Investing In Our Planet Every Day

Earth Day, celebrated each year on April 22 since 1970, provides an opportunity to look at Caterpillar’s commitment to building a better world. While Caterpillar has a long history of investing in our planet, the last year has provided growth in our company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts. 

Year in Review

Since May 2021, Caterpillar has made our dedication to creating a better world clear in several ways:

• Established seven aspirational sustainable development goals.
  
• Incorporated ESG performance into the 2022 incentive plan for executives.
  
• Committed to utilize the Task Force for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures framework to further enhance our sustainability reporting beginning in 2023.
  
• Created a new executive leadership position of Chief Sustainability & Strategy Officer, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer.
  
• Published our first Diversity and Inclusion Report.
