Ingersoll Rand employees take action to help communities and customers thrive
"There’s more to a company’s purpose than generating great financial results. Sustainability at Ingersoll Rand centers on business, social and environmental progress. Through bold initiatives, educational programs, employee volunteerism and corporate donations, our goal is to positively affect society and make communities better places to live and work." - Michael W. Lamach, Chairman and CEO
During the second quarter, we worked together to show that Ingersoll Rand is committed to environmental sustainability and reducing energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions (often collectively called carbon footprint).
This display of our winning culture took several forms, from volunteering on Earth Day to supporting the company decision to sign a Climate declaration. Our actions help our customers and our communities thrive – and prove that there's more to our company's purpose than generating great financial results.
Earth Day 2017: How We Showed #SustainabilityInAction
Armed with #SustainabilityInAction, we took to our facilities and local communities to participate in a variety of Earth Day activities. We planted flowers and trees, cleaned up highways and streets and much more. To cap off the week of events and to thank employees for their hard work, we made a substantial donation to the Arbor Day Foundation and GlobalGiving.
Ingersoll Rand Green Teams Lead the Way
Our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint goes far beyond the products we make and sell. Our Green Teams make major impacts on some of our communities’ biggest environmental, social and economic issues.
