Reducing OurGHG EmissionsIn 2019, we made a commitmentto reduce our GHG emissionsby 20%, normalized to sales, acrossour entire global manufacturingfootprint and shared servicefacilities by 2028, measured by ourbaseline year of 2018. During the2020 fiscal year, while our overallemissions decreased from 2019,declining sales amid the COVID-19pandemic hampered furtherreductions in our GHG emissionsintensity factor (See Page 16).We are implementing strategiesand action plans to reduce ourGHG emissions worldwide. Anenergy management and GHGreduction playbook was distributedto all operations leaders acrossthe company in 2020, helpingensure best practices in emissionsreductions are implemented acrossour manufacturing sites globally.Additionally, we led virtual andin-person energy audits, whentravel restrictions allowed, toidentify site-level opportunities toreduce energy use and emissions.For example, we identifiedopportunities to reduce energyEnergyWasteWateruse and emissions at our CopelandAlliance facility in Natchitoches,Louisiana, by 4.6 million kWhand approximately 7% from afiscal 2020 baseline, respectively.At our Rosemount facility inPRO FE SS I O NA L TO O L S FACI LIT YRemscheid, GermanyReplaced fluorescent tubes with LED lightingR E D U CI N G E L EC T R I CIT Y CO N S UMPTI O NBY 12% I N FI SC A L Y E A R 2020.Chanhassen, Minnesota, weidentified opportunities to reduce1.1 million kWh in energy andapproximately 8% from a fiscal2020 baseline in emissions.Striving for Efficiencyacross Energy, Waste,Water and Raw MaterialsImplementing and enforcingenergy conservation and efficiencyEMER SO N CO RP O RATEHE ADQ UAR TER SSt. Louis, Missouri, United StatesCO PELAN DFACI LIT YAva, Missouri, United StatesREC YCLEDAPPROXI MATELY81% , O R ABO UT2 M I LLI O N P O UN DS ,of the solid waste generatedon campus in 2020.Replaced analog flowmeters with digital flowmeters to accuratelydispense water toprocess rinses,SAVI N G 5.6 M I LLI O NG ALLO N S O F WATERPER YE AR .CL I MAT E FACI L IT YRayong, ThailandCompleted several process and engineering improvementsincluding reducing air leakage from all compressors,implementing automatic shutdowns of key industrialequipment, and installing more energy efficient equipment,R E D U CI N G 450, 000 K W H O F ELEC TR I CIT YA N D 2. 2 M I L L I O N M 3 O F NAT U R AL G A S PER YE AR .Raw MaterialsME A S UREMENT SO LUTI O N S FACI LIT YBeijing, Chinatactics at our facilities in fiscal2020 contributed to reducingmore than 4.8 million kWhs.

Responsiblefor some of Emerson’s largestmanufacturing operations inthe United States, Paul has trulyintegrated energy priorities intohis business unit’s managementprocess. His team of “energychampions” gathers and analyzesdaily electricity usage data, whichhas led to significant reductionsin energy intensity across thebusiness unit. While energyreduction provides cost savings,Paul says it’s about being aresponsible corporate citizen andminimizing the environmentalimpact of Emerson’s operations.PLANET15
