This is Caterpillar
Mission
Our missio n is to enable economic growth through infrastructure and energy development and to provide solutions that protect people and preserve the planet.
Strategy
Our strategy is to provide work environments, products, services, and solutions that make wise use of the world's natural resources and reduce harmful impacts on people and nature. This means we leverage assets including technology and innovation to:
Promote & protect individual safety Provide employment, education, & training Minimize use of energy, materials & water Maximize recycling (remanufacturing) Minimize harmful emissions, H2O discharges, waste, & use of hazardous substances Optimize use of renewable sources

50% better steering performance Up to 20% less fuel consumed per hour Less fluids used 25% more material moved per gallon of fuel
Water Consumption
2.44 billion gallons through June
Energy Efficiency
Measure TBD
Absolute GHG
1.45 million MT CO2 (June)
LEED
8 new projects under construction
Heat Treat
Technical guidance was needed to implement energy reduction in heat treat operation as well as: Cut the cost of energy Sustain heat treat operation Reduce the companys CO2 footprint
Paint Plant
Within the Springvale facility approx 99% of product is powder coated. It is imperative that the powder paint plants run efficiently to ensure associated running costs are minimized.
Engine Development
Engine development and validations were traditionally performed through multiple trial-and-error tests requiring tremendous material, energy, and labor resulting in significant waste, fumes, and emissions.
Project Focus on energy use and reduction Establish energy vs. production metrics Establish energy baseline Deploy meters

Results
Project 90% of plant natural gas consumption was for paint Upgraded paint booth recycles powder at a 95% rate Automatic spray guns increased efficiency Change pre curing to electric infra red Results
Virtual engine development incorporating computer simulations, advanced analysis tools and leading measurement technology to plan, predict and analyze the outcome of engine development processes.
Results
Fosters innovative development and validation processes as engineers are able to study many what if scenarios
Preserves natural resources Limits emissions Reduced time and cost of overall engine development
