CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

Dear Stakeholders,
This year, like those that came before it, we were guided at every turn by a laser focus on our values and our efforts to leave the world in a better place than we found it.

By confronting the most complex and important issues facing the world in commercial, industrial and residential markets, we are driven to rise to that challenge while creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.
We take our role in the global business community ­ and our

responsibility to pursue the highest standards of corporate citizenship ­ extremely seriously. With a presence across every major global region, we understand our opportunity to transform not only our own business operations, but also those of our customers in the

2019 EMERSON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILIT Y REPORT

most critical industries around the world.
I'm proud of what we accomplished in 2019. United by our Emerson values, we combined our best-in-class technology and groundbreaking innovation to make a true difference in the communities and industries in which we operate. In this latest Corporate Social Responsibility report, we highlight how we did ­ and are continuing to do ­ just that.
Through bold leadership across our company and within our two business platforms, Automation Solutions and Commercial & Residential Solutions, we are delivering environmentally responsible solutions that improve efficiency, reduce emissions and conserve resources to help customers achieve their sustainability targets. We are stewarding the many industries we serve through difficult regulatory

changes and technical complexity, empowering them to operate more safely and sustainably. Our technologies are helping advance human health, comfort and safety, and they're enabling us to help protect food quality and reduce food waste in landfills. These tangible ways to impact our world inspire our global workforce to keep pushing for the next innovation and opportunity to make a difference.
To us, operating responsibly means acting with integrity and ethics in every business decision ­ from reducing the environmental impact of our business operations to ensuring our supply chain lives up to our highest standards. In 2019, as part of our ongoing work to further enhance shareholder value and ensure the strength of the organization, our Board of Directors began a comprehensive review of our operations,

capital allocation and portfolio. After completing this review, I'm extremely confident in our company's position to drive nearand long-term success, as we have been doing for 130 years.
In our business and manufacturing operations around the world, we are focusing more than ever on efficient use of energy and natural resources to help reduce the intensity of our company's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In 2019, we committed to reduce our GHG emissions by 20%, normalized to sales, across more than 200 of our global manufacturing and shared service facilities by the year 2028. This bold and pragmatic target was developed in partnership with environmental experts to demonstrate real progress toward reducing emissions while accounting for growth and changes across our dynamic global business. During the 2019 fiscal year, we

CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

made noticeable progress by reducing our GHG emissions intensity by 5.8% from our baseline value, and look forward to continuing this important effort in the years ahead.
Technology continues to drive new efficiencies in processes, procedures and resource allocation every day. But it is also creating disruption in the workforce that demands a response. The training and skills required for success in the manufacturing workplace in particular are changing rapidly.
Emerson is committed to helping our employees, customers and future generations of workers adapt to these changes. We support our employees and customers with reskilling and upskilling tools and training programs for the current workforce. Our partnerships with educational institutions and nonprofit organizations ­ through Emerson-funded scholarships,

grants and training opportunities ­ are helping prepare current and future workers with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in their careers. And through our "We Love STEM" campaign and "We Love STEM Days," we are raising awareness among younger generations about the job opportunities in STEM fields like manufacturing.
We're also partnering with leaders to help spread the workforce reskilling message across industries. I am pleased to co-chair the "Creators Wanted" campaign by the National Association of Manufacturers. This unprecedented, nationwide effort to reshape the nation's perception of manufacturing has a goal of reducing the industry's skills gap by 600,000 over the next five years.
We are focused on nurturing the diverse communities in which we work and live. I'm proud of our

progress to make our workforce and management ranks more diverse and our workplace more inclusive and reflective of our communities. Diversity and inclusion enable a rich and productive exchange of ideas that lead to the best solutions ­ undoubtedly a competitive advantage as we work to serve our customers. More than 12,500 employees have participated in unconscious bias training since 2016, and in 2019 we increased the number of certified global facilitators to more than 160. I am personally committed to Emerson's continued efforts in this area, and I'm encouraged by the interest and enthusiasm surrounding our growing employee resource groups ­ Veterans, LGBTQ + Allies, Women in STEM and Blacks Reinforcing Diversity.
Our employees are the backbone of our business and our work to positively impact our communities. In 2019, we

contributed time, funds and resources to more than 1,200 charities, nonprofit organizations and educational institutions in the United States, and numerous others in China, India, the Philippines and other countries where we operate. Emerson, the Emerson Charitable Trust and our business units have also made contributions totaling more than $30 million globally to organizations focused on health and human services, education, culture and arts, and civic development, demonstrating our deep commitment to strengthening the communities we serve.
While this report focuses on our accomplishments in 2019, I would also like to thank our teams across the globe who have continued to drive these efforts and critical operations during the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

The safety of our employees is our top priority, and we worked together as an organization to enact additional safeguards and policies to protect our dedicated workforce while meeting our customers' critical needs. Our customers and our technologies are integral to industries that society relies on each and every day: life sciences, food and beverage, power and energy, just to name a few. We understand the important role we play to help these industries carry on their vital work and as we fight this global pandemic together, we remain confident that we will recover from this as a stronger team and organization.
I want to extend my personal gratitude to the Emerson Board of Directors, management team, customers and employees around the world for their support. Amidst a time filled with its fair share of achievements and challenges, we

remain more resolved than ever to positively impact our customers, employees and communities. Through this report and other communications, we are pleased to share our activities and progress with our stakeholders, and we are dedicated to building upon this progress in the years to come.
My personal regards,
David N. Farr Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

PROTECTING FOOD QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILIT Y

Food waste is a significant global issue. Wasted food is the single largest category of material placed in landfills, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

Emerson's technology solutions help protect food across the cold chain ­ the network of refrigerated transport trucks, warehouses, retailers and restaurants used to maintain safe food temperatures and storage from farm to fork. These same Emerson technologies are used to protect critical, temperaturesensitive medications. At the other side of food's life cycle, Emerson provides advanced food waste

disposer solutions to help turn inevitable food scraps into energy.
Fighting Food Waste with Cold Chain Technology
In addition to grocery stores and delivery trucks, Emerson's technologies help organizations like the Mississauga Food Bank, a hunger relief organization in Ontario, Canada, regulate food temperatures for those in need. The Mississauga Food Bank distributes more than 2.5 million pounds of food annually, with

perishable food accounting for more than half of its inventory. Emerson donated a wireless temperature monitoring system to help the food bank manage and protect its inventory, ensuring the organization was able to serve the families throughout the community who need it most.
Turning Food Waste into Energy
Through our garbage disposal technologies, Emerson has helped divert 80 million tons of food waste from landfills. We are building on this technology with our Grind2Energy solution, which uses industrial InSinkErator disposers to enable businesses to turn food scraps into renewable energy.

