Commitment to the Environment and to Health and Safety

Rogers Corporation, a global technology leader in the development and manufacture of high performance, specialty-material-based products for a variety of applications in diverse markets, recognizes environmental stewardship, and maintaining the highest health and safety standards, as a cornerstone of its global business operations. So committed are we to continuous improvement, that we communicate about our initiatives freely and openly with our various stakeholders including employees, stockholders, customers and vendors. Our commitment is a key element in our brand definition and a central focus of how we define ourselves as a company. It is highlighted as the first Core Belief on the company’s Vision card, is featured in the 2006 Rogers’ annual report, and is championed on Rogers’ website.

Main Focus

The company’s main areas of focus include:

Developing innovative products that are designed with consideration for the environment
Implementing sustainable practices and processes to benefit the environment
Continuously improving Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) performance across Rogers’ operations globally

At Rogers we put our commitment to environmental management systems into practice. In support of our core belief, Rogers EH&S Leadership Council implements defined environmental, health and safety management systems and processes globally across Rogers’ operations in the United States, Europe and Asia. These systems specify how we maintain procedures and provide associate training programs. They define the auditing, monitoring and review processes that drive continuing gains in performance. They guide our actions in reducing waste, actively preventing pollution through a variety of means, promoting energy conservation and continuous improvement.

Rogers’ EH&S program is dynamic and constantly evolving. Ecological thinking and considering choices that are green are integral parts of the Rogers Corporation culture.
