Textron understands its responsibility to participate in working toward a sustainable future for the environment. Our responsibility to the environment starts with our compliance with regulatory requirements and is supported by our Textron Global EHS Policies and Standards which we follow in all countries where we operate. Beyond compliance, we are focused on reducing the energy and natural resource intensity of our operations and contributing positively to the communities in which we operate. Along these lines, all Textron business units set annual targets for energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions reduction and waste minimization. These targets vary by business and generally represent between a 1 and 2.5% annual improvement. Our ultimate long-range vision is zero adverse environmental impact.

Textron’s 2018 Sustainability Projects: Reducing our Environmental Footprint

In 2018, Textron operations around the globe completed more than 150 sustainability projects aimed at energy, waste or water use reduction. In addition to saving Textron $2.6 million, these projects helped Textron improve by increasing energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, water use and waste generation. Project savings on energy were 58,000 mmBTUs, which resulted in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 7,700 metric tons. Our waste minimization efforts helped to reduce our landfill disposal by 800,000 pounds. Water projects resulted in 40 million gallons of water savings.




2018 PERFORMANCE

The charts below show our 2018 performance and progress over the past five years on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions reduction, as well as our 2018 waste profile and water consumption. Intensity values are normalized to revenue. Historical data has been adjusted to remove the impact of our Tools & Test businesses which we sold in July 2018.
