At Caterpillar, we are committed to respecting internationally recognized human rights throughout our global operations.

Our salient issues are determined based on consultation and requests from our stakeholders, our Code of Conduct and our human rights impact assessment. We focus on nine salient issues that put us at risk of having a negative impact on rights-holders through our activities or business relationships. We recognize that other human rights may become greater priorities over time, and we regularly review our priority areas.

Caterpillar is building capabilities to deliver an integrated value chain. To do so, we must engineer our value chains just like we engineer our products into a synchronized system that maximizes quality, value and speed to the customer.

1.) Our suppliers provide product materials and inputs.

2.) Caterpillar manufactures equipment and provides technology solutions.

3.) Cat dealers distribute our products and solutions to our customers.

4.) Customers use our products and solutions on job sites and in energy applications.

At Caterpillar, we focus on environmental responsibility.
