Date: October 5, 2009
CLEVELAND … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation was the winner of the Crain’s Cleveland Business 2009 Emerald Award for sustainability in the Large For-Profit category. The publication called Eaton “a champion of sustainable business strategies” based on its “commitment to, and focus on, the triple bottom line: Profits, Planet and People.”
Joseph L. Wolfsberger, senior vice president − Environment, Health and Safety, accepted the award for Eaton at the first-ever awards event Sept. 22 in Westlake. Eaton’s winning submission included examples from many of its Cleveland-area facilities.
“Protecting and improving the environment are among Eaton’s highest priorities,” Wolfsberger said. “Not only are we reducing our own emissions, energy and water consumption, and waste production, but we are also helping our customers and suppliers reduce theirs.”
Crain’s Cleveland Business said Eaton “not only has implemented practices in its own facilities, but its products help customers improve sustainability efforts. Its mantra of ‘doing business right’ includes improving the environmental footprint (reducing emissions and energy and water consumption) and sustainable power management (allowing customers to use power more efficiently, effectively and safely).”
Crain’s cited a broad range of Eaton’s sustainability efforts:
