Water Conservation and Security
We leverage lean manufacturing practices, facility upgrades, shared best practices, and conservation efforts to reduce and secure our water consumption. To reduce our water consumption, we use the following measures at our sites: • Closed loop cooling systems, including cooling towers, a dry cooler system, and an evaporative fluid cooler • Cleaning and inspection enhancements • Recirculation and recycling in operations processes • Low-flow devices on faucets and bathroom fixtures
Enhancing Green Spaces for Our Communities and Facilities S&C dedicates time and resources to creating and enhancing green spaces near our facilities. Our team members, as well as community residents, continue to enjoy the Arlys Conrad Memorial Park and Native Pollinator Garden at our Chicago campus. In 2024, we presented the environmental benefits of this space at Chicago’s Wilderness Alliance Annual Congress. Continuing the tradition S&C established in 2022, we donated more than 4,100 trees to be planted by “Trees in Celebration” in 2024. This number represents each S&C team member around the globe.
