Corporate Responsibility

Products and the Environment

We are shrinking the environmental footprint of our products by finding ways to reduce impacts at each stage of the lifecycle - design, manufacture, distribution, use and end-of-life.

This helps our customers reduce their environmental footprints and cut their energy costs. Our take-back programs provide added benefits by ensuring unwanted or obsolete equipment is reused, recycled or disposed of responsibly.

Better by design

We consider these environmentally conscious design principles for our products:

• Use environmentally preferred materials
• Improve energy efficiency
• Reduce packaging
• Increase the recyclability of our products
• Go beyond compliance

We operate take-back programs to collect our products for re-use, recycling and responsible disposal.
