A MESSAGE FROM CATERPILLAR INC CHAIRMAN JAMES W. OWENS
Over the past five years, in the face of strong global economic growth and unprecedented customer demand, Team Caterpillar remained steadfast in our commitment to sustainable development. Even as our top-line sales and revenues grew by approximately 25 percent over the past two years, our environmental footprint showed improvements. Our water consumption dropped while our percent of recycled material jumped to record highs (from 65 to 78 percent). Our total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remained nearly steady with an increase of just over one percent. As we met our initial environmental goals, we set aggressive aspirational goals for 2020. To that end, the Caterpillar Production System is helping us eliminate waste and deliver dramatic improvements in employee safety. We continue to invest in cleaner and more efficient products. And we increased our involvement in global policy advocacy.
We live in times when the severity and enormity of economic challenges could so easily divert us from taking a long-term view—from seeing the big picture.
Our business is all about helping our customers solve big problems. Working together, we make sustainable progress possible.
The Caterpillar Sustainable report provides an overview of our economic, environmental and social accomplishments, and highlights some of the progress of our customers, dealers, suppliers and employees as they strive to meet the challenges of sustainable development.
