We enable companies to discover, create, make and sell products sustainably, while meeting their environmental, social and corporate governance commitments and creating value for all stakeholders.
Sustainability and environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) are a top priority for the investor community and for brands across industries. In Rockwell Automation's 2024 State of Smart Manufacturing Report, the number of organizations with some form of policy increased to 98%, and those with formal policies is 86%, up from 78% in 2023.
Reducing energy usage, repurposing / recycling and maximizing resources are must-haves as technology is being used to squeeze every ounce of efficiency from operations. Manufacturers are turning to smart manufacturing technology to achieve their sustainability and ESG goals, with a focus on improving quality, cutting costs and driving OEE.
Our services align with these key sustainability and ESG goals
- Climate action
- Clean water
- Clean, affordable energy
- Good health and wellbeing
- Decent work and economic growth
- Industry, innovation and infrastructure
- Responsible consumption and production
Supply chain sustainability is often a natural byproduct of digital transformation
A focused strategy that
encompasses digital technologies and capabilities across the value chain
enables companies to meet and exceed market expectations while also achieving
sustainability goals.
By leveraging a digital thread of information that spans the entire value chain to assess and improve the sustainability of product development and manufacturing processes, organizations are:
- Poised to weather increasingly volatile supply chains, natural resource costs and consumer demands
- Minimize the environmental impact and optimize the use of natural resources
Together we craft a strategy that combines the use of innovation practices and digital technologies to realize value for all stakeholders, paving the way to a thriving planet.

How We Help Drive Product Sustainability
Our services help clients build a comprehensive sustainability strategy across the value chain, implement it and impact the planet.
Product Sustainability Innovation
Discover, design, develop and manufacture better, more sustainable products that protect public health and the environment throughout their lifecycle while improving competitive advantage.
Connected Energy & Smart Facilities Management
Industrial IoT (IIoT) platforms and advanced analytics to enable real-time monitoring, analysis and control of energy, water, air, gas and steam usage to unlock double digit improvements.
Energy Efficiency/Demand Side Management
Make use of rebates and incentives provided by electricity and gas companies to switch to LED lighting, or to install more efficient air conditioning and/or motors.
Demand Response/Load Management
Take advantage of utility compensation programs focused on peak shaving and emergency reduction in load.
Energy Sourcing and Supply Optimization
Source energy via innovative, competitively priced supply contracts, customizing renewable mix, contract volume and length to meet operational profile and sustainability needs.
Distributed Energy/Renewables Integration
Utilize data, forecasts, and renewable energy control to decrease peak demand charges and create carbon-neutrality by enabling distributed energy production and battery storage.
Carbon Neutrality, Emissions Reduction
Reach a net-zero carbon footprint through enhanced productivity, replacing fuels with more eco-friendly alternatives, buying renewable energy, and making up for emissions with carbon credits.
Electric Vehicle Fleet Management
Fully embrace the electric vehicle (EV) revolution and leverage energy-optimization services to forecast and manage charging of the vehicles during off-peak hours, while meeting the daily transportation requirements to drive the lowest cost of operation, and additional monetization through grid services or market participation.
Material Waste Reduction
Ensure prototypes, samples, materials for process tests and manufactured products waste as little material as possible across each stage of product and process development, manufacturing and distribution.
Plant Cogeneration Integration
Leverage on-campus cogeneration systems to cut down on pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, drive energy savings and increase reliability.
