Sustainability is a broad topic and means different things for different companies. I’ve had the opportunity to partner with the executive leadership team and other senior leaders, utilizing feedback from key stakeholders through various materiality assessments, to identify and define the topics most meaningful to IDEX and focus our strategy accordingly.

Since publishing our last report, we have made progress on key initiatives. We continue to assess and evolve our internal governance structures to drive accountability and alignment across all levels of the organization. Our teams continue to partner closely with customers to solve their toughest challenges, some that address resource efficiency and others that help our customers adapt to and excel in the dynamic world around them.

We are focused on the success, development, and well-being of our people and on the communities in which we operate. We are learning about and deploying various ways to improve the impact our operations have on the environment. As we move forward, our focus will remain on embedding sustainability across our operations and value chain.

In parallel, we continue to enhance our data collection efforts, improve cross-functional collaboration, and increase stakeholder engagement. We are implementing internal systems that will help ensure the accuracy, reliability, and audit-readiness of various metrics to meet stricter disclosure requirements. Our teams across sustainability, legal, finance, and operations are working together to build sustainability into the way we do business. We have amplified our engagement with industry groups to stay ahead of regulatory developments and contribute to the shaping of fair and effective policies.

We recognize that various regulatory frameworks can present opportunities to drive innovation, create value, and demonstrate leadership in addressing global challenges. With that in mind, we are intensifying our efforts, aligning our work with identified United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), reporting to impact-based frameworks, and striving to engage and educate more people around our dynamic workforce. Our approach to reporting remains guided by a commitment to transparency, integrity, and continuous improvement.

I’m proud to be part of a company that defines sustainability in a way that makes sense for our businesses, our employees, our communities, and our shareholders, and that seeks to continuously improve for future generations.
