Being good stewards across our operations.
Our 2025 Commitment to Responsible Processes |
By 2025, Rheem® will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and achieve zero waste to landfill in its global manufacturing operations. |
Consume Less Energy
Making millions of pieces of heating, cooling and water heating equipment requires a lot of energy, but we’re always seeking ways to use less—from lighting improvements to more efficient forklifts—so we can build more responsibly.
Conserve Water
Throughout the production of our equipment, water is a critical component, but we’re constantly making improvements to use less, waste none and ensure nothing that shouldn’t be in streams and rivers ends up there.
Reduce Waste
From our factory floors to our corporate offices, we’re constantly scanning for waste—both in processes and production—so we can find ways to avoid it or use it for something else.
Transport Efficiently
Moving equipment from our factories to our distributors and retail partners is an inherently not-green yet necessary part of the process—but we’re working with the EPA’s SmartWay® program to identify ways to make distribution more sustainable.
When it comes to sustainability, we are inspired by others. Here are a few companies whose sustainability efforts we admire.
More than just a manufacturer of beautiful fixtures, Kohler® is committed to keeping the planet beautiful as well.
We all know that The Home Depot® is all about doing. But they’re also about doing better.
Providing millions of parts to millions of customers isn’t easy. Yet Grainger® manages to do it all sustainably.
“At Rheem, our goal is to build green and build responsibly. We are constantly looking at new technology to figure out ways to decrease our energy and water consumption at our facilities.”
We are focused on innovating with intent, engineering solutions with lifetime sustainability in mind—from material selection to smart features to responsible recycling.