With the installation of Grind2Energy, McCormick Place can now divert virtually 100% of preconsumer organic waste from their facility.
In 2019, Emerson installed this innovative solution in McCormick Place ­ North America's largest convention center and the first convention center in the world to receive Green Seal certification for environmentally responsible food purchasing. McCormick Place and SAVOR...Chicago, the venue's exclusive food service operator, have operations in place to compost, recycle and donate leftover food, diverting nearly 60% of food waste from landfills.

ENSURING HUMAN COMFORT AND H E A LT H

23%
THE SENSITM TOUCH SMART THERMOSTAT AND SENSITM SMART THERMOSTAT, both of which received the ENERGY STAR certification in 2018, can save users about 23% of HVAC energy consumption.

Emerson empowers customers and businesses to reduce strain on the grid and manage energy efficiency through smart home technologies ­ like our smart thermostats, complementary heating and cooling solutions and energy-efficient compressor units ­ while maintaining optimal human comfort and health.

Maximizing Efficiency and Ease with Technology Solutions
Less than two years after Emerson's Sensi smart thermostats received ENERGY

STAR® certification, Emerson has been named an ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year. Sensi is the first smart thermostat brand to win this honor. ENERGY STAR, a joint program between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S.

Department of Energy, is a well-known indicator of energy efficiency and cost savings.
By adjusting the temperature using flexible scheduling, remote access and geofencing, Sensi Smart thermostats saved customers about 23% on HVAC energy usage. These energy savings were calculated by comparing operation time for a nationwide sample of Sensi users, with savings varying due to a variety of factors including equipment type and frequency of temperature adjustments.
Building on its Sensi suite of smart home capabilities, Emerson created a technology solution to monitor performance, identify issues and alert contractors and

homeowners to costly inefficiencies in HVAC units with Sensi Predict. In addition to improving energy efficiency, this solution also brings ease to home improvement contractors as they evolve their business models. By providing real-time visibility into the health of a system and cutting down on the labor of busy

technicians, Sensi Predict helps address a significant skilled worker shortage by providing real-time notifications for preventive maintenance.

ADVANCING ENERGY AND RESOURCE EFFICIENCY

Environmental sustainability is a critical issue for individuals and businesses alike, and we are committed to advancing strategies and technologies to lower emissions and improve resource efficiency throughout our company and with our customers.

2019 EMERSON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILIT Y REPORT

Enabling Customer Efficiency & Environmental Sustainability
Our manufacturing customers are prioritizing opportunities to enhance the environmental sustainability and efficiency of their operations while working to reach Top Quartile performance, within the top 25% of their peers, in key areas like improved reliability, enhanced safety, higher production and lower energy usage. But with a wide array of metrics in use to measure energy usage and material usage, it can be difficult to know where to start and how to measure progress. Emerson helps customers define their vision and design their environmental sustainability journey.
By combining Emerson's technology offerings, technical expertise and

process knowledge, we help enable customers to realize their efficiency and environmental sustainability goals. Through the implementation of our proven roadmap, customers transform their operations and boost production while reducing energy, resource usage and emissions. Studies have found that Top Quartile performing facilities spend one-third as much as the industry average on energy costs and have 30% less CO2 emissions.
In addition, Emerson's PlantwebTM digital ecosystem ­ a scalable and secure portfolio of transformational sensors, intelligent control elements, software and services ­ provides industrial customers with the insights and confidence needed to drive measurable business

improvement. Together with Emerson's high-fidelity simulator, known as a "digital twin," Plantweb enables customers to identify and test proposed adjustments to operations risk free and in real time, helping ensure changes won't impact production.
In the refining industry, for example, premature fouling of heat exchangers can lead to increased cost of operations and loss of overall energy efficiency due to increased maintenance needs and fuel and steam usage. Dynamic monitoring through Plantweb sensors and analytics can detect premature fouling and alert technicians when action is needed, before energy losses occur. With thousands of heat exchangers across some enterprises, the potential impact is substantial.

Our Board's composition and operations are guided by Emerson's Corporate Governance Principles and Practices, which include the following guidelines:
INDEPENDENCE The majority of Board members must remain independent, and this independence is confirmed at least annually. At the end of 2019, Emerson's Board included 10 independent members and just one inside director, Emerson's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David N. Farr. Our Director Independence Standards are contained in Annex II to our Corporate Governance Principles and Practices.

COMPOSITION Board members must bring senior management business experience or experience in government or other relevant organizations. We continually seek a diversity of viewpoints on our Board that helps us to understand and anticipate changes in our business environment, as well as ethnic and gender diversity.
COMMITTEES To provide sustained, specialized and in-depth oversight in certain areas, Emerson's Board of Directors has five committees: Audit, Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating, Executive, and Finance. All committees, except for the Executive Committee, are comprised entirely of independent Board members. More information about our Board committees and their charters is available in the Corporate Governance section of Emerson.com.

LEADERSHIP The Board's Lead Independent Director serves as the key liaison between the Chairman and the rest of the Board. The duties of the Lead Independent Director include presiding at Board meetings at which the Chairman is absent, including executive sessions of independent or nonmanagement directors, reviewing and consulting with the Chairman regarding meeting agendas and schedules and information to be sent to the Board, calling meetings of independent or nonmanagement directors, consulting with shareholders and serving on the Executive Committee. The company publishes in its annual Proxy Statement the manner in which shareholders can communicate with any director, including the Lead Independent Director.

Recent Corporate Governance Actions
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee periodically reviews the company's governance principles and practices in light of feedback from shareholders, industry trends and risks and opportunities facing the company. When the committee determines any such changes are necessary, it recommends the changes to the full Board to approve any required policy amendments. As a result of this review, the company took the following corporate governance actions:

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERTS: In 2019, the Board determined that two members of the Audit Committee are Audit Committee Financial Experts under SEC rules.
BOARD REFRESHMENT: In 2019 we added two new members to the Board, Martin Craighead, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Baker Hughes, and Mark Blinn, former President and Chief Executive Officer of Flowserve.

DECLASSIFYING BOARD OF DIRECTORS: We recognize that a declassified Board of Directors is increasingly considered an important aspect of good corporate governance. In response to this trend and shareholder input, the company once again submitted a management proposal to declassify our Board of Directors.

The proposal, if adopted, would have resulted in the annual election of Board members to one-year terms, and a fully declassified Board by 2023. The management proposal did not receive the required shareholder approval at the company's Annual Meeting.
GHG REDUCTION TARGETS: In 2019, the company has announced a commitment to reduce GHG emissions by 20%, normalized to sales, by 2028.

