It is a mindset that is rooted in driving value for not only our shareholders, but every person our business serves. Our staff, our management, our suppliers, our customers, and our communities.
Sustainability is at the very core of what we do at TT Electronics. It’s embedded in our purpose:
“Solving technology challenges for a sustainable world.”
Why? Because it makes total sense… quite simply any business let alone a technology business, like TT, cannot sustain its current performance, or growth - if it doesn’t help to sustain the people –the environment, the infrastructure, and economy – on which it depends to drive value.
Our cleaner, smarter, healthier focus is a key differentiator of our customer-offer and drives our approach not only to R&D but to the way we design, engineer and manufacture our products. Our skilled technicians deal in incremental gains each day, where the smallest fractions make a huge difference.
Get to know TT and you quickly realise how critical sustainability is to the future of our business. TT’s technologies address key sustainability megatrends in our markets to bring environmental and social benefits to society. Whether its improving fuel efficiency through the development of lighter aircraft power supplies, manufacturing complex factory automation equipment to drive productivity gains or improving health and patient outcomes through our highly precise medical device technologies. Sustainability is at the very core of what we do.
Over and above this focus on cleaner, smarter and healthier products, we also have an ambitious agenda to reduce our environmental footprint and carbon emissions. Building a safer, more inclusive and engaged organisation while increasing efficiency, reducing emissions and eliminating waste across our own operations.
In 2021 we developed a roadmap to achieve Net Zero Scope 1&2 emissions by 2035. We also committed to reducing our single-use plastics and the amount of waste we send to landfill. And our customers have taken note! In fact, one thing that really stands out to me over the past year is the overwhelming interest that our customers have shown in understanding, and even collaborating on sustainability strategies. This really speaks to the spirit of partnership that is so deeply embedded in TT.
Looking back, I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made. Significant time and resources have been allocated to drive TT’s sustainability agenda and we are already seeing the reward.
This drive to improve can be seen in the significant investments being made throughout the organisation as we upgrade capital equipment, increasing efficiency at our facilities, and install renewable energy sources at several of our sites. I’m Across the organisation we are seeing a significant reduction in the amount of waste we generate with 5 of our facilities eliminating landfill completely from their manufacturing processes.
It has taken a concerted effort throughout the organisation to achieve these results with each of our sites putting in place environmental action plans before being tasked with making it happen. It says a lot about the ‘can-do’ attitude we have within our teams and facilities that we have been able to achieve so much in such a short space of time.
More results will follow as we continue at speed, mindful that we cannot allow perfect to be the enemy of good. However, sustainability at TT is so much more than how we hit figures. It is a key component to our business, an integral piece of our strategy. And we are committed to reaching the very forefront of sustainable technology development and determined to play our part in building a better tomorrow… Care to join us?
