Excelitas publishes 2024 sustainability report outlining new strategy

Excelitas has published its 2024 Sustainability Report, detailing the company's sustainability achievements, initiatives and performance from last year while identifying its greatest impact areas.

The advanced technology provider, which serves global market leaders in life sciences, advanced industrial, next-generation semiconductor and avionics sectors, underwent significant transformation in 2024 by integrating its various businesses and acquisitions under One Excelitas and updating its Purpose, Mission, Vision and Values.

'We have clarity about who we want to be as a responsible business and a plan for how we will get there,' said Ron Keating, president and CEO of Excelitas.

The company's new sustainability strategy focuses on six priority themes divided between growing its handprint and reducing its footprint. The handprint initiatives include enriching life through innovative products that improve human safety and quality of life, and building a high-performing team with diverse skills, talent and perspectives to enable innovation.

Footprint reduction efforts center on maintaining safe, efficient and clean operations that eliminate employee harm and minimize impact on natural resources. The company also aims to take meaningful action on climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Additional priorities include cultivating a responsible supply chain by prioritizing suppliers that demonstrate responsible business practices, and acting with integrity in daily decisions, stakeholder engagement and protection of stakeholder data.

'This new strategy gives me great confidence in our ability—together with our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders—to build a more sustainable future,' said Keating.

The sustainability strategy was developed to better serve customers, comply with applicable regulations and support the company's updated Purpose, Mission, Vision and Values framework established during the 2024 transformation.
