Sustainability Commitment

Snap-on is committed to continuous improvement in the areas of environment, health & safety (EH&S); quality; social responsibility; customer connection; and innovation. We are committed to non-negotiable product and workplace safety.

We strive to protect environmental quality and human welfare in our workplace and our surrounding communities and to implement environmentally sound policies designed to prevent, mitigate, and reduce the impact on the environment or the communities in which we operate.

We believe that setting and attaining environmental goals, as part of our daily operations, can and should promote our economic health and operational growth, and as such, should help to safeguard natural resources and the environment. 

Our EH&S commitment reaches into all aspects of our operations, product development and supply chain, all of which is intended to promote sustainability.
