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 WEAR 1

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 aiming to halve our plastic footprint by 20302. 

More details
Reducing carbon

We’re aiming to halve the average net carbon intensity per litre of our products by 20303. Due to the nature of our products, and the reduction opportunities available, the use of carbon credits will deliver the majority of this.

More details
Improving people's lives

We're building positive outcomes for people around the world. Our activities range from being a responsible employer and working with suppliers that share our values to aiming to support more sustainable livelihoods.
