•Sustainable Customers - enable our customers to achieve their own sustainability goals, making a positive impact on the world;

•Sustainable Company - create innovative, sustainable products and solutions and foster a culture that empowers employees to operate safely, sustainably, and responsibly; and 

•Sustainable Communities - support the communities in which we live and work, having an impact that extends beyond our own organization.

We will meet our customers where they are on their sustainability journey. Whether they are just starting or leading the way, we help them translate insights into impacts across energy, water, and waste. Our technologies provide data transparency across value chains and enable our partners to scale innovative and often industry-first sustainable solutions. 

•Energy - contemporary industrial energy management software solutions that put energy data in context to production data, to reduce energy use across the value chain.

•Water - smart water solutions leverage modern software and analytics to improve operations visibility, system reliability, and worker productivity while supporting security needs and meeting regulatory obligations. 

•Waste - enabling the circular economy for managing automation assets. Focus on developing solutions to automate industry-specific processes.
