Parker’s Sustainability Report Highlights Local Impact of Global Commitment to Responsible Operations
March 15 2018 - 9:00AM
Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and
control technologies, has released its 2017 Sustainability Report,
“A Viewpoint on Social Responsibility.” The report highlights team
member-driven initiatives which are helping to strengthen
communities, conserve resources and make a positive environmental
impact at the local level.
“The creativity and dedication of our team members enabled us to
achieve significant progress towards our social responsibility
objectives in fiscal year 2017,” said Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Tom Williams. “Moving forward, we will continue to pursue
new opportunities to help make the world a better place.”
Key achievements related to Parker’s social responsibility
initiatives detailed in the report include:
- Safety is Parker’s highest priority, and the company’s
Recordable Incident Rate has dropped by 54% since 2014. This
includes a 22% reduction in fiscal year 2017, when 231 facilities
were accident free.
- Parker views its ability to support local communities as a key
measure of the company’s success. This year team members raised
$130,000 to aid recovery in areas of Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico
and California impacted by flooding, hurricanes, wildfires and
other natural disasters, and also contributed $250,000 to the
United Way campaign in support of 27 local chapters across the
United States.
- The Parker Hannifin Foundation donated more than $6.5 million
to 250 charitable organizations. Half of the contributions support
local communities, with the balance targeted at improving education
through scholarships and institutional donations.
- Today Parker recycles more than 85% of the waste generated from
its manufacturing operations, and the company continues to make
progress towards its goal of reducing water use and volume of waste
sent to landfills by 20% between 2015 and 2020.
- Given the scope of Parker’s manufacturing operations,
increasing energy efficiency represents a significant opportunity
to reduce environmental impact. Parker has reduced absolute energy
consumption by 54% and greenhouse gas emissions by 52% since
calendar year 2004.
The report also features examples selected from hundreds of
submissions that demonstrate local initiatives driven by Parker
team members, aimed at making the company more efficient,
supporting local communities and protecting the environment.
