MILWAUKEE, Sept. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE: RRX) today published its annual Sustainability Report, including progress towards its 2032 sustainability goals. The report provides an update on how sustainability, social considerations, and good governance are intertwined with the Company's growth strategy:

• Developing innovative products and sustainable solutions that customers value, while intentionally factoring environmental considerations into how they are designed and manufactured;
• Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, where associates leverage their unique perspectives to foster innovation and drive success for customers, fellow associates, and shareholders; and
• Maintaining sound corporate governance policies and practices that are considered a cornerstone of effective risk management.

In 2023, the Company achieved two notable strategic milestones: (1) the acquisition of Altra Industrial Motion Corp., which extended its leadership in industrial power transmission and established it as a meaningful player in industrial automation; and (2) announcing the sale of its Industrial Systems business, which closed earlier in 2024, and has allowed Regal Rexnord to focus on its most valuable growth opportunities. These transactions marked the completion of a series of highly intentional actions to create a more durable and faster-growing portfolio. Consistent with an evolved portfolio, earlier this year the Company updated its business purpose:

We Create a Better Tomorrow with Sustainable Solutions that Power, Transmit & Control Motion

Helping its customers, its communities, and the planet by providing sustainable solutions remains core to how and why Regal Rexnord operates.

The report also shares progress towards the Company's goal of achieving carbon emission neutrality across Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2032. In 2023, the Company achieved a 15.5% year-over-year reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and decreased its GHG emission intensity by 10.2%. Further, for the first time, this year's report also includes data on the Company's Scope 3 GHG emissions, by providing its Scope 3 emissions inventory for 2022.

Regal Rexnord's CEO, Louis Pinkham, commented on strategic updates in the report: "Environmental, social and governance considerations remained critical to successfully executing various aspects of our growth strategy in 2023. Approximately 60% of our products now make our end users' applications more environmentally friendly. We made great progress towards our own scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction goals. And underpinning our success – great, highly-engaged talent. In 2023, more than 80 percent of our associates participated in our bi-annual associate engagement survey, and I am proud to report that, on average, our most recent survey results outperformed the manufacturing norm by 5 points."  

Mr. Pinkham continued, "Looking ahead, our strategic focus will continue to be on advancing innovation and sustainability initiatives that align with our Regal Rexnord Values, support our emission reduction targets, and help our customers meet their sustainability goals. I believe a key to our continued success is acknowledging that our customers' environmental and economic objectives tend to be intertwined, and this consideration also remains fundamental to our own growth strategy."