SHAREHOLDER RESPONSIVENESS: In response to shareholder input, in 2018 we proposed to amend our Restated Articles to allow shareholders the right to amend our Bylaws. The management proposal did not receive the required shareholder approval at the company's Annual Meeting.

EMERSON LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR DR. CLEMENS A .H. BOERSIG plays a critical role in leading the Board in providing guidance regarding the management of the company and establishing all significant company policies, including ESG commitments.

Enhancing Shareholder Value
One of the most important focus areas for the Board is guiding the organization through shifting economic trends, while continuing to invest in

strategic ways that position the company to deliver value well into the future. To further enhance shareholder value and position, in mid-2019 the Board initiated a comprehensive review of Emerson's operational, capital allocation and portfolio initiatives. In collaboration with

a leading consulting firm and independent legal and financial advisers, our Board spearheaded the evaluation process.
Risk Management and Oversight
The Board as a whole has responsibility for the oversight of Emerson's risk management process. This process is designed to provide to the Board timely visibility into the identification, reporting, assessment and management of critical risks. The Audit Committee has specific responsibility for assisting the Board in risk management, including major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor, mitigate and control such exposures, as well as an annual review of the company's environmental activities, audits and expenditures.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in the oversight of the company's conflict of interest policies, codes of ethics, ESG (environmental social governance), political activities and compliance with laws and regulations, including oversight of the company's political spending activities.
The formal annual risk assessment process includes surveys of all business unit presidents and interviews with all business leaders, corporate functional leaders and members of the Office of the Chief Executive. In addition, the employee responsible for mitigating the risk and the mitigation plan and timeline ensures relevant findings are documented.

The full Board, or the appropriate committee, receives this risk assessment information annually to enable it to understand and monitor Emerson's risk management process. Information brought to the attention of the committees is shared with the full Board as appropriate. Ongoing risk assessments in various areas are also conducted as part of Emerson's normal management process, and the results of those assessments are shared with the Board or relevant committee as needed throughout the year. This could include potential issues such as ethics or human rights violations, environmental risks, etc.

Political Participation
Emerson's shareholders, employees and customers are affected by public policies at all levels of government. To protect shareholder value, Emerson engages with public officials to educate them on our company's operations, emerging technologies and markets.
Further information about Emerson's policies and procedures for political participation, including political spending, lobbying, details of such expenditures and links to recent LD-2, LD-203 and Missouri Ethics Commission reports can be found on the Political Contributions and Trade Associations and Lobbying pages of the Emerson website.

INTEGRITY AND ETHICS

At Emerson, employees and leaders are expected to uphold high standards of honest and ethical behavior, to not only cultivate trust among one another, but with our customers, suppliers and communities.

We are committed to ethical conduct and legal compliance ­ and we clearly define our policies and practices for employees through our Ethics and Compliance Program.

As a company, we are steadfast in our commitment to maintain ethical conduct and legal compliance ­ and clearly define policies and practices for employees through our Ethics and Compliance program. This program is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors.
Our Ethics and Compliance program takes a comprehensive approach through monitoring, investigation and evaluation ­ merging three core functional areas including Human Resources, Audit and Compliance, and Law.

We seek to communicate our program as distinctly as possible to employees through trainings, documentation and reporting channels in which employees can escalate questions or concerns.
The program is revisited annually to ensure consistency with the current business environment and industries in which we operate. New employees are introduced to the program during their onboarding, and current employees and leaders are refreshed on the program on an annual basis through trainings.

Employee Code of Conduct
Our Employee Code of Conduct handbook, "The Right Way," serves as the foundation for how Emerson and our employees conduct business around the world. The latest version is available to all employees and the public at Emerson.com/ethics and has been translated into more than 20 languages. Supplemental ethical guidelines are also provided to executive officers and members of the Board of Directors ­ and available to the public ­ to address the special responsibilities of these leaders.

CEO and Senior Financial Officer Code of Ethics
Our company's most senior leaders adhere to the CEO and Senior Financial Officers Code of Ethics, which outlines expectations including exhibiting and promoting integrity, and providing accurate and timely financial reporting.
Annual Ethics Trainings
All employees are required to complete our company's ethics training on an annual basis to ensure comprehension of our Employee Code of Conduct. The training is offered in person and online, with several interactive components and an evaluation at the end. While we prioritize in-person training, online training is also offered to ensure we reach our remote workforces. In 2019, we achieved a nearly 100% completion rate.

At Emerson, we believe the integrity of our company resides in the integrity of our employees.

In this training, we cover a wide range of ethics and compliance subject areas, including expectations of ethical business practices and behavior, the latest updates to governance principles and practices, and the channels we offer to report ethical concerns. We make it a priority to discuss our no tolerance policy for sexual harassment or retaliation of any kind as well as anti-corruption information that reflects risks identified during the previous year's audits.
In addition to the all-employee training, managers in the United States are required to complete

a separate training, "You and the Law," that narrows in on the ethical responsibilities of those in supervisory roles.
Based on training evaluations and feedback given in our annual global employee engagement survey, we know our Ethics and Compliance program is engaging employees effectively. In the 2019 survey, both salaried and hourly employees reported having a strong understanding of our Ethics and Compliance program and how to report an ethics concern.

to report unethical behavior while ensuring the protection of their employment status. We are fully committed to safeguarding against nonretaliation or harassment of whistleblowers.
Employees are provided with several avenues to escalate ethics concerns. First, employees are encouraged to contact their supervisor or business unit's ethics officer. Employees can also visit Emerson's Ethics Reporting website and file a concern or call the Ethics hotline number. Both channels provide the option for employees to remain anonymous. We ensure interpreters are available to help field calls from employees across our global workforce.

Our website and hotline are operated by an independent third party, which sends reports directly to Emerson's corporate headquarters and directly to the Audit Committee chair for reports regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.
Review and Resolution of Ethics Concerns
Reports of ethics issues are handled by a limited number of experienced and specialized Emerson management personnel. Significant ethics allegations, of which Emerson has a set criterion, are required to be reported directly to the Chief Ethics Officer and Chief Compliance Officer. Each year, internal and external

Conflict of Interest Evaluation and Reporting
Conflicts of interest are taken seriously at Emerson, and transparency and communication are expected of our employees. In addition to disclosing the situation to their supervisors, employees complete an annual questionnaire to identify potential conflicts of interest between the company and any of its directors, officers or employees. This questionnaire is provided in 22 languages, and more than 43,000 directors, officers and employees responded in 2019.
The Chief Ethics Officer and corporate legal department handle all newly reported responses,

which are investigated and then resolved. Emerson's conflict of interest policies are overseen by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, which is informed annually of the outcomes of the conflict of interest evaluation process.
Compliance Risk Oversight
On a quarterly basis, members of Emerson's Compliance Committee meet to discuss new or existing compliance risks based on emerging trends. The committee includes representation from Law, Human Resources, Audit and regional lawyers from Europe, Latin America and Asia. Each functional area is responsible for establishing

and implementing an appropriate amount of controls based on risk.
We assess and monitor risk in nine key areas through a range of methods from self-assessments to on-site audits to inquiries. Emerson engages a third party to review the maturity of its ethics and compliance program and the extent to which the program aligns with U.S. Department of Justice guidelines, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework and other leading practices. The most recent review concluded that the program is aligned with these practices.

