Trimble’s sustainability efforts gain momentum as 25 per cent of suppliers commit to Science-Based Targets, says report | has…
set Science-Based Targets in 2022. The significant accomplishment is consistent with their
shared goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions across the industry, par cularly in the

run-up to the highly an cipated COP 28 conference, which will focus on global climate

ac on.

Trimble became one of the leading businesses taking immediate ac on against climate

change last year when the Science-Based Targets ini a ve (SBTi), a partnership of the CDP,
the United Na ons Global Compact, the World Resources Ins tute, and the Worldwide

Fund for Nature, approved of its emissions reduc on 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 recogni on of the cri cal

role that suppliers play in the sustainability ecosystem. Trimble also assigned procurement

and sustainability goals to all of its suppliers, demonstra ng the company’s commitment to

aligning its partners with the firm’s strategic goals.

As per the sustainability report, Trimble has addi onally 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 promo ng clean energy usage, Trimble has started the construc on of a

1.7-megawa solar energy array at its headquarters in Colorado. This innova ve project

will meet all of the facility’s electricity needs star ng in early 2024, marking a significant

turning point in Trimble’s journey toward renewable energy.

Paul Walle , Regional Director of Trimble Solu ons Middle East and India
stated: “Sustainability is incorporated into every stage of the construc on process, from

design to maintenance to demoli on. Adop ng eco-friendly construc on prac ces has

become essen al in these processes as we con nue to face environmental challenges.
Sustainable building materials are therefore becoming more popular as a result of their

capacity to lessen nega ve effects on the environment, preserve natural resources, and

increase the general longevity and efficiency of buildings. Our goal is to advance this vision

to drive posi ve changes in the industry with the combined support and exper se of our
suppliers and other stakeholders and thereby achieve our ambi ous goals for a greener

future.”
