We were focused on sustainability long before it became
the norm. Constant improvement is not an option … it’s
our imperative. From reducing our water and energy use,
cutting our emissions and waste, and crafting highly
efficient products, our perspective is holistic. We are
helping to develop new standards that look at an appliance
across its entire life cycle — from manufacturing to
home use to end of life. We also have set vigorous goals
for today and the future. We are on track to significantly
exceed our 2012 greenhouse gas reduction goal, and we
are targeting zero manufacturing landfill waste by 2022.
Driving value beyond the expected, we will continue to
push to do more with less while leading responsibly.
