commit to Science-Based Targets, says
report
November 20, 2023
Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB), a construction technology leader, highlighted a number of
noteworthy achievements and initiatives in the company’s latest sustainability report, including
the company’s role in getting 25 per cent of its suppliers to set Science-Based Targets in 2022.
The significant accomplishment is consistent with their 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.
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. Trimble 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 per cent of pre-COVID levels. In line with its strong commitment to promoting
clean energy usage, Trimble has started the construction of a 1.7-megawatt 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.
