Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Emerson

"At Emerson, sustainability guides our innovation and business strategy. We engineer advanced solutions that help customers optimize efficiency, reduce emissions, and accelerate their path to net zero—driving measurable impact across industries and geographies,” Mike Train, Chief Sustainability Officer.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

Through our corporate philanthropy and employee volunteerism, we strive to support local organizations and initiatives that make a difference in our communities and help people in need.

Emerson and the Emerson Charitable Trust provide funding and other support to organizations in the United States, with the goal of enriching human lives, providing services directly to those in need and increasing the impact of contributed funds. Each year, Emerson aims to direct about 1% of its consolidated pretax earnings (excluding nonrecurring items) to U.S. charitable contributions. Emerson reviews requests from all qualified organizations, but prioritizes those from nonprofit institutions and groups in the communities where the company has facilities. Through our matching gifts program, the company matches all U.S. employee contributions, up to a combined total of $10,000 annually, for eligible educational institutions, cultural organizations and, as of 2019, youth development organizations.
