2017 sustainability metrics

Health and safety

In 2017, we reduced the Total Recordable Case Rate (TRCR) by 8.7% (0.63)

and Days Away Case Rate (DACR) by 12% (0.22) compared to 2016.

Total Recordable Case Rate

Health and safety recordable cases are work-related injuries or illnesses as defined by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Days away cases are injuries or illnesses involving one or more days away from work as defined by OSHA.

Indexed to sales, our greenhouse gas (GHG) generation decreased by 3.4% in 2017 compared to 2016. On

an absolute basis, we decreased our GHG generation by 6,000 metric tons (from 974,000 to 968,000), or 0.7%

compared to the prior year. Since 2015, we have reduced the total amount of GHG generated by our operations

from 1,010,000 metric tons to 968,000, which equals a 4.2% reduction. Indexed to sales, we decreased our

GHG emissions by 1.4% over the period.

Greenhouse gas generation

Emission rates are generated using World Resources Institute-recommended CO2 conversion factors, which account for variations by region. These conversion factors are based on typical energy generation methods, such as those using fossil fuels or other energy sources. When we compare 2017 to 2016, sales from the manufacturing plants that make up Eaton's GHG profile increased by 2.8%.

Water consumption data reported represent a majority of Eaton’s water consumption at manufacturing plants worldwide. Of the sites reporting, 16% were in Asia Pacific; 30% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; 4% in South America; and 50% in North America. When we compare 2017 to 2016, sales from the manufacturing plants used to create Eaton’s water profile increased by 2.8%.

Indexed to sales, our water consumption decreased by 8.8% in 2017 compared to 2016. On an absolute basis,

we decreased our water consumption by 6.3% compared to the prior year. Eaton does not consume large

volumes of water, therefore the majority of the decrease relates to reduction efforts of a few targeted plants.

Since 2015, we have reduced water consumption from 5,164,000 to 4,773,000 cubic meters, which equals a 7.6%

reduction. Indexed to sales, we reduced water usage by 5.2% over the period.

Energy consumption data was compiled from a majority of Eaton’s manufacturing plants worldwide. Of the sites reporting, 17% were located in Asia Pacific; 29% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa; 3% in South America; and 51% in North America. When we compare 2017 to 2016, sales from the manufacturing plants that make up Eaton’s energy profile increased by 2.8%.

Indexed to sales, our energy use decreased by 2.5% in 2017 when compared to 2016. On an absolute basis, our

energy consumption increased by 5 million kilowatt-hours, or 0.2% compared to the prior year. Since 2015, we

have reduced the total energy used by our operations from 2,568 million to 2,424 million kilowatt-hours, which

equals a 5.6% reduction. Indexed to sales, we decreased usage by 3.3% over the period.

Waste to landfill

Indexed to sales, our waste to landfill, which includes waste incinerated without heat recovery, decreased by

6.8% in 2017 compared to 2016. On an absolute basis, we decreased our generation by 4.2% (from 26,200 metric

tons in 2016 to 25,000 in 2017), a total decrease of 1,098 metric tons. Since 2015, we have reduced the waste

sent to landfill by our operations from 33,400 to 25,100 metric tons, which equals a 24.9% reduction. Indexed to

sales, we reduced landfilled waste by 22.5% over the period.

Small and diverse businesses fuel the economy by creating jobs and delivering innovative solutions. We believe

that encouraging these organizations to compete for our business benefits us and our communities.

In 2017, we purchased more than $1.6 billion in goods and services from small and diverse suppliers, about 12

percent of our total supplier spending. Compared to 2016 our spend with minority-owned firms increased by over

20 percent; our spend with women-owned business grew just over 3 percent; and our spend with veteran-owned

businesses declined less than one percent. Overall, we increased our combined spending with minority, women

and veteran-owned diverse businesses by almost 10 percent over the previous year.
