Badger Meter’s Emissions Fall by 18%
Badger Meter, Inc., a global provider of water solutions encompassing flow measurement, quality and other system parameters, announced an 18% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity year-over-year, with a 44% reduction in intensity from a 2020 baseline.
As detailed in its 2023 Sustainability Report, Badger Meter executed on a number of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects to reduce its overall energy cost. These actions resulted in a decline of 22% in its energy intensity in 2023 versus 2022 and 35% since 2019.
The company is early in the implementation phase of an approximately 700-megawatt solar array at its Milwaukee combined HQ, R&D and manufacturing facility, with groundbreaking planned for late summer 2024 and finalization in early 2025. The array will provide approximately 15% of the facility’s energy usage.
The company also completed its first CDP climate change survey and announced organic and acquisition-driven expansion of solutions aimed at reducing customer water and energy usage.
“It is not always the case that a company’s growth strategy is also good for the planet. At Badger Meter, sustainability creates our growth opportunities by enabling our customers to be more efficient, resilient and sustainable in their water operations. In 2023, we again demonstrated the link between delivering strong financial and sustainability performance with record sales and earnings alongside lower Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission and water intensity,” said Kenneth C. Bockhorst, Chairman, President and CEO, in a statement.
The Badger Meter sustainability report is aligned with common frameworks, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
