Leviton's Network Solutions Business Unit
committed to be Carbon Neutral by the year 2025 and is now the
first of four Leviton Business Units to achieve Carbon
Neutrality.
BOTHELL, Wash., May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leviton's
Network Solutions Business Unit announced today that it has
achieved Carbon Neutrality. This achievement was completed with our
global sustainability consultancy Sphera, and is inclusive of Scope
1, Scope 2, and selected Scope 3 emissions. Leviton employed a
three-step process of measure, reduce, and offset to attain Carbon
Neutrality. In 2021, Sphera measured Leviton's global carbon
footprint and through analysis, we collectively identified areas of
potential improvement. Leviton Network Solutions then went on to
reduce its carbon emissions by 55% mainly through investment,
including the transition to clean energy providers who power some
of our largest manufacturing facilities to investing in on-site
solar power at our Glenrothes, Scotland facility. Lastly, and because it is
not possible to eliminate all carbon emissions
currently, Leviton Network Solutions invested in clean
energy-focused carbon offset projects offered through reputable
companies in regions where we operate. Doing so allows Leviton
to invest in energy projects that removed or prevented an
equivalent amount of carbon from polluting the atmosphere.
Like Leviton Manufacturing of Canada ULC which achieved carbon
neutrality in 2023, the Network Solutions business committed to be
carbon neutral by 2025 and achieved the goal well ahead of plan.
Leviton launched its CN2030 Sustainability Program in September of
2022 with the goal of achieving company-wide carbon neutrality by
the year 2030. The company has made considerable progress towards
that goal over the last two years and continues to be a vendor of
choice for sustainability.
"As a global company, we can contribute to the fight against
climate change and hopefully inspire others that this is possible.
As such, we are focused on achieving our CN2030 sustainability
program goals. Now that Network Solutions achieved carbon
neutrality two years earlier than planned, we are more excited than
ever to achieve carbon neutrality company-wide by 2030." said
Ross Goldman, Executive Vice
President and General Manager, Leviton Network Solutions and Chief
Sustainability Officer, Leviton.
The company's 2022 Sustainability Report is published and
available on the company's website. In it, Leviton details its
commitment to sustainability, its plan to achieve carbon neutrality
by 2030, and its ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2050. Leviton
announced that its 2023 sustainability report will be available
mid-year 2024.
"We are very proud of our progress towards achieving
company-wide carbon neutrality by 2030" said Daryoush Larizadeh, Leviton's President and CEO.
"The scientific reports I have read say that as a global community,
we are not reducing carbon emissions fast enough to achieve the
goals outlined in the Paris Accord. This is something we all need
to be concerned with and collectively need to act and expedite
reducing carbon emissions."
