Empowering a more environmentally responsible planet is ingrained in our company Purpose: We drive innovation that makes the world healthier, safer, smarter and more sustainable.
Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer
"There is a real and tangible pathway to decarbonization and, ultimately, net zero, but we must embrace the technologies and solutions available today if we want to reach the scale required to achieve our ultimate ambitions."
We recognize?a net zero ambition for our own company is a critical step forward as we build a more sustainable business and contribute to a more sustainable world. To accelerate our efforts,?Emerson has established a target to reach net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 2045 compared to a 2021 baseline.
Emerson utilizes a framework that groups our environmental sustainability efforts into three broad pillars: Greening Of Emerson, Greening By Emerson and Greening With Emerson. This framework has resonated strongly with customers, employees, investors, governments and communities as we partner with stakeholders.

Emerson brings sustainable solutions to vital industries like power, life sciences, food and beverage, heating and cooling, energy, food service and more.
We are working towards?zero emission goals and instilling solutions that work towards decarbonization is the first step for "Greening By". The time to invest in renewable?energy solutions, such as?biodiesels and sustainable aviation fuels, is now.
Low-Carbon Power
Our portfolio of advanced technologies fosters more low-carbon energy solutions for a better tomorrow.
Renewable Fuels (Biofuels, RNG)
Renewable natural gas derived from waste, such as landfill gas and agricultural digesters, helps to support decarbonization and energy efficiency.
Hydrogen and Hydrogen-Based Fuels
Our ability to provide environmentally sustainable solutions for customers across the hydrogen value chain helps to meet the growing need to lower GHG emissions.
When we electrify fossil fuel-based systems, we help promote cleaner energy at their point of generation. Our automation solutions play an important role in these transitions to support the distribution of this energy.
End-Use Electrification (Heat Pumps)
Emerson's commercial and residential solutions provide optimal comfort for customers while maintaining efficient energy usage.
Energy Supply Optimization
Now is the time to invest in better energy solutions that can be regulated and monitored. View, control, and share real-time energy usage with our advanced technology.
Energy Storage and Grid Management
Our Sustainable Grid Solutions untangle the complexity of efficient grid management. Gain access to powerful analytics and real-time data across your network.
Two-thirds of the energy that is employed is lost through gaps in inefficient systems. Our energy systems are built to last for the future, help to protect our resources, and are better optimized to deliver the necessary results.
Advanced Controls and Analytics
Having the right data, in the right hands, at the right time is crucial to energy and resource efficiency. Digital transformation with The Industrial Internet of Things allows you to make decisions faster and more accurately.
Simulation and Remote Monitoring
Our digital twin solutions expertise helps you prepare for the future with dynamic simulation software. In physical environments, you can run testing and host trainings all while leaving the space unaffected.
Companies must find solutions that will support cleaner energy in the long term. Our advanced emissions management technology is built to function more efficiently. Paired with real-time monitoring of pressure relief valves and storage tanks, we can identify and minimize emissions.
Emissions Monitoring and Control
We take pride in our contributions to The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), sustainability-enhancing products, and other software to supply optimized energy management to customers.
Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage
To achieve net-zero emissions, carbon capture capacity must increase by more than a hundredfold by 2050. With continued investment in carbon capture, storage, and usage globally, we can succeed.
Natural and Low GHG Refrigerants
In commercial and residential spaces, we are helping transition more customers to refrigerants that lessen their impact on the environment.
