Our unique engineering capabilities and pioneering spirit position Smiths strongly to support customers on their journeys to decarbonise and deliver next-generation efficient and sustainable infrastructure and processes.
Sustainability at Smiths report
We see a future where the widespread green electrification of everything - from industrial processes to transportation to buildings - will gain increasing traction. Power derived from renewable energy will support this transformation as electrical infrastructure is decarbonised across the globe.
Where this isn’t possible, we would expect low- and no-carbon fuels supported by carbon capture as well as specialist production and transportation infrastructure to take the place of traditional fossil fuels. We play in all these sectors: Smiths uses its strength in engineering and technology to contribute in ways that are sustainable, resilient and pragmatic.
