continue to be very productive and use energy differently . We don ’ t have to sacrifice our productivity levels .” Ingersoll Rand ’ s sustainability ethos stretches across its corporate structure , from its office headquarters to its manufacturing facilities . Five years ago , the company asked employees to form ‘ green teams ’ in order to develop pathways and strategies for reducing waste and energy use at local sites . According to Tew , the impact of employee-led sustainability initiatives has been ‘ significant ’.
“ Everybody wants to work for a company that they believe is on the same page as them , and is working toward the same goals ,” he explains . “ We ’ re changing how we design products , we ’ re changing how we work with customers and we ’ re changing how we attack these issues as employees together .”
For Tew and Ingersoll Rand , the future is now : “ The thing that ties all of our brands together is energy and energy efficiency ,” he says . “ Our customers continue to look to us to solve one of their big issues , which continues to be energy use and energy productivity .”
