Environment, Health & Safety
Making a difference in the workplace - and the world
Eaton places the highest priority on the health and safety of our people and on environmental and energy conservation programs that benefit the communities in which we live and work. This commitment to Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) excellence goes beyond compliance with existing regulations. We wish to become recognized as an industry leader in creating safe workplaces and conserving world resources.
We're focused on building sustainable operations and products by standardizing our global EHS programs and practices. We've set tough performance goals for ourselves, like reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 18 percent (adjusted for production) by 2012, and we're increasing the "transparency" of our efforts by sharing critical EHS data and collaborating with government agencies around the world to advance their programs and goals. We're making EHS an integral part of our culture — and one more way that we create value for our customers and shareholders.
