At SWM, we pride ourselves on a long and rich history. One of reasons we have been able to maintain a leadership position for so long is the forward-looking approach we take to our business. This perspective is reflected in our slogan, ‘engineered for tomorrow.’ But, this slogan is more than marketing. It summarizes a fundamental truth of who we are and how we work. We’re not interested in quick wins or short cuts. We are focused on quality performance for the long haul—for today and tomorrow.
Our focus on tomorrow is at the root of many of our strategic advantages. It drives long-term partnerships with customers, who depend on us for game-changing solutions. It fuels our desire to create value for our shareholders, who invest in our future. It feeds our thirst for innovation, because we insist on progress and solutions. And, it inspires us to be steadfast in our commitment to sustainable business practices in all aspects of organization.
Our sustainability program is based on three primary drivers: people, planet and performance. As an industry leader, we fully embrace the obligations we have to all of our stakeholders—our customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers and the communities where we operate. We have developed a holistic, enterprise-wide program aimed at benefiting each of these groups, limiting our impact on environmental resources and operating in a way that is both profitable and ethical.
While our sustainability progress is a journey, we are on the right path and picking up speed. Since we began our program several years ago, we have gained traction across our organization, with employees actively supporting and promoting sustainability initiatives in all areas. As we continue to invest in and focus on these important efforts, one thing is clear...we are engineered for a sustainable tomorrow.