Anti-Corruption Controls
Emerson follows detailed processes to prevent corruption across our global operations. On a quarterly basis, all business units are required to certify an Internal Control Questionnaire (ICQ), which includes anticorruption controls. In addition, Emerson's internal audit annually conducts anti-corruption audits at locations identified as a part of a risk assessment.
In addition, all employees who come in contact with customers, government officials, third-party intermediaries and suppliers complete an online anti-corruption training program once every three years. Approximately 50,000

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

We manage our manufacturing facilities around the world according to a global set of principles that guide our commitment to responsible environmental practices.

Highlights of our principles include:

WE COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS, but also seek to reduce and, where possible, eliminate hazardous waste through source reduction and recycling.
WE CONTINUALLY WORK TO MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT through safe technologies, facility design and operating procedures.

WE CONSERVE ENERGY and work to improve the efficiency of the products we manufacture and of our own operations.
WE CONDUCT REGULAR TRAI N I NG to ensure knowledge of updated laws and regulations, pollution-prevention and wasteminimization practices, and technological developments.

WE PERIODICALLY AUDIT OUR O PERATI O N S to confirm compliance with these principles and local laws.

Emerson's business unit presidents implement these principles, with support and guidance from our Corporate Environmental Affairs department. Our general counsel oversees implementation of our environmental principles and periodically reports performance to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
In 2019, we created a dedicated position for a global energy planner whose responsibilities include supervising and helping implement energy reductions for our largest manufacturing sites across the globe. We are also

creating an Executive Corporate Sustainability Steering Group, chaired by company leadership to further our environmental sustainability efforts in 2020.

20%

In September 2019, we announced a new GHG reduction target:
We committed to reduce our GHG emissions by 20%, normalized to sales, across our global manufacturing and shared service facilities by the year 2028, measured by our baseline year of 2018.

Reducing Our GHG Emissions
As a manufacturing leader, we recognize we have a role to play in the global effort to manage energy effectively and to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Our target was developed after extensive work with a leading environmental management consultancy, reviewing GHG reporting protocols, industry best practices and our current global operations. Due to improvements in the data collection and calculation of our facilities' GHG footprint, the incorporation of the market-based approach for scope 2 emissions calculations and adjustment to a fiscal year from calendar year,

Emerson's FY2018 baseline market-based GHG emissions intensity metric has been adjusted slightly to 38.8 from the previously reported value of 37.
To help track against our goal, in 2019 we implemented the global use of a cutting-edge environmental, health and safety software system to track, manage and report our GHG emissions, electricity usage, water consumption and other environmental data to provide our facilities with the tools and resources they need to implement these energy saving measures.
In 2019, we made noticeable progress toward our carbon

mitigation target by producing a GHG emissions intensity metric of approximately 36.6, representing a 5.8% decrease from the 2018 baseline value.
We achieved this reduction throughout a variety of practices, including providing our facilities with tools and resources to implement new energy-saving measures while continuing ongoing environmental training to equip colleagues with knowledge on best practices for reducing energy waste and conserving energy.

Environmental Footprint of Our Facilities
To continue building on our commitment to responsible operations, Emerson tracks our impact on the environment in several ways, including measuring greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, water consumption and energy use associated with our manufacturing operations. Emerson has voluntarily disclosed this data as a participant in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) since 2006.
Our emissions reporting includes all facilities within our operational control, including

nonmanufacturing facilities such as warehouses, distribution centers, headquarters buildings, sales offices and engineering centers.
Historically, we have reported metrics based on the calendar year. This year, in order to align with our financial reporting and add an intensity-based sales metric, we have improved our data collection and calculation methodologies to report by fiscal year. This year, we have also adjusted our reporting to include market-based scope II calculations in addition to locationbased calculations we've shared in the past. Moving forward, we will use our fiscal year market-based 2018 calculations as a baseline in order to measure and track year-over-year progress against the

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions we set in September of 2019. Previously reported data based on calendar year calculations for GHG emissions, water consumption and energy usage can be found at Emerson.com/CSR.
Our greenhouse gas emissions and electricity calculations for fiscal year 2019 included 186 manufacturing facilities and 659 nonmanufacturing facilities. Our water consumption calculations for fiscal year 2019 included 186 manufacturing facilities. Where primary activity data was not available, we have made assumptions ­ based on occupancy, square footage,

site use and other factors ­ to be as thorough and transparent as possible.
In 2019, Emerson experienced a 0.2% decrease in CO2 emissions, a 0.5% decrease in global electricity usage and a 3.6% increase in global water consumption.
Though we had progress in some areas in 2019, we understand the vital importance of continuing to reduce our use of energy and natural resources and remain committed to these efforts in the year ahead.

Designing Greener Buildings
Emerson designs and builds many of our new facilities following the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certified standards, incorporating sustainable design principles and local standards, technologies and best practices. This approach is just another way we seek to reduce
the impact of our operations on environmental resources.
Our fluid control and pneumatics headquarters in Florham Park, New Jersey, was recognized in October 2019 by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) for its leadership in

Environmental Stewardship. The LEED® Silver-certified facility was specifically honored for voluntary and proactive measures taken to improve the environment and foster sustainability, including reduction of water and energy use, management of wetlands, diversified arboreal investments and meadows development.
This year, Emerson also joined the Energy Star Buildings & Plants Partnership, an initiative driven by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), aimed at raising awareness of energy management practices. Through this partnership, Emerson will collaborate with the Agency and other companies to continue to share best practices on operational resourcefulness.

Environmental Training
To help drive continued leadership across the organization, Emerson regularly conducts environmental training programs for our plant environmental managers, business unit environmental coordinators and other key personnel worldwide.
Each session addresses the specific needs of the regions in which our facilities are located. Employees receive online or face-to-face environmental training to both give employees a practical understanding of the environmental laws and regulations as they apply to the company, and share best practices on how to reduce waste, enhance the quality of the environment and conserve energy.

