STAMFORD, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–April 21, 2023– ITT Inc. (NYSE: ITT) today announced a commitment of nearly $25 million for green energy projects to commemorate Earth Day. The projects include solar panel investments and energy efficiency initiatives, as ITT continues its progress towards the greenhouse gas reduction target outlined in its latest Sustainability Report.
A major portion of the investment consists of installing roughly 20,000 solar energy panels at eight manufacturing facilities globally, which are expected to reduce ITT�s emissions by more than six thousand tons of Co2 per year once completed. ITT is targeting to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 10% by the end of 2026, compared to a 2021 baseline.
The installations, which have already started to generate green electricity at some sites, will be deployed across ITTs production facilities in Europe (5), North America (2) and Asia (2), and are expected to be completed over the next 18 months. ITT will continue to examine the feasibility of additional solar investments.
In addition to these solar energy projects, ITT is investing capital into water conservation and other energy efficiency initiatives. The energy efficiency projects include LED lighting installations, improved heating and cooling systems and water requalification. In 2022, ITTs total capital expenditures for capacity, productivity, product redesign and green projects exceeded $100 million, an 18% increase vs. 2021.
We understand the importance of delivering on our carbon emissions reduction promise, ITTs Chief Financial Officer Emmanuel Caprais said. Our teams have been hard at work to identify and implement solar projects at our production facilities that are helping us achieve our Co2 reduction target. These investments will provide enhanced energy supply security, and todays announcement is the next step in ITTs sustainability journey.
