At Eaton, corporate responsibility is everyone’s responsibility. It isn’t an isolated initiative or a checklist of activities. It’s part of everything we do to achieve outstanding financial, social and environmental performance.

Some companies call this the triple bottom line. We simply like to think of it as “doing business right.” That commitment goes far beyond mere compliance. Our goal is to make a difference — for our customers, our employees, our shareholders and the communities in which we live and work.

In today’s global marketplace, few commitments could be more important. It drives us to design and manufacture innovative products that benefit both our customers and the environment. It enables us to attract outstanding people who wish to work for a company that lives its values. It helps us build a more profitable business, while building the respect and trust of key stakeholders all over the world.

In short, everyone wins. And that’s what we think corporate responsibility is all about.
