A Message from Board Chair James S. Turley: A Pivotal Year

2023 was a pivotal year for Emerson, and in the midst of continued global macroeconomic uncertainty, Emerson advanced its transformation and delivered on our strategy, including the sustainability initiatives highlighted in this report.  

Our Board takes its role as stewards of Emerson’s sustainability goals seriously and continues to oversee the management team in their efforts to further Emerson’s sustainability programs. I am proud of the work Emerson’s management team has accomplished, driving significant progress on their commitments.  

Emerson, with its transformed portfolio, people and technology, is well positioned to benefit from powerful secular trends including sustainability and decarbonization and support customers in their energy transition.  

The Board remains committed to ongoing refreshment to ensure we continue to have the right mix of skills, diversity, background and tenure, including an oversee our sustainability efforts. We have added seven new Directors over the past five years with a Board that will be composed of 50% women or people of color and a broader set of industry knowledge and expertise.  

We recently appointed Calvin Butler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Exelon, to our Board, effective August 1, 2024. In addition to business transformation experience, he brings significant expertise in reliable, clean, and affordable energy solutions that will advance our leadership position in energy transition markets.  

We look forward to helping guide the management team to lead our company and help our customers move towards a brighter and more sustainable future.