Environmental Compliance
Emerson takes into consideration the environmental aspects of how we design, engineer and manufacture products, ensuring that materials and processes are safe and adhere to industry standards and government regulations, such as WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directives.

We also annually assess the environmental compliance of Emerson facilities. During this process, we analyze the procedures and performance of our facilities against standards set by local law or Emerson's standards, whichever is more stringent. In addition, when acquiring companies, we assess their environmental policies and procedures to correct any issues and ensure they meet our standards.

Emerson requires every manufacturing facility to receive a third-party environmental compliance audit every five years, in which auditors conduct detailed inspections of the facility and its environmental records. These audits evaluate environmental regulatory compliance, as well as the overall environmental management practices of each plant. In addition, the audit process also encourages plant environmental managers to look beyond basic compliance to explore ways to implement more innovative and productive environmental management practices.
Before an on-site inspection by an outside environmental consultant, each plant must complete a detailed questionnaire provided by the Corporate Environmental Affairs Department. Once the formal audit is completed and the outside auditor submits a written report, Corporate Environmental

Affairs works with the business unit president and facility personnel to ensure all audit findings are addressed.
To ensure consistent vigilance, about 10% of Emerson's third-party audits are surprise audits, in which facility managers receive, in most cases, only 48 hours' notice of the audit team's visit.
During years in which plants do not have a third-party compliance audit, business unit environmental coordinators work with plant management to complete a selfassessment to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. Corporate environmental staff oversee this annual process.
Fines and Sanctions
Emerson facilities are routinely inspected by environmental authorities in the jurisdictions where we operate. It is Emerson's policy to cooperate fully with

environmental authorities. Most inspections by authorities do not result in monetary fines, penalties or citations. When environmental fines or penalties have been imposed, the costs have been minimal in comparison with the size of our operations.
In fiscal year 2019, environmental regulators inspected our facilities or were notified of incidents on 19 different occasions worldwide (compared with 39 occasions in 2018). Of these occasions in 2019, four (compared to two in 2018) resulted in monetary penalties, which totaled $2,246.18. The average annual cost of environmental fines and penalties incurred globally by Emerson from 2014 through 2019 was approximately $8,600.

In 2019, we also completed an Employee Culture Survey focused on understanding how employees feel about our culture and environment as an organization. Through this survey of 19,500 people, we learned that 8 out of 10 people are proud to work at Emerson, and 3 out of 4 say their job gives them a sense of accomplishment. In addition, 7 out of 10 would recommend Emerson as a great place to work to friends. These are encouraging numbers that give us a strong foundation to continue building.

Labor Relations
We respect our employees' right to freedom of association in choosing labor organizations to represent them. We work collaboratively to keep positive relationships with the unions, works councils and employee associations that represent many

of our employees. In the United States, approximately 6% of our workforce was unionized as of 2019. Worldwide, approximately 30% of our employees are represented by an employee representative organization, such as a union, works council or employee association.
Wages and Benefits
At Emerson, we are working to retain and grow our exceptional global workforce. We seek to uphold our

value of Supporting Our People by providing competitive wages and benefits in the local markets where we operate around the world. Our compensation practices comply with applicable wage laws and international standards, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime compensation and legally mandated benefits. In compliance with local laws, employees receive compensation for overtime at pay rates higher than regular hourly rates. The basis on which workers are paid is documented in a timely manner via pay stub or similar written communication. In the United States, we offer a standard benefits package for full-time employees that includes health care, life insurance, disability coverage, paid parental leave and access to a retirement savings program. In other countries, our

benefits packages for full-time employees vary in accordance with legal mandates, but all do include paid parental leave.
PAID PARENTAL LEAVE Having a work-life balance and ample family time is critical to our employees' well-being. Our recent paid leave policy for new parents across our company ­ implemented globally Jan. 1, 2019 ­ has been positively received. This new paid parental leave policy outlines time off not by gender roles but by determining the primary caregiver.
When welcoming a new child into the home through birth or adoption, Emerson employees who identify as primary caregiver receive 12 consecutive weeks of paid parental leave with 100% pay upon the birth or adoption. Employees who wish to support their spouses or partners during

Emerson recently centralized and expanded our dedicated U.S. employee assistance program, offering benefits that include financial planning and bereavement support.

this time as a secondary caregiver can receive two weeks of paid parental leave, which must be taken within six months of the birth or adoption. In countries where the minimum standards of applicable law exceed our new policies, Emerson will always comply with the law.
Equal Employment Opportunity
Emerson is committed to our policy to recruit, hire, train and promote people in all job classifications without regard

to sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age, marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, disability or protected veteran status. It is our policy and our practice that this equal employment opportunity be present in all aspects of employment, including but not limited to compensation, benefits, promotions, transfers, layoffs, company-sponsored training, tuition assistance and education.

INVESTING IN PEOPLE 43

Discrimination and Harassment
We value the contributions of all employees and do not tolerate any discrimination or harassment. This is reinforced in our annual ethics training that is mandatory for all employees. In addition, we initiated a dedicated effort to conduct training for our people managers on unconscious bias in hiring, promotion and pay decisions in 2017. More than 12,500 of our directors, managers and individual contributors have participated in unconscious bias training over the past three years. We are now rolling this effort out to other levels of the organization.
Conditions of Employment
Emerson operates with reasonable working hours to maintain a positive and productive work environment consistent with commonly accepted practices

in each locale. Employees elect whether to accept employment after being fully apprised of the terms, conditions, practices and expectations of their jobs. Workers are not required to surrender government-issued identification, passports or work permits as a condition of employment.
Transition Assistance
Emerson provides outplacement services for exempt-level U.S. employees in situations where layoffs or reductions in force are required due to business conditions, acquisitions or divestitures. In other countries, Emerson follows legal mandates.
Human Rights
In our business operations around the world, Emerson lives our commitment to respect and promote human rights, which are essential to a healthy and vital commercial environment

and to the broader society. This entails specific attention to particularly challenging issues and activities, including:
COMMITMENT TO HUMANE TREATMENT We do not allow or condone any form of harsh or inhumane treatment, including sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, mental or physical coercion or verbal abuse, nor do we allow managers to threaten treatment of this nature.
PROHIBITION ON FORCED LABOR Our policies prohibit, and we do not use any forced, bonded, indentured or other compulsory labor. We also prohibit our suppliers from using any forced, bonded, indentured or other compulsory labor. Our policies are in compliance with important regulations, like the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. Emerson fully

supports these and other efforts to eradicate human trafficking across the globe.
PROHIBITION OF CHILD LABOR Our policies oppose child labor, and we do not use child labor in any facility or business. Emerson has established age 18 as a standard minimum age for employment, which complies with or exceeds local legal requirements. We support the use of legitimate workplace apprenticeship programs that conform with laws and regulations. We also prohibit our suppliers from employing anyone under the local legal working age.
Grievance Reporting Mechanisms
We prioritize providing a safe space where employees feel comfortable sharing concerns, either directly or through anonymous channels. Employee knowledge of where and how

to file concerns routinely scores among the highest questions on our employee opinion survey.
In addition to formal and informal complaint or grievance procedures at our business units, employees or other concerned parties have access to Emerson's global ethics and compliance hotline to report complaints or concerns. Ethics hotline emails or calls are received by an independent company, which reports the information to designated management personnel at Emerson's corporate headquarters for investigation and response. This outside service does not track visitors to its website, and the person can choose to provide their name or remain anonymous, unless prohibited by country regulations. Further information is available on the Emerson.com Ethics & Compliance page.

