Our Sustainability Goals
Environmental Performance
Progress Toward Carbon Neutral
Carbon Neutral by 2030 (Scope 1 & 2)
- Increasing energy efficiency
- Greening our fleet
- Pursing virtual purchase power agreements
Value Chain Baseline (Scope 3)
- Following Greenhouse Gas Protocol
- Indirect emissions represent 99% of our total carbon footprint
- Scope 3 contributions:
- Use of sold products
- Purchased goods & services
- Upstream Transportation
Carbon Neutral by 2030 (Scope 1 & 2)
Normalized Emissions Trend
Scopes 1 & 2 emissions, as metric tons of CO2 equivalent per million USD of sales
Total normalized emissions continued to trend in a positive direction, demonstrating our record of providing added value with a similar emissions footprint.
Emissions Summary
Scope 1 - 24,443 metric tons
Scope 2 - 85,522 metric tons
NOT DONE - STILL NEED TO SPECIFIC DATA POINTS AND COLORS (NOT LISTED ON IMAGE)
109,965 total metric tons of CO2 equivalent
In 2023, our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions remained flat. Increased emissions with the addition of Sensia, a joint venture, and the recent acquisitions of CUBIC, and ASEM to Rockwell operations and reporting were offset by the purchase of green energy in our Katowice, Poland facility and increased energy efficiency across our portfolio.
Value Chain Baseline (Scope 3)

| Total | 15,331,000 |
1 Categories 10, 13, and 14 are not applicable to Rockwell and thus, not listed.
2 This baseline represents data from greater than two thirds of our core operations, in conformance with the SBTi Criteria and Recommendations for Near-Term Targets, Version 5.1. Thus, some data is not included, such as Sensia, CUBIC, and ASEM.
Waste
Waste Recycled
Our goal is to have 85% or more of our waste diverted from landfill through recycling, reuse, and energy reclaimation, and we achieved that goal in 2023. In FY24, we are increasing our goal to 90%.
Hazardous Waste
In 2023, hazardous waste accounted for 4.2% of our total waste generated, a reduction from 8.8% in 2022. We continued to report waste categorized as hazardous in accordance with local law, with streams including electronics (classified as hazardous in some countries), lead-containing materials, and expired/unusable materials.
4.2% of total generated waste
512 metric tons of hazardous waste generated
12% of hazardous waste recycled
10% landfilled, with remainder receiving treatment via incineration or physical/chemical treatment
0 Experienced zero reportable spills
Water Use
NOT DONE - NEED ACTUAL CHART DATA FOR BARS (not included in image)
Water usage is mostly for drinking and washrooms. We use limited water in manufacturing operations and for heating and cooling at our Milwaukee headquarters.
Rockwell, in collaboration with The Water Council, is transitioning from onsite water management to comprehensive site and watershed water stewardship, prioritizing socially equitable, environmentally sustainable, and economically beneficial water usage.
