RESPONSIBILITY REPORT | & CEO LETTER |
"As we make progress on our sustainability initiatives, we continue to innovate with products and technologies that help our customers achieve their sustainability
goals and lessen their environmental footprint."
DEAR COLLEAGUES, SHAREHOLDERS AND FRIENDS,
I am pleased to share our 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report.. At Textron, our core values of integrity, respect, trust and the pursuit of excellence drive who we are and how we conduct our business.. These values are our north star, aligning with the goals that we have set for ourselves with respect to reducing our environmental footprint and supporting the health, safety and well-being of our employees, while upholding the highest standards of ethics and business conduct throughout our global operations..
The comprehensive review presented in this report demonstrates the progress that we've made in our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) priorities.. We take seriously our role as a responsible corporate citizen and recognize that our work in each of these areas is inextricably linked to our business and ultimately creates long-term value for our shareholders..
Environmental sustainability continues to be a priority at Textron, both for the products that we develop and manufacture as well as in our operations.. Our businesses have been actively working to reach our Achieve 2025 initiative goals, completing more than 190 projects at our facilities around the world last year to reduce the energy and natural resources used in our operations.. We're seeing
tangible results as we surpass or remain on track to meet our goals in areas of greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water use and waste generation.. Our efforts have also resulted in measurable cost savings to our businesses..
As we make progress on our sustainability initiatives, we continue to innovate with products and technologies that help our customers achieve their sustainability goals and lessen their environmental footprint.. We are continuing to electrify many of our specialized vehicles products and are making meaningful strides in our development of sustainable aircraft products..
None of these achievements is possible without a highly skilled, engaged and motivated workforce.. We remain committed to developing our people at all levels with trainings, continuing education programs and tools that prepare them for opportunities to learn, grow and achieve throughout their careers with Textron.. In addition, maintaining the health, safety and well-being of our employees remains a key priority for us as a company..
In 2023, we introduced to our employees and other constituents our reimagined Business Conduct Guidelines (BCGs).. Our BCGs have provided guidance to Textron's
management, employees and Board of Directors for more than 40 years.. We've made periodic improvements to our BCGs over the years, but with this new version we have taken a fresh and modern approach, presenting them in a more concise, navigable and easy-to-understand format.. Our BCGs, which have been translated into the languages most frequently used by Textron's global workforce, continue to uphold Textron's values while serving as a guidepost for us to conduct business with the highest ethical standards..
I want to thank our 35,000 Textron employees for their commitment in pursuing our ESG priorities and extend my appreciation to our stakeholders-our shareholders, customers, communities, suppliers and industry partners-
for working with us in our efforts to | build | a more sustainable |
future.. I am confident that together | we | will, with respect and |
integrity, continue to pursue excellence and drive innovation that leads to more sustainable solutions for our world..

GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS
In 2023, Textron was successful in further reducing its GHG emissions on a year- over- year basis and has now reduced emissions by 29% on an intensity basis compared to our Achieve 2025 baseline, exceeding our 20% reduction goal.. This was achieved through a combination of energy efficiency and conservation projects, as well as renewable electricity purchases.. Forty-three percent of Textron's electricity use during 2023 was from renewable sources - this is largely a result of Textron Aviation's multi- year agreement with its utility to purchase renewable electricity from Soldier Creek Wind Energy Center, a local wind farm, for its Kansas facilities.. Textron also generates renewable electricity from onsite solar and
purchases Renewable Energy Certificates at select facilities.. Despite having met our 2025 year-end goal, we intend to continue to take actions to further reduce emissions over the duration of the measurement period..
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are determined by following the Greenhouse Gas Protocols developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the World Resource Institute.. Consistent with these protocols, Textron accounts for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in terms of CO2- equivalents.. Our greenhouse gas emissions and calculation methodology have been verified by an ANSI-accredited independent third party in accordance with ISO 14063-3..
Investing In On-Site Solar
The use of renewable electricity is a key component of Textron's carbon reduction program, which includes developing energy generation capabilities at our facilities. In 2023, Bell's facilities in both Singapore and Coffs Harbour, Australia began utilizing electricity from newly built rooftop solar systems. In 2023, over 50% of electricity use at both locations was generated by their onsite solar installations.