Leadership Development Programs
At Emerson, we provide programs that empower our employees to build and strengthen their leadership and professional skills throughout their careers. Through our Charles F. Knight

Learning Center staff, based in St. Louis, Missouri, we develop and implement programming for managers that ties all training and developmental opportunities to business objectives, enabling our employees to immediately put what they have learned to work. Our approach, which effectively differentiates Emerson from our

2019 EMERSON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILIT Y REPORT

peers and has been praised by experts on leadership development, helps our employees develop in their careers, grow their job satisfaction and, ultimately, positions Emerson as a leader in the marketplace.
FOUNDATIONAL LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT We take pride in investing in the leadership development for our employees at all levels.
This year, we unveiled a new program that is available to all our professional employees globally. Performing and Developing at Emerson is a two-day immersion workshop, training employees on performance reviews, setting career goals and outlining expectations of working at Emerson.
New managers also attend our three-day Leading at Emerson workshop. This training helps our new managers gain a deeper understanding of our culture, hone their leadership skills and

ultimately learn how they can grow with Emerson. Each year, more than 2,000 managers attend this workshop.
ACCELERATED LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT Our supervisors continually look for opportunities to recognize deserving employees, and can nominate high-potential mid-level leaders for multiple professional development opportunities:
Our Rising Leaders Program covers fundamental competencies of being a leader at Emerson. Participants go through two, one-week intensive sessions to acknowledge progress from one session to the next. In 2019, 300 leaders from across the globe participated in and graduated from the program.
Our Executive Leadership Program is a highly selective program for senior leaders throughout Emerson. Throughout 36 months of leadership development curricula, participants develop skills on various

topics ranging from emotional intelligence to long-term strategic direction.
Performance Reviews
All of our salaried employees and their supervisors conduct an annual performance review, focusing on performance goals, development goals and competency-based goals. Our hourly workers are also expected to have similar conversations, reviewing their performance as it relates to their job categories.
In 2019, we launched our new performance management process, using a global competency framework for employee performance and development planning. Throughout the year of deploying this global performance management system, we also developed a global training and toolkit resource guide to equip managers and employees with the support they need to have effective performance discussions.

WORKPLACE SAFETY

Safety is critical to everything we do, which is why Safety & Quality are core values for Emerson.

Our safety efforts are guided by our Corporate Safety Council, which is composed of our top human resources, operations and safety leads for our company. The council meets quarterly to track progress on priorities, including safety education, prevention, trends and compliance.
Each of our locations with 50 or more employees has a health and safety committee operating at the local level, which includes representation from members

of the workforce, to work proactively in addressing health and safety concerns. We conduct safety training for all operational employees and management.
We annually recognize the achievements of locations in safety performance with Safety Leadership Awards, including our Chief Operating Officer Safety Award given to the location with outstanding safety performance and culture programs.

Our Commercial & Residential Solutions Climate Technologies facility in Kolin, Czech Republic received the 2019 Chief Operating Officer Safety Award for their longstanding commitment to safety, including over nine years without a recordable injury.

2019 EMERSON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILIT Y REPORT

We are committed to reducing and further eliminating the risk of serious injuries, because we believe every incident is preventable. This year, we've brought that commitment to life through:

· A monthly newsletter series focused on our 12 Lifesaving Behaviors. This companywide initiative across the globe deepens our culture around safety and reinforces safe practices our employees can implement each day.
· Our required I Own Safety training modules. This global, five-module series explores the state of safety at Emerson, and shares tips to identify safe and unsafe practices as well as suggestions to understand and assess risk and take action when needed.

· Our partnership with a third-party software service for incident reporting and tracking. This global program empowers our employees to report safety hazards or incidents. The platform is easily accessible to our employees via their mobile devices and includes features such as adding photos from a mobile phone to document in the report.

INVESTING IN PEOPLE 48

To ensure our facilities are up to both Emerson's and local safety standards, we conduct cross-business and cross-platform safety audits at our facilities on a regular basis. Based on the results of these selective audits, we work with the local facility management to provide step-by-step plans to address any issues that are revealed.

Emerson's emphasis on safety and health encourages continuous improvement in all our processes for our employees and our customers, including:

PROTECTIVE DEVICES

ERGONOMICS

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

SECURITY

We continually look for opportunities to engineer and apply protective devices or automation that can mitigate risk from workplace processes and equipment. In 2019, we created our Greenlee Gator Insulated Tools, a first-ofits-kind insulated hydraulic tool line, designed to absorb voltage from the tool before it reaches the person using it.

Where processes involve repetitive tasks, we design work approaches to minimize the impact on our employees. We have a dedicated Ergonomics testing lab through our Greenlee Ergolab, ensuring we are creating the latest innovation and security for our employees and customers.

With sound maintenance routines and protocols, Emerson continually reviews equipment to keep it in top operating shape, which reduces the potential for hazards while maximizing productivity.

To ensure a well-protected, safe workplace, we consistently evaluate access into our facilities, following international guidelines and standards.

41%
OVERALL TOTAL RECORDABLE RATE OF INJURIES has reduced by 41% since 2014.*

We measure health and safety performance across all our facilities to ensure continuous improvement and high standards in every facility.

In 2019, our workplace injury rate increased slightly due to an isolated foodborne illness incident at one of our global locations. Excluding that single isolated incident would have resulted in a decreased Total Recordable Rate of Injuries of 0.45.
Driven by improved global data integrity via a centralized

safety management system, we have revised our previously reported recordable injuries data to include restricted cases, lost workday cases and fatalities. We are closely reviewing the 2019 data to determine where we need to improve, and we are increasing our safety communication efforts to raise awareness.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

At Emerson, we are committed to fostering a culture where every employee is valued and respected for their experiences and perspectives.
We believe a diverse and inclusive work environment contributes to the rich exchange of ideas that inspire innovation and bring the best solutions to our customers.
This philosophy is fundamental to living our company's values as we nurture the diverse communities in which we work and live.

