Sustainability Added as Fifth Element of Caterpillar's 'Our Values in Action'

2013 Sustainability Report headlined by chairman's message
Jul 15, 2014 1:00 PM ET

Sustainability is not something we discovered recently; it can be traced back to the Caterpillar Worldwide Code of Conduct first published in 1974. For 40 years, our Code has provided a common ground for our business life values. Since 2005, these have been Our Values in Action:

  • Integrity: The Power of Honesty
  • Excellence: The Power of Quality
  • Teamwork: The Power of Working Together
  • Commitment: The Power of Responsibility

We are proud that in early 2014 we honored our longstanding commitment and recognized sustainability as another value:

  • Sustainability: The Power of Endurance.

Sustainability has been included for years as a part of our value of Commitment, clearly stating our responsibility to produce sustainable solutions. Raising sustainability to a stand-alone value acknowledges both what we have done in the past and will do in the future.
