Sustainability
At nVent, we focus our sustainability efforts across three focus areas: People, Products and Planet. The world is transforming with the trends of electrification, digitalization and sustainability. With the increase in data centers and demand on the grid, the need for more efficient, resilient electrical solutions is increasing. The build-out of electrical infrastructure from grid modernization, to renewable energy sources to battery energy storage is accelerating. At nVent, we believe electrification offers the opportunity to build a more sustainable world.
We are supporting customers in industries including data centers, industrial automation, power utilities, renewables and energy storage. Our solutions improve energy efficiency, provide end-user safety, reduce installation time, add resiliency and protect the mission-critical systems that power our world.
While we work to build a more sustainable and electrified world, it is important that we operate in a sustainable way. At nVent, being a good steward of the environment is integral to how we operate. Our innovation, adaptability and continuous improvement approach allows us to help protect natural resources and provide value to our customers and the communities where we live and work.
