“I trained to be an engineer, but I’ve
always cared about the environment.
When you imagine the sheer number
of our products in use around the
world, even small improvements in
energy efficiency have a profound
impact on energy consumption and
the environment.”
edan dionne

Environmentally Conscious Products

“I remember that even as a little girl,
I’d decided that being hard of
hearing wasn’t going to hold me back.
What I tell young people today is
partly about me, partly about the
company where I work and mainly
that you can be anything you
want to be.”
