Sustainability

Sustainability at Howden is deeply rooted in who we are as a company and as a team. James Howden founded Howden in 1854 as a marine engineering company and it was his early inventions that enabled the steamships of his era to reduce their energy consumption by nearly 50%. 

Our compressors, blowers, steam turbines, rotary heat exchangers, fans and digital solutions all have vital roles to play in helping companies avoid emissions, increase efficiencies, switch to greener renewable fuels, preserve scarce resources and reduce waste.

This extensive product portfolio, alongside our deep expertise in air and gas handling, means that our approach is relevant to a large and diverse range of industries. 

Supporting our customers’ sustainability goals

We enable our customers’ efficient, sustainable management of water resources and wastewater.

We support our customers’ drive for environmental efficiency, reduction of emissions and switch to renewable energy.

We partner with our customers and support their energy transition to advance a more sustainable world.

 

Environmental, Social and Governance

ESG is integrally linked to our vision of ‘enabling our customers’ vital processes which advance a more sustainable world’, and is clearly aligned with one of our core values, ‘we do the right thing’. In short, our ESG efforts are a fundamental characteristic of our brand as well as our purpose as an organisation.
