WASHINGTON, Aug. 16,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR)
("Danaher" or the "Company"), the global science and technology
innovator, today published its 2023 Sustainability Report which
conveys the depth and scope of Danaher's sustainability program and
highlights important milestones the Company achieved during the
past year.
"We are proud of the progress we are making across our
sustainability initiatives. At the heart of everything we do at
Danaher is our commitment to continuous improvement, and our
sustainability program exemplifies this commitment," said
Rainer Blair, President and Chief
Executive Officer.
This year's report details several key accomplishments across
Danaher's sustainability strategic pillars:
Innovating Products That Improve Lives and Our Planet
- Danaher updated its Danaher Business System (DBS) product
development tools to prompt consideration of our customers'
sustainability needs at key junctures in the product design,
development and launch processes.
Building the Best Team
- In 2022, Danaher increased female representation in its global
workforce to 38% and U.S. People of Color representation to 41%.
Over 70% of Danaher's 2022 U.S. new hires were diverse (women
and/or People of Color).
- Danaher maintained pay equity across gender and racial/ethnic
groups in the U.S. in 2022 and expanded the scope of this analysis
to determine that the Company also achieved base pay equity for
women globally.
Protecting Our Environment
- Danaher has developed a suite of domain-specific DBS tools and
processes to drive efficient progress toward its goal of reducing
Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50.4% by 2032 compared to
2021.
- Danaher is leveraging DBS to deploy a global program to
identify, assess and manage climate risks and opportunities based
on recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD).
Foundational Elements: Supply Chain Sustainability
- By the end of 2022, Danaher assessed and rated the
sustainability practices of suppliers representing over 50% of the
Company's annual supplier spend, with a goal to increase that
coverage to 80% by the end of 2023.
Mr. Blair concluded, "Every day across Danaher, we work to
positively impact the world around us in meaningful ways. We know
that when we bring together the passion and dedication of our
teams, the scope and scale of our innovations, and our deeply
ingrained commitment to continuous improvement, Danaher's potential
for long-term positive impact is limitless."
