Our Commitment
Why It Matters
Our world is changing, and a number of emerging trends—from climate change and the depletion of natural resources to racial, gender and economic inequity—reinforce the need for sustainability and accountability. HARMAN’s sustainability vision is simple and clear: to be a best-in-class employer and provider of technology solutions that are beneficial to the long-term well-being of the people and communities we serve.
Through our “One HARMAN” approach, we thrive sustainably by growing our business in a responsible way while having a positive societal impact and creating a more just and equitable world. At HARMAN, we are aware that we are all linked globally. For that reason, we have established sustainability goals around three key areas: the environment, our people and the communities in which we live and work.
How We Build a Sustainable Future
- Follow all applicable environmental laws and Company policies.
- Comply with annual legal compliance evaluations and audits at our global manufacturing sites.
- Report any spills, leaks or accidental discharges or emissions.
- Follow procedures for waste management and recycling.
- Take practical steps each day to reduce our consumption of water, fuel and electricity. These might include turning off lights, setting thermostats and not idling engines.
- Follow our environmental sustainability goals, including our Scope 1, 2, and 3 admissions reductions ambitions, by 2023, 2040, and beyond.
- Reimagine our product and packaging design standards to include significant use of recycled plastics, papers, inks and other sustainable materials.
Making Connections: HARMAN’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Committee
The ESG Committee comprises senior leadership and oversees Harman’s sustainability vision, mission, strategy, capital allocation and progress. We also have regular meetings with cross-functional teams to align, implement and integrate sustainability practices into our business strategy, including reporting, decarbonization and other initiatives.
