Sustainability and Environmental Responsibilities

Operating Sustainably and in an Environmentally Sound Manner

OUR WAY

We will leave the earth better than we found it. We engineer a commitment to a sustainable world into our products, services and daily operations.

WHY WE PUT VALUES FIRST

Our mission is to create the world’s smartest energy storage solutions that benefit people, business and the planet. We focus on the future, as well as the positive impact we can have today. In an interconnected, interdependent world, minimizing the environmental impact of our operations is as important as creating the smartest energy solutions in the world. This makes us a better partner to our communities and our customers.

WHAT OUR WAY LOOKS LIKE

We demonstrate our commitment to sustainable solutions and operations by:

• Making sustainability a core consideration in product design
• Identifying opportunities to reduce our environmental footprint while also achieving operational efficiencies
• Actively seeking engagement with stakeholders on environmental issues
• Meeting or exceeding all legal, regulatory or permit requirements
• Applying our Clarios Manufacturing System (CMS) global standards and best practices to our operations around the world
• Finding opportunities to conserve energy, water and other natural resources
• Safely and compliantly managing waste and wastewater
• Reporting to management and expediently addressing any accidents, including spills, leaks or unauthorized discharges
• Taking daily personal actions to reduce, reuse and recycle resources

• Nearly 11 million more batteries were sold than the previous year.
• Yet, our environmental indicators remained largely flat on an intensity basis versus 2020.
