Motorola Solutions protects our people, communities and the planet
We recognize that we have a shared responsibility for minimizing climate impact and we set goals that will help to limit our contribution to global climate change
Our approach to climate strategy
Our carbon footprint is a reflection of our business processes & practices. We know that to reduce our impact, we have to take a serious look at where we can exercise influence to minimize carbon emissions across our value chain. We use science-based methodologies to pinpoint strategic opportunities & characterize those opportunities into three main areas.
Responsible operations
We have set the goal to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 95% by 2031 in alignment with the Science Based Targets Initiative methodology.
Sustainable supply chain
We work with our suppliers to ensure they are aligned with our long term climate strategy. We aim to make greener purchasing decisions when opportunities arise.
Product stewardship
We work to minimize the environmental impact of our products by enhancing energy efficiency, making conscientious material selections, and reducing packaging.
Climate risk
Climate risk
We are working to incorporate the potential risks of climate change into our climate strategy and disclose those risks to our stakeholders. In 2021, we compiled our inaugural report, to align with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).
Our TCFD report addresses four core pillars: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets, as well as information about our business in the face of the challenges of climate change.
