IRVING,
Texas, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Caterpillar
Inc. (NYSE: CAT) announced the formation of a new educational
program designed to support mining, quarry and aggregate industry
customers on their energy transition journeys. The Pathways to
Sustainability program 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 program 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 program 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 program will explore opportunities to
make an impact towards 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.
The Pathways to Sustainability program is the next phase of
Caterpillar's sustainability offerings, building off of the
company's Early Learner program which was established in 2021. The
Early Learner program 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 Vice President Marc
Cameron explains, "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 program 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."
