Leviton’s Network Solutions Business Unit has achieved Carbon Neutrality, becoming the second Leviton business to achieve this significant milestone. This achievement is further testament to Leviton’s commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability. Through a three-step process of measure, reduce, and offset, Leviton Network Solutions has made significant strides in reducing its carbon footprint.
In 2021, Leviton Network Solutions partnered with Sphera, a global sustainability consultancy, to measure its carbon footprint. This comprehensive analysis identified areas for improvement, and the team set about reducing its emissions. Leviton Network Solutions reduced its carbon emissions by 55% through investments in clean energy providers and on-site solar power. The company transitioned some of its largest manufacturing facilities to clean energy providers and invested in on-site solar power at its Glenrothes facility.
Despite these efforts, it is not yet possible to eliminate all carbon emissions. To address this, Leviton Network Solutions invested in clean energy-focused carbon offset projects offered through reputable companies in regions where we operate. This investment allows Leviton to support projects that remove or prevent an equivalent amount of carbon from polluting the atmosphere.
Like Leviton Manufacturing of Canada ULC, which achieved carbon neutrality in 2023, the Network Solutions business committed to being carbon neutral by 2025 and achieved this goal well ahead of schedule. This achievement is a testament to the company’s commitment to sustainability and its dedication to reducing its environmental impact.
Leviton launched its CN2030 Sustainability Program in September 2022, with the goal of achieving company-wide carbon neutrality by the year 2030. The company has made considerable progress towards that goal over the last two years and continues to be a vendor of choice for sustainability.
“As a global company, we can contribute to the fight against climate change and hopefully inspire others that this is possible,” said Leviton’s Executive Vice President and General Manager, Network Solutions, and Chief Sustainability Officer. “As such, we are focused on achieving our CN2030 sustainability program goals. Now that Network Solutions has achieved carbon neutrality two years earlier than planned, we are more excited than ever to achieve carbon neutrality company-wide by 2030.”
Leviton’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond carbon neutrality. The company is also committed to reducing its water usage, waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions. Leviton is investing in research and development to create more sustainable products and solutions. The company is also working with its suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of its supply chain.
Leviton’s sustainability efforts have been recognized by several organizations. The company has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for North America for the past three years. Leviton has also been recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project for its leadership in climate change disclosure.
Leviton is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and to making a positive impact on the environment. The company’s sustainability efforts are a reflection of its values and its commitment to building a better future for all.
