Greetings everyone, There has never been a more exciting time to be part of the electrical industry. The transition to clean electricity and impacts of climate change are driving increased demand and investment in a resilient, reliable electrical grid. Starting with our team members, we advance S&C’s technologies, safety and quality culture, and sustainable practices to help customers solve some of our planet’s biggest challenges. At S&C, sustainability is anchored in our Values and Guiding Principles – specifically Responsible Stewardship – to help us advance our Purpose, “Empowering people to transform the grid,” while protecting the environment and delivering innovative solutions to our customers. Every team member plays a role in advancing sustainability; you’ll see from this issue of Volts and Jolts , we are making meaningful progress. In 2023, we formalized our decarbonization goals with a commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 and interim reduction targets by 2030. In fact, for the second year in a row, S&C received the Sustainable Supply Chain Alliance case study award for our new decarbonization strategy and corporate targets. Sustainability is also key in safely delivering quality products and a significant consideration in our facilities’ construction. For example, our A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
new Palatine facility is set to achieve LEED certification; sustainability is also integrated into our Canadian expansion plans. Our efforts extend to our communities, as well; the S&C Fund donated over $1 million to over 50 organizations in 2023, and our Annual Giving Campaign continues to drive team member engagement, essential to retaining talent. If you’d like to learn more about our many efforts, visit our sustainability report on sandc.com. As we continue to live our Values and Guiding principles, sustainability will be essential to our success. Thanks to our team members for their commitment to safety, quality, our customers, and our planet. Working together, we are helping build a clean-energy world for generations to come! n
Anders Sjoelin President & CEO
