Fortive Releases 2023 Annual Sustainability Report

Enhanced Reporting Highlights Achievements in Sustainability-Enabling Product and Service Solutions and Reduced GHG Emissions

Fortive Corporation ("Fortive") (NYSE: FTV) announced today it has published its annual Sustainability Report, detailing the company’s progress and continued commitment to achieving ambitious goals for a sustainable future.

“Sustainability is inextricably linked to our shared purpose—essential technologies for the people who accelerate progress. Our vision and commitment to Sustainability are both expansive and ambitious,” said James A. Lico, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fortive. “Our goal is clear: to deliver innovative solutions that empower our customers to make the world stronger, safer, and more sustainable.”

The report spotlights Fortive’s strategic framework for prioritizing the issues that drive progress for customers, partners, employees, and shareholders. Consistent with prior years, the 2023 report is grounded in Fortive’s impact assessment and has been prepared in alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the United Nations Global Compact.

Highlights from the 2023 report include:

  • Significant Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reductions: Achieved a 25.6% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, compared to 2019 baseline, tracking toward our 2029 goal to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 50% from 2019 levels.
  • Comprehensive GHG Emissions Tracking: The 2023 report expands GHG emissions accounting to include relevant Scope 3 emissions, to better understand the related impacts and opportunities and drive greater efficiency in the near and long term.
  • Delivered Sustainable Products and Services: Approximately 60% of Fortive’s revenue is generated from products and services that deliver Sustainability-related outcomes and are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
  • Maintained Responsible Sourcing and Supplier Diversity: Consistent with the Fortive Supplier Code, assessed more than 200 direct material suppliers, with 100% receiving a positive rating, and made progress toward 2025 aspirational goals in supplier diversity.
  • Continued Third Party Validation: Named for the fifth consecutive year on Newsweek’s Most Responsible Companies list and achieved 100% compliance with the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index for the seventh consecutive year.
