Sustainability - PATH360

We have developed a holistic programme to help accelerate the move to a more sustainable future - PATH360.

The world is on an unsustainable path – change is needed.

Today, a quarter of the world’s energy is lost to friction, corrosion and wear1

We are extending our passion for efficiency from a continued focus on saving waste by fighting corrosion and wear and reducing fuel use by fighting friction, into new sectors with growing energy demands like data centres and batteries for EV’s, where we are helping dissipate heat to deliver efficient cooling.

 

We want to do more, using less.

We are embracing circular thinking in our business through:

  • Looking at the life-cycle of our products to see how they can be improved, extended, reused or recycled.
  • Focusing on using less energy at our plants and ensuring that more of it is from renewable sources.
  • Working with suppliers to reduce the carbon emissions associated with production of our raw materials.

PATH360 has 3 focus areas

Saving waste

We’re continuing to help our customers and the users of our products towards their sustainability goals related to energy, waste, water and carbon, as well as continuing to work to reduce our plastic footprint2,3 

Reducing carbon

We continue to work to reduce the carbon intensity of our products and to offer lower carbon and more circular products to our customers3,4 

Improving people's lives

Our aim is to support our employees and local communities through the energy transition.