Emerson's approach to fostering diversity and inclusion is built around three pillars:

1PEOPLE We are committed to increasing diversity in our workforce, and to attracting, hiring, developing and promoting talent in a way that fosters an inclusive work environment and ensures diverse ideas and perspectives are leveraged to create solutions for our customers.

2CULTURE We believe a culture where all employees are accepted and respected is a competitive advantage. We are committed to creating a workplace culture where all employees feel empowered to do their best work and can reach their full potential.

3COMMUNITIES We are active members of the communities and industries in which Emerson operates, and we seek to support and work with others outside our organization who share our commitment to promoting diversity and inclusiveness in the broader society.

Diversity and inclusion are prioritized at the highest levels of our company. Our strategies and policies are guided by Emerson's chief executive officer and diversity council, made

up of 14 senior-level Emerson executives. Our vice president of diversity and inclusion, Akberet Boykin Farr, leads planning and implementation across the global organization. In 2017, Emerson Chairman and CEO David Farr

pledged support to CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion, a collective effort by the business community to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Ensuring Diversity in Our Talent Pipeline
We are urging our managers to widen the funnel of candidates we consider for salaried job openings and promotions to ensure the candidate pools being considered reflect diversity. We have also increased our focus on partnering our ERGs with the Talent Acquisition function to align diverse candidate recruiting strategies, which has led to a new partnership between Blacks Reinforcing Diversity and National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). In addition, we engage in targeted recruiting in the following areas:
WO MEN : Our recruitment of engineering degree graduates and Master of Business Administration degree recipients puts a special focus on reaching women candidates. In addition to our university-focused recruiting, Emerson is a proud supporter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the leading organization dedicated to the advancement of women engineers ­ and we recruit women engineering talent at SWE conferences and job fairs.
M I N O R ITI ES: Emerson participates in recruiting events at universities and job fairs during professional societies' annual conferences to identify qualified minority candidates for both entry- and executive-level positions. We are a longtime corporate supporter of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, which works with companies seeking to reduce underrepresentation of African Americans, Native Americans and Hispanic Americans in education and business.
U.S. MILITARY VETERANS: Emerson and our business units seek to provide post-military job opportunities for U.S. military veterans. In addition, we regularly participate in veterans-focused MBA recruiting events at the University of Michigan, Northwestern University, Harvard University and Washington University in St. Louis.

Mentorship Mindset
We believe mentorship can be a multiplier in our work to improve our pipeline of diverse talent. We understand the importance of mentoring and know employees respond positively when an experienced or more senior colleague takes an interest in their professional development and interests. Formal mentoring programs are available in many of our business units around the world, and in 2019, we laid the groundwork to develop an organization-wide mentorship program focused on identifying women and minority employees

who are rising leaders and matching them with knowledgeable mentors. This program seeks to expand the leadership competencies of high-potential employees and cultivate inclusion throughout Emerson.

Diversity & Inclusion Week in Sweden
In November 2019, Emerson's Rosemount Tank Radar site in Sweden hosted its first Diversity & Inclusion Week, designed to foster openness, understanding and excitement about the power of each person's differences to enable the group to thrive. Activities were planned throughout the week to educate, celebrate and inspire, including TED-style talks, global cuisine lunches and a lecture on inclusion by Sofia Appelgren, founder of Mitt Liv (My Life), a company that focuses on enabling an inclusive society and labor market.

Training & Assessment Opportunities
We know that ongoing diversity training is an important part of driving awareness and changing behavior throughout an organization. We continue to hold diversity training globally to help our people managers and other employees recognize and manage their unconscious biases. We have expanded our diversity training into other areas and continually evaluate other opportunities to provide education and insights to build on our inclusive, positive culture.

In 2019, we also began offering senior leaders the opportunity to use the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI), an online assessment tool that helps build cultural understanding, shift perspectives on diversity issues and appropriately adapt behavior to cultural differences and commonalities. After leaders complete the IDI, their responses are analyzed and reports are provided back with guidance on increasing cultural selfunderstanding to improve their own cross-cultural goals. More than 260 senior leaders completed IDI this year.

Employee Resources
Emerson is committed to providing employees around the world with the necessary resources for a welcoming, inclusive workplace. Our employee resource groups (ERGs) are a critical component.

These voluntary, employee-led groups help promote a diverse and inclusive workplace while empowering employees to work toward a common goal. While each ERG is empowered to establish its own unique mission statement, all seek to further the professional development of their members, educate fellow

employees and participate in community outreach activities.
Emerson's four diversity-focused ERGs experienced significant growth and success in 2019:
· Blacks Reinforcing Diversity, established in 2018, expanded with additional chapters and interest groups across the country and led initiatives including a mentorship program for members, university recruiting, a partnership with the National Society of Black Engineers and participation in various Black History Month celebrations.
· Women in STEM, our first ERG, grew to more than 4,000 members and held more than 700 events across its 85 chapters around the world, including new chapters in Saudi Arabia and Argentina.

· LGBTQ+ Allies, established in 2018 based on a growing interest group in Manila, expanded its membership in 2019 to locations around the globe. Emerson's headquarters in St. Louis sponsored the local pride event, PrideSTL 2019, for the first time.
· The Veterans ERG, officially debuted on Veterans Day in 2018, partnered in 2019 with many well-established Veteran organizations, including a mentorship program with American Corporate Partnership, a job training program with Hiring Our Heroes and a consistent volunteer project with the USO.

2019 STEM Survey

Emerson is playing a lead role in our local communities and globally to help prepare our future leaders with STEM-related education and raise awareness of career opportunities in these fields.

For five years, we have conducted a STEM survey to understand more about perceptions and beliefs about STEM education and careers. Our 2019 survey ­ our first global survey ­ found that 60% of Americans are interested in pursuing STEM careers, but only 39% feel encouraged to do so.
As the global manufacturing industry relies more and more on STEM skills ­ and its workforce is

required to have more technical knowledge than ever before ­ Emerson is committed to bridging this gap. To prepare the next generation for these careers, Emerson has an enhanced emphasis on promoting STEM, especially among women and minorities who are traditionally underrepresented in the engineering and manufacturing industries.

