Leviton Announces Goal to Reach Carbon Neutrality by 2030

Last month, Leviton announced their goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Leviton's commitment to sustainability goes back further than that, though. Leviton established a Global Sustainability Steering Committee (GSSC), comprised of executives from across the company. They also appointed their first Chief Sustainability Officer, Ross Goldman, who continues to serve as Executive Vice President and General Manager of Leviton's Network Solutions business unit. Ross and the GSSC are taking Leviton's already significant work in sustainability and accelerating it. 

To reach their goal of carbon neutrality across the entire business by 2030, they have launched their CN2030 program. The CN2030 program focuses on six critical areas: carbon, energy, waste, recycling, water, and innovative ways to empower and enable customers to bring sustainability practices to their businesses. In each area, Leviton is expanding efforts and creating new ways of reducing their impact on the environment. For example, they're installing high-efficiency motors to reduce carbon output, recycling manufacturing and office waste, treating wastewater from manufacturing on-site, and reducing (and eliminating) plastic in product packaging. Their European business already achieved carbon neutrality in 2011, and the CN2030 program will help the rest of Leviton's business reach this goal as well. 

Once they achieve carbon neutrality, the work doesn't stop there. Leviton has also announced its ambition to achieve NetZero Carbon by 2050, which would mean cutting emissions to as close to zero as possible. 

Sustainability efforts, like Leviton's, support the health of our planet and all who live here.
