MELBOURNE, Australia, March 22, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE:IR), a global provider of mission-critical flow
creation and industrial solutions, is proud to set its 2030 and 2050
environmental goals. With a focus on improving AIR, LAND, and WATER, the goals
are designed to reduce the impact of the company's operations and products on
the environment, and support customers and partners in doing the same. Focusing
on energy (air), water and waste (land), these goals cover specific elements
such as renewable energy utilization, reduction of air emission, recycling of
water resources, reduction of waste generation and landfill volume. These goals
demonstrate the importance of Ingersoll Rand's "Operate Sustainably" strategic
imperative, and the commitment to achieve them are part of Ingersoll Rand's
overall Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) efforts to Make Life Better
for the good of our employees, customers, communities and planet.
The environmental goals, being aggressive and inspiring, yet achievable,
reflect Ingersoll Rand's corporate values of bias for action, and will be
accomplished using Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) along with
continued product enhancements and innovation. Ingersoll Rand's products and
services provide a unique opportunity to contribute to solving pressing climate
change issues facing our world in areas such as water and energy consumption.
Equally important, and a key advantage to Ingersoll Rand, is using the
discipline of Ingersoll Rand Execution Excellence (IRX) to provide the focused
accountability that will deliver the performance we want.
Ingersoll Rand commits to making a positive impact on our shared planet with
the following environmental goals:
- Realize net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050
- Invest in renewable energy to meet our 100% target by 2050
- Reduce GHG emissions by 60% in our operations (Scope 1 and Scope 2) and
reduce customer GHG impacts >15% from IR products (Scope 3) by 2030
- Reduce water use 17% in our operations by 2030
- By 2030, eliminate, reduce or recycle >1 billion gallons of water annually in
our customers' processes and applications through the use of our products
Achieve zero waste to landfill at >50% of current sites by 2030
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Classifications
Scope 1 – GHG, direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by IR.
Includes fossil fuel combustion and fleet fuel consumption.
Scope 2 – GHG, indirect emissions from sources owned or controlled by IR.
Emissions result from the generation of electricity, heat or steam purchased by
IR.
Scope 3 – GHG, emissions from assets not owned or controlled by IR, but which
IR indirectly impacts (i.e., emissions from our products).
Emission impacts are measured in MT CO2e (metric tons of carbon dioxide
equivalent)
The above goals were chosen using a series of intentional activities, including
sustainability materiality assessments, focused on identifying the topics and
areas that had not just the most impact on the Ingersoll Rand's core business,
but also on the company's stakeholders. Employees participated in these
assessments, alongside customers, supply chain partners, and investors. The
results were then analyzed and shared in the company's first Sustainability
Report, which covered a range of topics related to sustainability, notably: Our
Employees, Energy Use and Product Stewardship/New Product Development and
Innovation.
Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and ownership mindset, Ingersoll Rand
encourages all employees to actively participate and engage in lowering
environmental impacts, conservation education, projects and community outreach
is what helps us make life better at work, in our communities and in the lives
and work of our customers as they use our products. We are establishing green
teams at each major site to develop site specific projects to help us achieve
our goals.
Ingersoll Rand will drive accountability and progress through Ingersoll Rand
Execution Excellence (IRX), and provide transparency on progress through its
annual Sustainability Report. Ingersoll Rand's 2020 Sustainability Report is
scheduled to be released in May 2021.
