Modine, a global leader in thermal management technology and solutions, has announced its commitment to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, the world’s largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative.
"Joining the UN Global Compact affirms our long-term focus on sustainability growth in alignment with universal principles endorsed and shared by leading organizations across the globe," said Modine President and Chief Executive Officer Neil D. Brinker. "Along with our purpose, mission, and values, the UN Global Compact and Sustainable Development Goals provide us with a trusted framework and an urgent call to action as we continue the valuable work of advancing on our sustainability journey."
The UN Global Compact encourages companies to align their culture, decision-making, and strategies with ten guiding principles in the areas of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption, and to take action in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Modine’s approach to sustainability is inspired by its purpose statement, "Engineering a Cleaner, Healthier World™," and rests on strong governance, ethics, and compliance overseen by the Board of Directors and leadership from the executive team. The company’s mission focuses on improving indoor air quality, reducing energy and water consumption, lowering harmful emissions, enabling cleaner running vehicles, and using more environmentally friendly refrigerants.
As part of this commitment, Modine has prioritized seven UN SDGs that address key opportunities for the organization, stakeholders, and the planet: Good Health and Well-Being, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. Modine is developing commitments and targets in these areas and will report yearly on progress in support of these goals.
