Brunswick Corporation
At Brunswick Corporation, we believe that sustainability is fundamental to our mission of delivering innovation and excellence in the marine industry. As a Company whose products are used on the water and connect people to the outdoors, Brunswick acknowledges the importance of minimizing our environmental impact for our long-term success and that of the recreational marine industry. Our approach to environmental sustainability has always been based on implementing opportunities to reduce our use of natural resources, increase circularity and minimize waste while delivering a favorable financial return.
I am pleased to present our annual Sustainability Report for 2024, highlighting our progress toward our goals and many accomplishments, including:
The addition of three new on-site solar arrays (now nine in total) and the operationalization of our first community solar partnership.
The reduction of energy and carbon emissions, partially driven by energy efficiencies and continued increases in the use of recycled aluminum.
The reduction of water consumption, both on an absolute and intensity basis, resulting from new and previously implemented water conservation initiatives.
An increase of five new facilities (now 27 in total) that have diverted 90% of their operational waste from landfills.
Maintenance of a strong environmental compliance program.
We enhanced our program management in 2024 by implementing a cloud-based data management system for better accuracy and traceability in sustainability reporting. This system covered all environmental data points in this report. We also advanced our use of life cycle analysis (LCA) in product development processes, providing alternative perspectives on reducing a product's cost using a sustainability lens. As a result of this effort, we will be integrating Design for Sustainability training into our internal Lean Six Sigma
training program. Additionally, during 2024, we focused on engaging more employees with quarterly sustainability town hall meetings and the Company's first-ever Sustainability Week.
In addition to our environmental initiatives, we remain committed to maintaining and strengthening our position as an employer of choice. This year, we made advancements in enhancing employee engagement, prioritizing employee safety and supporting our communities. Our comprehensive employee engagement programs continue to foster and support our motivated workforce, while our rigorous safety protocols and safety-first culture resulted in another year of outstanding safety performance compared to the U.S. averages for our industries. Furthermore, our philanthropy and service events, boater safety programs and involvement in marine-related career development programs have strengthened our relationships with the communities in which we operate.
During 2024, for the third consecutive year, Brunswick received over 100 major awards for our products, people, brands and corporate culture. These accolades reflect our dedication to product and technology leadership, responsible business practices and creating a rewarding environment for employees to perform at their best.
We believe our strategies and initiatives related to our people, products and the environment position Brunswick well for the future and for value creation among all our stakeholders. We remain steadfast in our commitment to leveraging these strategies into the future.
