leadership, Emerson has made significant strides, and we are strengthening our leadership position as our customers and suppliers work to deliver their environmental targets.

As part of our longstanding commitment to operational execution and excellence, we remain dedicated to doing our part as a global business leader to drive tangible, sustainable business practices and to help our customers around the world do the same.

Driving Progress On Social Issues

As a global company operating across industries and geographic borders, our technologies and innovations are grounded in helping people live better lives. Advancement in this area starts within our own walls.
