Climate Change
Combatting a warming climate requires urgent and collective action. We are committed to significantly reducing our impacts by bringing improved efficiency across our global operations, using cleaner, renewable energy and enabling groundbreaking technology innovation.
In 2020-2022, Applied engaged a third-party to conduct a Climate Risk Assessment to identify key physical and transition risks and opportunities in line with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendations.

Environmental Health and Safety (EHS)
We consider environmental impact in every significant decision we make across our operations. We are guided by the six principles of our Environmental Health and Safety Management System:
- Maximizing Energy Efficiency and Reducing Emissions
- Designing for Safety and the Environment
- Resource Efficiency
- Ensuring Safe Work Environments
- Reducing Waste
- Conserving Natural Resources
