This is the ethos across our portfolio — from our turbocharging technologies and electric boosting systems for internal combustion engines (ICE) and hybrid vehicles and their use of zero-emission fuels such as hydrogen, to our new zero-emission applications with Fuel Cell Compressor, E-Powertrain, and E-Cooling products for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEV).
We support our customers to continually improve energy efficiency and emission reduction to meet increasingly stringent emission standards and reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions to achieve the ambitions of the Paris climate agreement.
Furthermore, we are answering the unmet needs for the electric vehicle industry related to vehicle efficiency, weight, driving range, and thermal management. An emerging focus for our differentiated technologies is also in the industrial sector where achieving increased energy efficiency, hence improving total cost of ownership, and productivity is key to driving both environmental and operational performance.
Our sustainability framework – called WeCare4 – starts from our mission to enable energy efficiency and emission reduction, with more than 99% of our revenue and our R&D spends focus on emission reducing and zero-emission technologies. It is supported by two main sustainability pillars: Investing in a culture of innovation and Operating responsibly. This framework, together with strong governance and thoughtful commitments, fuel our environment, social and governance objectives and accountability.

Garrett actively supports STEM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics), education to help grow the number of future innovators.
Our activities range from engaging younger school children to explore STEM through different activities such as competitions and school STEM labs, to engaging university students to nurture interest to pursue STEM careers and offer development opportunities, including Graduate and Internship Programs for students and young professionals. We are also run programs that facilitate better access to education for students living in vulnerable communities.
