As trusted suppliers of industrial machinery for our customers, it is critical that we maintain a supply chain that ensures our ability to produce and ship quality products to customers and take measures to identify and manage risk of sourcing materials, including considering the environmental impacts. Many of the large customers that we supply have ambitious environmental goals, and through our science-based targets to reduce our own environmental impacts and focus on innovation for sustainability, we seek to deliver environmentally responsible products that meet their needs. While we have made significant progress, we know we can only fully achieve this by holding our suppliers accountable to the same standards.
Environmental Management in the Supply Chain
We drive supply chain responsibility, including for issues related to environmental protection, by requiring that all our suppliers comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which is an extension of the Dover Code of Business Conduct & Ethics. The Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Supplier Code”) establishes our expectations regarding environmental issues, workplace standards and business practices for our suppliers.
