MANAMA, 13 days ago
Trimble, a construction technology leader, has highlighted a number of key achievements and initiatives in the
company’s latest sustainability report, including its role in getting 25 per cent of its suppliers to set Science-Based
Targets in 2022.

The significant accomplishment is consistent with its shared goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions across
the industry, particularly in the run-up to the highly anticipated COP 28 conference, which will focus on global
climate action, saud .

Trimble became one of the leading businesses taking immediate action against climate change last year when
the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a partnership of the CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the
World Resources Institute, and the Worldwide Fund for Nature, approved of its emissions reduction targets.

As a vital step in ensuring that environmental responsibility extends throughout the whole supply chain, Trimble
encouraged its top suppliers to submit climate data to the CDP in recognition of the critical role that suppliers play
in the sustainability ecosystem.

The construction technology leader also assigned procurement and sustainability goals to all of its suppliers,
demonstrating the company’s commitment to aligning its partners with the firm’s strategic goals.

As per the sustainability report, Trimble has additionally implemented a comprehensive employee travel policy in
response to the changing nature of work and travel.

This policy aims to further reduce the carbon footprint of the company by maintaining employee travel levels at or
below 50% of pre-Covid levels. In line with its strong commitment to promoting clean energy usage, Trimble has
started the construction of a 1.7MW solar energy array at its headquarters in Colorado.

This innovative project will meet all of the facility’s electricity needs starting in early 2024, marking a significant
turning point in Trimble’s journey toward renewable energy.

Paul Wallett, Regional Director of Trimble Solutions Middle East and India, said: "Sustainability is incorporated
into every stage of the construction process, from design to maintenance to demolition. Adopting eco-friendly
construction practices has become essential in these processes as we continue to face environmental
challenges."

"Sustainable building materials are therefore becoming more popular as a result of their capacity to lessen
negative effects on the environment, preserve natural resources, and increase the general longevity and
efficiency of buildings," he stated.

"Our goal is to advance this vision to drive positive changes in the industry with the combined support and
expertise of our suppliers and other stakeholders and thereby achieve our ambitious goals for a greener future,"
he added.-TradeArabia News Service
