SWEP sustainability report 2019

A note from our President

Our commitment is a thousandfold At SWEP, we set ourselves the goal of leading the conversion to sustainable energy usage in heat transfer, and of constantly creating more from less energy, material and space. To reach this goal, we have to challenge the status quo, raise our sights and constantly dare to try new things. I am proud to say that, throughout 2019, this is exactly what we have done. Pushing the envelope to create a competitive edge and a more sustainable future is part of who we are as a company and as individuals. All 1,000 of us are at SWEP for a reason. We believe and know that we make a difference. It is inspiring and purposeful work. For us, challenging efficiency is about constantly asking questions of ourselves and our products. Where is energy being wasted? Where is heat going unrecovered? How much scrap is being produced? Do we treat each other with respect and fairness? And most importantly, how can we continue to improve? We deploy this mindset to everything that matters – products, production, processes and people. Our desire to create more from less fuels our innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, and that pushes us to keep challenging efficiency. And we should remember too, that challenging efficiency is smart business. By pushing towards sustainability in everything we do, we strengthen our organization as well as contributing to a better future. In 2017, we embarked on a journey towards becoming carbon neutral by 2030. I'm delighted by the progress we have made in this area, and we are now ready to widen our efforts and frame them in a global context. To that end, we have looked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. By identifying and acting on the goals most relevant to us, we have begun a new journey to address sustainability in a holistic way. Thank you all for a job well done. Now let's see what we can do better.

Pushing the envelope to create a competitive edge and a more sustainable future is part of who we are as a company and as individuals.
