Corporate Sustainability

Our culture promotes inclusion and diversity and prioritizes employee health, safety and well-being, while supporting our communities and suppliers. We understand that our continued success requires an inclusive culture where employees are empowered to operate at their best, one that prioritizes our employees, and values transparency and accountability.

This includes our commitment to four key areas:

• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: We are dedicated to ensuring our employees feel a sense of belonging and respect every day and are committed to identifying and preventing discrimination in our business practices.   Learn More Here.

As we continue to innovate for sustainability across our businesses, we are focused on the following topics: 

• Innovation of Sustainable Products: We are committed to developing new and improved products that offer environmental and social benefits and support our customers in offering more sustainable consumer products. 
• Safe Mobility: We are focused on increasing the safety of transportation vehicles and creating a net benefit for the safety of road users and the wider community through our solutions and technologies.
• Product Quality: We are passionate about positive customer experiences and recognize that our ability to deliver high-quality solutions is integral to maintaining our reputation and viability as a company. 
• Circular Economy: We believe our role in a circular economy is to design our products for longevity of use and enable the recyclability of our customers’ products. 

While our solutions serve as critical building blocks for making safer, cleaner and more efficient products, we recognize that we must also reduce our own energy and water use and to the extent feasible, eliminate the use of toxic or non-recyclable materials in our products.  In line with this, we have made a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality in our operations and products by 2050 and report on our progress through our annual Sustainability Report and CDP.

We are committed to responsible environmental management practices at all our facilities worldwide and promoting a culture of working together for a more sustainable world. Environmental management systems at Sensata manufacturing facilities are aligned with and in most cases certified under ISO 14001. Find Certifications Here.

Our Environmental Management Programs are focused on: 

• Energy & Emissions: We recognize the role we must play to combat climate change by managing energy consumption and emissions resulting from both our operations and across our supply chain. 
• Environmental Compliance: We are committed to the efficient use of natural resources, prevention of pollution, protection of the environment and elimination of environmental hazards where possible. 
• Waste Management: We understand that minimizing waste is an important aspect of reducing our environmental impact. 
• Water Stewardship: We recognize the need for clean and accessible water and that growing water scarcity poses a challenge to our operations, our customers and the communities where we conduct business.

We have a sense of pride and integrity in everything we do, from how we govern ourselves to our responsible sourcing practices. Our reputation for doing business with integrity and operating with high standards of business ethics helps us grow our business and solve the need for a safer, cleaner and more efficient world.
