Our Commitment to Sustainability
Our shared purpose of Trusted Solutions, Improving Lives™ has always reflected our commitment to making positive impact on the world around us, from our customers and shareholders to our employees and the communities in which we live and work.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY PILLARS
To reinforce our commitment, we have established four sustainability pillars to guide our efforts. While sustainability has been embedded in IDEX’s culture since its inception, these pillars serve as strategic guideposts. These key elements of our sustainability approach are embedded in all that we do, and each sustainability pillar corresponds with goals, targets and metrics to guide our efforts and drive progress.
SUPPORTING A VALUES-BASED CULTURE
PRIORITIZING PEOPLE
DRIVING GROWTH THROUGH INNOVATION
PROTECTING THE PLANET
ALIGNING WITH SUSTAINABILITY FRAMEWORKS
Sustainability requires continuous improvement, and we are actively strengthening our sustainability program through enhanced data collection and reporting. We
continue to report in alignment with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) framework. This year, we are also reporting in reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and have utilized the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) to guide our climate disclosures.
We are also expressing our support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Innovation, collaboration, ethics, and responsible business practices have always been at the heart of what we do at IDEX, and we are continuing to work hard to contribute to the achievement of these goals.
The SDGs provide a universal framework to address global challenges, from poverty and inequality to climate change and environmental sustainability. We believe that the following SDGs are most closely aligned to our overall business strategy and are areas in which we can drive meaningful impact. To learn more about the ways that IDEX programs support the SDGs, please see the Sustainability Reporting section of this report.
