Earlier this year, we embarked on a mission to better understand the impact we have as a company on our world. As we began this process, we examined how we interact with our stakeholders, from the communities we serve and the environment we all share, to the local economies we help improve, and the employees and investors who have a financial stake in our success, and finally to the customers we work with on a wide range of projects around the globe.
We were proud to learn that sustainability principles are at the heart of much of what we do at Flowserve everyday. We are committed to such fundamentals as supporting the communities where our employees and customers live and work with monetary contributions and volunteer efforts, as well as the focus of ensuring that we act with transparency and with the highest ethical and environmental standards across our business.
Flowserve products and services allow companies in the oil and gas, power generation, chemical, water and general industries to move fluids with efficiency and confidence. Our pumps, valves and seals - backed by our industry expertise - serve to keep critical processes working and vital fluids moving without the fear of loss or leaks. These products and services are meant to last, as well. You'll see evidence of this in stories in this sustainability section that illustrate the longevity of our products.
Our mission of ensuring the safe and efficient movement of fluids for the long-term success of our business and that of our customers is a main component of our commitment to sustainability.
In this, our first effort at cataloguing our sustainability efforts, we have started establishing a framework for reporting our progress. We seek to make our operations, and those of our customers, more sustainable in the marketplace. We will also continue serving our employees with respect and fairness and a strong continued focus on safety in the workplace. We will protect the environment through constant improvement of our own environmental performance and products and services that help our customers to be more environmentally responsible. And we will continue to be a vital force for good in the communities where we do business.
Welcome to our corporate sustainability site.
