Environmental Responsibility

ITW is committed to operating our business in a way that respects and protects the natural environment. We employ a fact-based, continuous improvement approach consistent with our “Do What We Say” philosophy.

Our GHG Emissions Strategy

Our company-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction strategy and target demonstrate our commitment to addressing climate change. ITW has a track record of setting and achieving meaningful Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions reduction goals, and we are thoughtfully evaluating our Scope 3 emissions to understand possible reduction pathways over time.

ITW’s GHG Emissions Reduction Target: Achieve a 50% absolute reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions by 2030, compared with a 2021 baseline

 

Operationalizing Our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG Emissions Reduction Target

Achieving an absolute reduction target requires ongoing investment in resources and technology that will reduce carbon emissions. Our strategy to achieve our 50% reduction goal for Scope 1 and Scope 2 aligns with known technologies for GHG emissions reduction and includes the following initiatives:

 

Environmental Initiatives Across ITW

Across ITW’s businesses, we continuously evaluate opportunities to invest in initiatives to improve our operational efficiency and reduce our environmental impact. Examples include:

  • Energy efficiency projects, such as LED lighting retrofits, HVAC improvements, heat recovery and building improvements
  • Manufacturing equipment upgrades and process optimization to improve performance and reduce energy usage
  • Recycling scrap materials through vendor partnerships and reuse of pallets and packaging materials
  • Manufacturing process changes to reduce scrap material and waste
  • Water recycling system installations, which include several stage filter films to treat water for reuse
