Environment
Among our biggest opportunities to deliver stakeholder value is running our businesses well and driving growth through delivery of top commercial programmes that enable sustainability performance for and through our customers.
We support customers and industries that are leading the way to a sustainable future by developing and implementing green technology solutions targeting climate risk, energy transition and next generation, efficient infrastructure. Our unique engineering capabilities and technologies position us strongly to support customers on this vital journey and we are targeting new product development opportunities in growth markets where our technology and capabilities offer differentiated value through improved sustainability performance.
Developing and commercialising sustainability-advantaged products and services will enable Smiths to have an even greater positive impact on global environmental priorities than we could achieve on our own.
We have a successful record of delivering reductions in our operational GHG emissions. We are now taking big steps forward.
In FY2022, we committed to ambitious Net Zero targets that align Smiths with the UN’s critical global climate objectives: Net Zero emissions from our operations (Scope 1 & 2) by 2040 and Net Zero emissions from our supply chain and products in use (Scope 3) by 2050.
Natural resources are finite, and we believe that all businesses have a responsibility to use them respectfully and safely – minimising consumption and preventing pollution.
Our longstanding commitments to use energy efficiently and minimise waste are increasingly of interest and value to our customers as they also seek to manage their own environmental footprints.
