We take decisive, future-focused actions to develop transformative technologies that amplify experiences. Our culture of transparency is driven by our values and informed by science.

HARMAN's program is built around four guiding pillars:

Planet

Advancing climate action through SBTs, renewable energy, and circular design.

People

Investing in engagement, inclusion, training, and health & safety.

Purpose

Empowering communities through HARMAN Inspired, philanthropy, and partnerships.

Leadership

Strengthening governance, ethics, and accountability across our value chain.

These pillars connect our values with global priorities and measurable outcomes.

Sustainability Commitments

Our commitments represent the most material areas where HARMAN can create impact today while preparing for tomorrow. Some goals—like water and waste—use a 2019 baseline to reflect historical progress. Others—like GHG emissions—use a 2024 baseline that reflects expanded boundaries and improved data quality.

Planet

GHG
  • 50% Scope 1 & 2 reduction by 2032 (2024 baseline)
  • 30% Scope 3 reduction by 2032 (2024 baseline)
Renewable Energy
  • 100% renewable electricity by 2030 (RE100)
Waste
  • Zero industrial waste to landfill at Automotive sites (2019 baseline)
Material Innovation
  • Expand internal LCAs; increase recycled content in products

People

Culture & Belonging
  • Expand ERGs, inclusive leadership, and engagement initiatives
Health & Safety
  • Maintain Total Recordable Incident Rate( TRIR) <0.1; continue toward zero-injury culture

Purpose

Community Impact
  • Scale HARMAN Inspired programs globally, supporting music, education, and technology

Leadership

Governance
  • Integrate climate risk into ERM; comply with CSRD and other emerging ESG regulations
Value Chain
  • Align supplier engagement with SBTs, renewable energy, low-carbon materials, and recycled content

Note: GHG targets are based on a new 2024 baseline reflecting expanded boundaries and improved data. Waste and water targets continue to reference 2019 to capture historical progress.
