For our customers, we offer a portfolio of products and business solutions that help improve sustainability performance while increasing efficiency, productivity and profitability.

We have a long history of partnering with customers to deploy innovative, energy-efficient technologies that improve safety and reduce impacts to the environment. Our approach enables businesses around the world to lower raw material use and operating costs, reduce energy and water use, decrease waste and air emissions and increase productivity.

We also incorporate sustainability concepts such as reduced resource consumption, material selection and life cycle impacts into our product design, manufacturing, quality and supply chain programs.

For more information on how we improve our customers’ sustainability performance, please see the Marketplace section of our Sustainability Report, where we have highlighted several case studies demonstrating the sustainability benefits of our solutions.

We measure and reduce energy use, carbon emissions, water use, hazardous and non-hazardous waste generation at our operations. 

For the past year, we set a 2% absolute reduction for each of these environmental key performance indicators (KPIs) for our manufacturing locations.  This year, we have again set reduction targets of 2% versus last year’s results.

We also measure carbon emissions from our fleet and airline business travel.

For more information on our progress toward measuring and reducing our environmental footprint, please see the 2012 Performance Highlights and Environment sections of our Sustainability Report.

We are committed to improving workplace safety. This past year, we again demonstrated strong performance in our injury/illness incident frequency rates and we have established continuous improvement goals over the next three years. We also have strong programmes in place to ensure we work safely while at customer sites.

Further, we strive to attract and retain the best employees and to make Invensys a place where high-performing people choose to be, where they can enhance their lives and careers and are motivated to perform at their best.

Lastly, we are committed to investing in the communities in which we live and work and understand that interaction with the communities in which we operate is best coordinated locally and customised to local needs.

For more information on our safety programmes and our commitment to our employees and communities, please see the Workplace/Employees and Communities sections of our Sustainability Report.

Our Invensys Values, the Invensys Code of Conduct, our Supplier Code of Conduct and our approach to governance ensures the highest standards of ethical and honest behaviour in everything we do.

We continue to communicate our sustainability performance through the Invensys Annual Report and Accounts, our Sustainability Report and our Corporate Responsibility web site. We believe that we have presented our challenges and accomplishments, as well as risks and opportunities, accurately and transparently.
