At Otis, we understand that sustainability-related programs and practices benefit our business, customers and communities, and make us more resilient when faced with environmental challenges impacting our business or industry.
By continuously innovating to reduce the environmental impact of our products, services and operations, we not only improve our own efficiency, profitability and competitive advantage, but also deliver superior value to our customers.
Climate related-strategies
To build resiliency and strengthen the operational efficiency of our business and supply chain, we have implemented climate-related strategies focused on energy management and operational efficiency across our factories, real estate portfolio and fleet.
By ranking and scoring our suppliers on environmental matters, we can mitigate potential business disruptions and increased costs helping to ensure a more responsible and resilient supply chain. And our fleet strategy relies on assessing fleet effectiveness and operational efficiency, evaluating the right types of vehicles for our business and implementing enhanced route optimization.
Product Stewardship
We invest in R&D and digital initiatives to develop smart, connected designs and technologies and efficient features.
For example:
-
Our Compass Infinity dispatching system analyzes real-time passenger demand and proactively adapts to minimize wait times.
-
Our ReGen drive feeds electrical energy back into the building power grid during braking which can then be used to drive other equipment in the building.
-
Through modernization, we are leveraging digitalization and energy efficient technologies, helping customers to upgrade their elevator system.
We also publish Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) on the environmental impacts of our products throughout their lifecycle.
