CDP Rates Garrett with "B" Grade for Ongoing Climate Change Efforts

Garrett Motion earned a "B" ranking for the third consecutive year from the environmental non-profit organization CDP in its annual Climate Change score.

"Garrett is committed to reducing our impact on the environment through strong systems and processes that drive continuous improvements," said Charlotta Lyon, Garrett's Director of Sustainability Development. "These commitments start from our focus on developing emissions-reducing technologies, to making our environmental footprint smaller including carbon, energy, waste and water."

For the first time, Garrett was also rated in CDP's "Water Security" category, earning a "C" grade. CDP's ratings scale spans from "A" at the top of its scoring, down to "D-" with each letter grade representing various levels of climate change leadership, management, awareness, and disclosure.

CDP received nearly 19,000 company climate change, water security and forests disclosures in 2022.

A recent example of Garrett's improvement actions is its continued investment in renewable energy that is directly leveraged at production locations around the world. The company's expanding solar panels initiative has saved hundreds of thousands of tons in CO2 emissions annually across three manufacturing sites in Slovakia, Mexico and India, with additional installations expected to be launched throughout 2023 and 2024.

CDP's assessment comes on the heels of Garrett's Gold ranking status from EcoVadis at the end of 2022, placing it amongst the top 2% of all companies in the Industry sector for sustainability progress.
