Leviton’s Commitment to Global Sustainability: Securing Our Future
As a leading global manufacturer, Leviton is committed to reducing our environmental impact as well as empowering our customers to be more sustainable. We are proud to announce the release of our 2023 Sustainability report, which highlights the significant strides we are making in our own sustainability efforts, and in creating products and solutions to help our customers achieve the same goals.
“Since our start in 1906, Leviton has grown from a local operation into a global manufacturing company producing thousands of electrical and communications products. As such, we have a responsibility to minimize our own environmental impact and enable our customers to do the same. I am both excited and humbled to lead Leviton’s sustainability initiatives to even greater success through our CN2030 program.” ROSS GOLDMAN, Chief Operating Officer, Leviton Network Solutions and Chief Sustainability Officer, Leviton.
Achieving a company-wide carbon neutrality by 2030 requires a resolute determination that is at the forefront of Leviton’s powerful sustainability initiative, the CN2030 program.