Among the initiatives that received Emerson corporate or business unit funding in 2019 were:
Ranken Technical College Emerson has pledged $1.8 million over three years (2019-2021) to Ranken Technical College in St. Louis, Missouri, for its preapprentice training program and to fund scholarships for students from North St. Louis County who demonstrate financial need. In 2019, we introduced the Performance Learning Platform created for Ranken students. This portable and compact automation technology training solution enables hands-on training to prepare students to maintain manufacturing facilities safely and efficiently. This contribution is part of Emerson's longtime support of Ranken's programs, and follows a partnership with the institution to develop its Manufacturing Incubator facility, opened in 2018 and designed to

enable Ranken students to split their time between classroom study and real-world learning, all while earning a salary that can help them support themselves as they complete their studies.
San Jacinto College Emerson partnered with San Jacinto College, located in Pasadena, Texas to support its new Center for Petrochemical, Energy, and Technology (CPET), which will empower students of all levels with the skills and training needed to support careers in the evolving petrochemical and refining industries. The new, 151,000-square-foot complex is the largest petrochemical training facility along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Marian Middle School Emerson is supporting STEMrelated education programming at Marian Middle School, an all-girls school in St. Louis,

Missouri that provides more than 70 students from lowincome backgrounds with quality education, enrichment programs and graduate support. Emerson's funding is helping support a robotics competition team, partnerships with medical education institutions, and computer science and coding courses.

SCHOLARSHIPS OFFERED BY EMERSON BUSINESSES Many of our business units offer STEM-related scholarships in the communities where they operate or nationally. For example, Emerson's ASCO Engineering Scholarships are awarded each year to two students who demonstrate outstanding potential for leadership and contributions to the engineering profession. The scholarships, totaling $10,000, are given to bolster the students' success and future contributions as engineering professionals.

Emerson facilities host "We Love STEM Days" for employees' children and youth outreach in the communities where we operate. The goal of this initiative is to help young people discover STEM fields ­ and some students even leave our events inspired to pursue careers in STEM. The events

are organized with volunteer support from our employees, most especially our local Women in STEM members. Emerson has hosted 23 "We Love STEM" events in 12 countries, with more than 1,800 volunteers reaching over 1,700 students.

The goal of the "We Love STEM" initiative is to help young people discover STEM fields ­ and some students even leave our events inspired to pursue careers in STEM.

UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Established by the United Nations and adopted by member states in 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identify the ways in which organizations and individuals can make our world more sustainable, prosperous and resilient for the future.

In 2019, we began to assess how we can best contribute to the SDGs. Through a preliminary approach, we have identified several initiatives and practices in place that aim to address the various environmental, social and

economic challenges facing our planet today.
Examples of these actions and programs as they relate to the SDGs are illustrated here and throughout this report.

GOAL 4 ­ QUALITY EDUCATION
As the global manufacturing industry relies on STEM skills, Emerson is uncompromising in our efforts to bridge the current skills-gap. We are working to ensure equitable access to all levels of education, especially for those who are traditionally underrepresented in the engineering and manufacturing industries. In fiscal 2019, Emerson pledged $3 million in funding commitments in support of STEM education, programs and activities.

GOAL 5 ­ GENDER EQUALITY
Emerson is making a concerted effort across the company and around the world to advance women's participation in the workforce and end genderbased discrimination. In 2019, we laid the foundation for an organization-wide mentorship program focused on identifying women and minority employees who are rising leaders and matching them with knowledgeable mentors. The program seeks to expand the leadership competencies of high-potential employees and cultivate inclusion throughout Emerson and beyond.

GOAL 6 ­ CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
Through our fluid control products and solutions, Emerson is working to improve water quality and increase access to safe drinking water by helping our customers ensure their water applications are clean, safe and compliant with regulations. In 2019, Emerson expanded our lead-free ASCOTM valve offerings to enable original equipment manufacturers and contractors to comply with U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Section 1417. The expansion eliminates the necessity for complex lead content calculations and simplifies the replacement of existing valves with lead-free brass models.

UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS 74

GOAL 7 ­ AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
From smart sensors in industrial facilities to cloud applications and connected services, Emerson is helping customers across industries introduce technologies to improve energy efficiency. In advance of evolving regulations facing customers in the commercial air conditioning industry, Emerson recently introduced a new line of CopelandTM scroll compressors specifically designed for lowerGWP refrigerants and increased energy efficiencies. The flexible product platform also provides infrastructure upon which future sustainability improvements can be expanded ­ all without compromising ease of system installation or servicing.

GOAL 8 ­ DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
Through our regionalized sourcing strategy, Emerson has made significant long-term investments to serve local market suppliers and support sustainable economic development in the areas where we operate. With this in-region, for-region focus, we have helped to advance critical infrastructure around the world and provide enhanced training, research and upskilling opportunities for local talent.

GOAL 9 ­ INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Emerson's Plantweb and Ovation systems allow industrial customers in countries such as China, India, Poland and others to modernize their power plants to operate more efficiently and enable other power generators to adapt to cleaner energy sources. In 2019, Emerson began work with TransAlta Corporation to help convert coal-fired plants to natural gas for delivery of clean, sustainable and affordable electricity. The conversions will substantially reduce emissions while providing clean, reliable electricity to the city of Alberta.

GOAL 12 ­ RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION
Around the globe, Emerson is working to ensure we and our customers responsibly make the most of the planet's resources. Through our garbage disposal technologies, we've helped divert 80 million tons of food waste from landfills. We're building on this technology with our Grind2Energy solution, which uses industrial InSinkErator disposers to enable businesses to turn food scraps into renewable energy. In 2019, Emerson installed the innovative solution into McCormick Place ­

North America's largest convention center. With the installation of Grind2Energy, McCormick Place can now divert virtually 100% of pre-consumer organic waste from their facility. This focus extends to many resources. Emerson's flow measurements solutions are essential to improving resource efficiency for industrial customers, providing real-time measurements to allow them to manage and optimize materials use, energy efficiency and emissions performance.

GOAL 17 ­ PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS
No one organization or policy solution on its own can address the challenges we face in advancing these ambitious goals. Emerson actively participates in a number of strategic public-private partnerships and coalitions dedicated to promoting the development and dissemination of technology solutions for all, including the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion, the European Partnership for Energy and the Environment, the Global Food Cold Chain Council, the Responsible Minerals Initiative, and the ENERGY STAR® buildings and Plants Partnership, to name a few.

These data are compiled and used to calculate Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Scope 1 emissions are calculated using the EPA Center for Corporate Climate Leadership Greenhouse Gas Inventory Guidance ­ direct emission from mobile and stationary sources, January 2016, tables A-1, A-2, B-1, B-7 and B-8. For CY2018 Emerson included nonmanufacturing sites in the Scope 1 and 2 emissions. While estimations and assumptions were used to gather the data for nonmanufacturing sites, emission calculations are done the same as the manufacturing sites.
