As part of our product development approach, we draw on scientific insights and novel technical solutions and materials to expand the features and improve the sustainability of our products. Increasingly, our product designs are made with fewer and lower-emission materials and have a higher degree of modularity. Our Design for Environment Principles provide guidance for new product development and redesign efforts, targeting the full product lifecycle.

Our commitment to science-based targets for the reduction of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is an additional motivation to design our products in ways that reduce emissions upstream and downstream of our operations—from our suppliers and customers, respectively.

Our new designs also strive to lower electricity or other resource consumption over the product’s life. In turn, our products and services help our customers’ businesses run more sustainably.
