Environmentally Responsible Sourcing

As a trusted provider of equipment and components to our customers, it is critical that we maintain a supply chain that ensures our ability to produce and ship quality products 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 carbon footprint, 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.

EMBEDDING ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN THE SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT

We drive supply chain responsibility, including for issues related to environmental protection, by requiring that all our suppliers, prior to onboarding, agree to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct (the “Supplier Code”). The Supplier Code establishes our expectations regarding environmental issues, workplace standards, and business practices for our suppliers.

STRENGTHENING OUR SUPPLIER SCREENING ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

We provide annual training for our employees who directly engage with our supply chain. Training topics include the Dover Code of Conduct and Conflicts of Interest. Additionally, we utilize a supplier evaluation scorecard which evaluates supplier environmental management certification (e.g., ISO 14001), environmental health and safety, quality (including continuous improvement and Six Sigma) and other practices.

We are in the process of engaging with suppliers more directly on environmental issues and have plans to increase environmental standards such as by requiring suppliers to complete a sustainability assessment.

Each year we report on our climate and water-related environmental engagement with our suppliers and customers in our Climate Change and Water CDP responses.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY EXPECTATIONS FOR OUR SUPPLIERS

We are committed to creating economic value for our shareholders and customers through sustainable practices that protect the long-term well-being of the environment, employees, and the communities in which we operate. Our suppliers are required to comply with all applicable environmental laws, regulations, and standards and minimize any adverse impact on the environment. Our suppliers must also endeavor to conserve natural resources, including water and energy, and reduce or eliminate waste and the use of hazardous substances. Dover expects suppliers to support its environmental reporting by promptly responding to Dover’s information requests regarding sustainability commitments and progress.
