Operations & Suppliers

End-to-End
Thinking
Matters

Our Sustainability work goes beyond the core of our manufacturing operations, extending to a holistic end-to-end view of opportunities. We deliver strong results across the supply chain, ranging from manufacturing to finished product logistics, and we engage our suppliers throughout the process.

Manufacturing
Between the procurement of raw materials and the creation of a product, we strive to reduce waste, water, energy, and CO2 through systemic conservation efforts. We apply smart eco-design through innovative construction process improvements. And, we re-use where feasible, giving new life to what was once waste.

Finished Product Logistics
In the logistics stage, we reduce waste in customization by applying more sustainable designs. We optimize transportation efficiency through a comprehensive multi-mode approach, and now go further by leveraging common “intermodal” containers across different modes of transportation.

Supplier Engagement
We collaborate closely with suppliers across the entire supply chain. Our new Supplier Sustainability Board includes members from over 20 leading global suppliers and is charged with guiding the development of supplier-related Sustainability activities and goals.
