Our sustainability strategy and targets
Eaton's four-part sustainability strategy
At Eaton, we deliver smarter, more efficient and sustainable power management solutions to drive global change. Companies and communities alike depend on Eaton to solve some of the planet’s toughest power management challenges. That’s a responsibility we take seriously - because we owe it to future generations to leave the world a safer and more sustainable place to live.
Our four-part sustainability strategy addresses environmental, social and governance issues. It also allows us to meet today’s changing power management needs, while making good on our mission to improve the quality of life and the environment.
We are committing to science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets consistent with the challenge presented to corporations by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change. Our targets have received the approval of the Science Based Targets Initiative.
Our sustainability targets
We have aligned our goals to the scientific limits that define a safe space for humanity and a just future for our people and nature. Limiting global temperatures to a level where humanity can flourish requires halving global carbon emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
We are committed to improving quality of life and the environment while continuing to grow and create meaningful opportunities for our employees, customers and society. While we’ve made strong progress toward our 2030 Sustainability Goals, we recognize the need to evolve our commitments in step with the latest scientific guidance. That’s why we are updating our carbon neutrality goal. Instead of only aiming for carbon neutrality by 2030, we are now committing to achieving net zero by 2050 - a target validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
We will help our customers achieve their sustainability goals and accelerate the development of solutions for near- and long-term impact.
We will focus on mitigating climate change and optimizing use of resources.
We will utilize the ingenuity of our employees in solving sustainability challenges, and we will work to improve the communities in which we live and work.
We will be more transparent in reporting our sustainability performance, disclosing our performance using rigorous and credible global standards. We will address key societal issues and will operate, as always, with integrity.
We’re making considerable progress in achieving our goals. Dive into our latest sustainability report to see our most recent progress and results.
