It reflects our progress—and our purpose. At HARMAN, sustainability is not just about environmental impact. It's about building a business that's resilient, inclusive, and responsible. One that reflects the values of our people, meets the expectations of our customers and partners, and contributes meaningfully to the communities we serve.
Over the past few years, we've set ambitious goals and embedded sustainability deeper into our business. Now, we're taking the next step—raising our ambition and sharpening our accountability. We've adopted science-based targets for greenhouse gas reductions, aligned with global climate goals and validated through an independent third party review process. We are also committed to sourcing 100% renewable electricity across our global footprint by 2030, and we continue to develop and implement internal Life Cycle Assessment programs to innovate toward low-carbon materials and products.
But this isn't just about targets—it's about impact. We're reducing emissions across our operations through efficiency, electrification, and renewable energy. We're working with suppliers to improve product-level footprint data, source low-carbon materials, and redesign for circularity. And we're strengthening governance by linking incentives to progress, publishing annual updates, and aligning with independently verified science-based emission reduction targets.
Our strategy is built within our culture. We believe that belonging—ensuring every employee feels seen, heard, and valued—is essential to innovation and progress. We're committed to creating safe, inclusive workplaces where people thrive, and where diverse perspectives drive better outcomes. That same commitment extends to how we operate: with integrity, transparency, and a focus on long-term value.
We also recognize that meaningful change must be thoughtful and strategic. That's why we're prioritizing transparency—sharing not just where we're ahead, but where we have more work to do. And we're investing in innovation, because the most powerful lever we have is the value our solutions create for customers who are transforming their own operations.
Throughout this journey, our values continue to guide us. Integrity means doing what's right—even when it's not the easiest path. Innovation pushes us to think ahead and act boldly. Teamwork and respect keep us connected across borders and disciplines. Inclusion ensures that every voice contributes to our progress. And excellence drives us to deliver with purpose and precision.
Thank you to everyone advancing this agenda every day. Our commitment is clear: to make sustainability a driver of growth and resilience—grounded in science, guided by purpose, and shaped by the people who make HARMAN what it is.
Thank you for joining us on this journey.
