Rockwell Automation is doubling down on sustainability, positioning technology and manufacturing as twin engines for a lower-impact, higher-performance industrial future.

 

The Milwaukee-based automation company has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, outlining how sustainability is being woven into every part of its business—from product design and innovation to sourcing, manufacturing, and customer delivery.

 

“As both a manufacturer and a trusted partner to industrial companies around the world, Rockwell is uniquely positioned to lead the transformation of operations through innovation and sustainability,” said Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO, Rockwell Automation. 

 

“Our technologies help customers reduce energy use, minimize waste, and lower emissions while improving productivity and quality. From smart machines and digital twins to advanced motion control and cybersecurity, our solutions are enabling manufacturers to meet their sustainability goals without compromising performance.”

 

The report frames sustainability as a core business strategy built around three pillars: Environment, Social, and Governance. On the environmental front, Rockwell is advancing energy and emissions management, designing products with sustainability in mind, and strengthening supply-chain responsibility. 

 

Social priorities focus on employee empowerment, safety, and workforce development, while governance emphasizes integrity, cybersecurity, product safety, and ethical leadership.

 

Rockwell said the strategy is designed to deliver measurable benefits across its ecosystem—helping customers meet their own sustainability targets, improving the safety and efficiency of its own operations, and investing in communities through education, workforce development, and environmental stewardship.

 

The company highlighted concrete actions already underway, including setting science-based emissions targets, investing in climate resilience to protect supply chains, and scaling digital and AI-driven solutions to boost efficiency and risk visibility.

 

“These efforts are not about checking boxes. They’re about building a more resilient business and creating long-term value,” said Emmanuel Guilhamon, Vice President, Sustainability, Rockwell Automation. “Sustainability is a growth strategy, and this report is our way of showing how that strategy comes to life.”
