nVent has been named to the inaugural ranking of America’s Greenest Companies 2024 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. nVent is one of 300 companies on the list and earned a score of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
“At nVent, we are building a more sustainable and electrified world. We are committed to ESG and continuous improvement,” said nVent Chair and CEO Beth Wozniak. “I’m proud of our employees and how we work together to find innovative ways to reduce our impact on the environment and think responsibly about our use of natural resources.”
Newsweek, in partnership with Plant-A and GIST Impact, identified the top 300 companies in the U.S. based on environmental sustainability. The rankings are supported by research and analysis of top organizations in the U.S. that have a market capitalization of a minimum US $5 billion and adhere to the European Union sustainability standard guidelines. The evaluation is based on greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, water generation, waste generation, and sustainability data disclosure and commitments.
Since first publicly setting Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals in 2020, nVent has taken significant strides in its sustainability program every year. The company focuses its ESG efforts in three pillars: People, Products, and Planet. Within the Planet pillar, nVent’s strategic actions aimed at driving responsible use of natural resources helped reduce normalized water consumption by 12% and normalized waste generation by 14% in 2022 compared to 2021.
nVent also invests in on-site renewables projects to drive sustainability at its sites around the globe and engage employees to identify and execute environmental improvement projects. These efforts helped drive a total reduction in CO2e emissions of 7% in 2022 compared to 2021.
At nVent, being a good steward of the environment is integral to how we operate. As we continue to make strides in our Planet goals, we are honored to be included on a list of companies leading sustainability in the U.S.
