Product Safety

Our product design and development processes include rigorous protocols for safety, and we ensure that all of our products comply with mandatory safety standards. We also design our products in accordance with applicable voluntary safety standards and certify our products to relevant third-party standards. During the product design and development process, we conduct robust product testing in different environments and conditions to assess our products’ safety and confirm they meet customer needs.

Packaging

During product design, we evaluate our packaging with end-of-life in mind. We thoughtfully consider potential minimization efforts that include decreasing reliance on non-recyclable materials, minimizing the use of plastics and, where possible, redesigning to use fewer materials. Over the last 15 years, our teams have implemented several returnable retailer container programs that replace the need for wooden crates and carboard boxes to prevent waste from entering the landfill.

Energy Use and Emissions

Creating energy-efficient products is one of the most important ways we strive to contribute to addressing global climate risks. Such products contribute to environmental stewardship and result in lower cost of ownership for our customers by reducing energy costs over the life of a product. We ensure power supplies and battery chargers used on our electric-powered products meet applicable energy efficiency regulations, including those administered by the California Energy Commission, U.S. Department of Energy and Natural Resources Canada.

Water Use and Conservation

Water stewardship remains a key area of focus as we work to support our landscape, golf and agricultural customers with precision technologies to best manage the water resources critical to their operations. Leveraging research from our Center for Technology, Research and Innovation team and our product development process, we design products to enhance water stewardship across our industries. Learn more.
