— Faro® Technologies, Inc. has unveiled two new global sustainability initiatives designed to strengthen its Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) strategy.
The first goal commits the company to a 25% reduction in carbon emissions by 2025, achieved through measures such as reducing facility energy consumption, limiting commercial travel, optimizing product transport routes, and encouraging lower-commute practices for employees. Faro also plans to expand recycling efforts for e-waste, metals, plastics, rubber, and carbon fiber.
The second initiative focuses on advancing STEM education for underrepresented groups. Faro will establish partnerships with middle and high schools, prioritizing opportunities for minorities and young women from disadvantaged communities. Initial funding of $50,000 will be distributed in the U.S., Canada, Germany, Portugal, the U.K., Singapore, and India during the first year.
“Faro is deeply committed to good corporate citizenship and global sustainability,” said Michael Burger, President & CEO. “Whether reducing our carbon footprint, supporting diversity in education, or ensuring strong governance, corporate responsibility is a business imperative embedded across the organization.”
Faro’s broader ESG framework includes established programs in environmental efficiency, corporate giving, employee volunteerism, and diversity-focused career development. On the governance side, the company enforces rigorous ethical standards for employees and suppliers, while maintaining robust cybersecurity protections for sensitive data.
By embedding sustainability and social responsibility into its operations, Faro aims to reinforce its role as a trusted industry leader while contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive future.
