Developing products and solutions that customers value, have leading energy efficiency, and are manufactured with sustainability in mind;Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, where associates consistently leverage their unique experiences and perspectives to drive success for key stakeholders – customers, fellow associates and shareholders; andMaintaining sound corporate governance policies and practices, which are a cornerstone of effective risk management.

The report also shares progress towards the Company’s commitment to achieving carbon emission neutrality in its operations across Scopes 1 and 2 by 2032, to achieving Net Zero across scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2050, and to pursuing the latter in alignment with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In 2023, the Company is on track for a 12% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, on a sales adjusted basis – exceeding its 10% goal. The Company taking the necessary steps to ensure alignment with SBTi is also proceeding as planned.

Regal Rexnord’s CEO, Louis Pinkham, commented on the strategic updates outlined in the report: “It is an exciting time at Regal Rexnord as we pursue our many initiatives to accelerate profitable growth.

Mr. Pinkham continued, “While we are early in our DEI journey, our many growth initiatives are gaining momentum, in no small part because an increasingly diverse and engaged team of associates, operating in an inclusive environment, is leveraging their many unique perspectives to drive success for our key stakeholders. Despite the many exciting changes underway at Regal Rexnord, what remains steadfast is our commitment to best-in-class governance policies and practices. These provide clear and consistent guideposts for keeping our actions aligned to our Regal Rexnord values – critical to our success as we execute many value creation objectives in the years ahead.”
