- Dedicated web site enhances
transparency in environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas
most material to the company and its stakeholders
Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) today announced the launch of
its initial Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report,
available as a dedicated web site at
www.nordson.com/responsible-and-sustainable.
The report enhances transparency in the environmental, social
and governance (ESG) areas determined to be most material to the
company and its stakeholders. These areas include: Community
Investment, Product Quality & Safety, Ethics & Compliance,
Environmental Footprint, Talent Management & Development,
Innovation, Customer Relations & Satisfaction, Management
Systems & Operational Excellence, Workplace Health &
Safety, and Supply Chain.
“On behalf of all Nordson employees, we are proud to publish our
inaugural corporate responsibility and sustainability report,” said
Michael F. Hilton, Nordson President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Since Nordson’s founding in 1954, we have held fast to our values
of Integrity, Respect for People, Customer Passion, Excellence and
Energy. Our report is a reflection of these values and our enduring
commitment to grow and produce wealth for our stakeholders.
Managing our economic, environmental, social and governance impacts
enhances our ability to continue creating and delivering positive
results over the long term.”
The report is the result of a detailed effort begun in late 2016
with the goal of increasing the robustness of the company’s
corporate responsibility practices and reporting. A thorough
materiality assessment guided by an independent third party
identified Nordson’s potential universe of ESG topics. Topics were
prioritized based upon evidence provided by internal and external
stakeholders, including Nordson’s executive leadership team,
investors, customers, industry associations, competitors and
suppliers. Stakeholder interviews were supplemented with best
practice research from sources related to the external stakeholder
groups. These steps created a robust data set, which was analyzed
through a rigorous scoring process. At the conclusion of the
process, Nordson executive leaders reviewed the results and
verified the approach, providing the impetus for the creation of
the report.
“This report is another step in an ongoing journey and aligns
with our longstanding commitment to be a responsible corporate
citizen,” added Hilton. “The priorities described in the report
have long been embedded within our overall strategy, which remains
focused on accelerating organic growth, further optimizing our
operations, enhancing our organizational capability, and sharing
our success.”
