Carlisle is committed to the highest ethical standards and conducting business throughout all of our operations with integrity. It is through these efforts that we have earned the respect and trust of our stakeholders.
I am proud to report that in 2021 we reached significant milestones on our sustainability journey. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, significant challenges in our supply chain, a rapidly changing demand environment, and meaningful inflation, Carlisle’s businesses adapted to deliver strong financial and environmental social governance (ESG) results, all while focused on delivering The Carlisle Experience to our customers.
The resilience of Carlisle’s team over the past few years has been truly remarkable. This resilience is driven by Carlisle’s entrepreneurial, continuous improvement, and decentralized culture and is fundamental to the performance of our teams around the world. How our teams approach ESG efforts is no different, as demonstrated by how quickly sustainability became part of our culture, similar to the Carlisle Operating System (COS) launched in 2009, and Vision 2025, which was launched in 2018.
2021 was a pivotal year along our sustainability journey. For the first time, we performed energy audits at our facilities. These audits will serve as the basis for setting actionable and achievable energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals in 2022.
Over a few short years our sustainability efforts have resulted in Carlisle being recognized as an ESG leader within the building products space. Our primary areas of action include:
Developing Energy
Efficient Products
Building operation is responsible for nearly 30% of GHG emissions. With that in mind, we develop and deliver products to reduce GHGs and make buildings more energy efficient to help lower operating costs for our customers.
Lowering the GHG Emissions of Our Operations
From increasing the number of renewable energy sources for our facilities and optimizing the energy consumption of our manufacturing equipment, to certifying our facilities to ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 standards, we are always working to lower the environmental impact of our manufacturing operations.
Reducing Material Waste Going into Landfills
Through COS, we reduce material waste entering landfills, while recycling waste material back into the production stream. Our goal in this area is to repurpose and recycle 2 million tons of waste by 2030.
Carlisle’s employees are engaged and focused on assessing energy usage, developing innovative energy efficient products, and finding ways to make our operations greener, all with the goal of creating a better future for all of us.
Carlisle is embracing our century-long legacy of responsible stewardship. As an organization we are committed to being a responsible environmental stakeholder by delivering products that improve the energy efficiency of buildings, while reducing emissions from our manufacturing facilities and reducing the volume of construction materials in landfills.
Thank you for taking the time to read about our 2021 accomplishments and we look forward to updating you on our progress in
the future.
Sincerely,
D. Christian Koch
Chair, President, and Chief Executive Officer
