The Pathways to Sustainability programme is a four-year, multi-pronged experience that provides participants with holistic learning opportunities, energy transition project advisement and additional benefits related to sustainable product access.
The emphasis of the programme is on understanding each participating company’s sustainability objectives and providing participants with information and tools that will help them understand where they are on their own unique journeys and where energy transition strategies may need to be customized to support individual actions.
The programme includes in-person and virtual training opportunities centered on six strategic areas impacted by the energy transition – strategy, people, product, process, technology and infrastructure. In alignment with Caterpillar’s 2030 Sustainability Goals, the programme will explore opportunities to make an impact toward customers’ site emissions reduction objectives through multiple avenues, including the use of technology, reducing machine lifecycle waste, fleet-bridging strategies and solutions that can be applied today to improve efficiency.
Cat says the Pathways to Sustainability programme is the next phase of its sustainability offerings, building off of the company’s Early Learner programme which was established in 2021. The Early Learner programme includes electrification agreements with a select group of customers across the globe who are working with Caterpillar to test and validate the company’s new battery electric machines, and charging and infrastructure solutions.
Caterpillar senior VP Marc Cameron commented: “To make a step-change, it will take the industry coming together. That is what our Early Learner program and now the Pathways to Sustainability programme are all about – learning and working together toward a brighter future. We are proud to support our customers every step of the way as they design their own unique paths and goals, now and through the energy transition.”
