An intense focus on the customer, combined with the leverage and discipline of Dover drives the continued success of our businesses.

Now, more than half a century after our founding, these operating principles have propelled Dover to become a world-class Company.

The backbone behind our collection of outstanding businesses is a team of dedicated employees who protect and enhance our valued reputation for quality and delivering what we promise. It’s our values that define Dover to all of our key audiences: our shareholders, customers, prospective employees and especially to ourselves.

These values must be expressed in our work and embody our actions, as they form the basis by which we do our jobs, make decisions and measure our performance. It’s our unwavering commitment to maintaining our values that defines who we are as a Company.

At Dover, we strive to continue to be champions of our values to help propel Dover to even greater success.

Throughout our history, Dover's commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainability has created significant value. Across our portfolio of operating companies and a team of over 25,000 employees, we remain focused on operating and innovating sustainably to help meet the goals of our customers, realize the full potential of our employees through a culture that supports and values their efforts, and make the communities in which we operate stronger.

SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT

We are proud of our longstanding commitment to sustainability and we are dedicated to integrating sustainability into our business strategy and operations. We are pursuing sustainability initiatives that support our employees, customers, and communities to ensure our businesses continue to create long-term value for our shareholders.

In 2020, we began implementing a three-year plan to expand our Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) disclosures, metrics, goals, and governance oversight. This journey commenced after extensive dialogue with our stakeholders and with the strong support of and collaboration with our Board of Directors. As part of our evolving strategy, we intend to deploy ESG-related goals and key performance indicators across our business, and to report on material goals and our performance results.

Our ESG areas of focus serve as the framework for evolving these goals and metrics to measure our future performance. They also influence our approach to product creation and innovation, environmentally sustainable operational practices, supply chain management, attracting, retaining, and protecting our people, optimizing our community impact, and fostering a culture of integrity and accountability.

We are proud to report that we met our publicly stated 2020 greenhouse gas (GHG) and energy reduction goals ahead of schedule and we are committed to renewing these goals and continually improving our performance in other ESG priority areas.
