The Timken Company published its corporate social responsibility (CSR) report, highlighting advances in environmental sustainability, social impact and product innovation in August 2025. The report details Timken's progress toward its target to reduce aggregate Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 50 percent by 2030. From its 2018 baseline year through the end of 2024, Timken decreased emissions intensity by about 42 percent, demonstrating the company's dedication to climate action and responsible operations. Other report highlights include: Doubling capital investment in energy efficiency projects from 2023 to 2024 and achieving a 15-fold increase in renewable energy use since 2018, reinforcing Timken's company-wide effort to identify and share best practices for saving energy and reducing emissions. Diverting 88 percent of waste from landfills in 2024 and reducing total annual waste generation by 40 percent since 2018, reflecting sustainable resource management principles that are embraced throughout the organization. Expanding global employee development and well-being programs while demonstrating Timken's focus on empowerment and inclusion, as reflected in a 91 percent participation rate from salaried staff in our employee engagement survey.

Investing in next-generation STEM education. In 2024, Timken invested $1.25 million in global STEM programming and expanded partnerships with organizations including FIRST and the Girl Scouts, reaching thousands of students worldwide. Delivering innovative, sustainable products — like EnviroSpexx bearings for energy savings and advanced solutions for vertical farming, precision agriculture and medical robots — that help customers reduce energy use, cut waste and improve performance in demanding applications. EnviroSpexx tapered and spherical bearings are designed with enhanced geometries that reduce torque, lowering the amount of electricity needed to operate pumps, compressors, motors, gearboxes, and other continuously running industrial equipment.

In a recent study on light industrial gearboxes, Timken EnviroSpexx roller bearings reduced torque by 10 percent per gearbox compared to standard bearings. Over five years of operation, this torque reduction could save $5,000 in energy costs and reduce carbon emissions by 25,000 pounds per gearbox. Similar results were calculated for compressors and pumps.

Timken EnviroSpexx roller bearings provide sustainable solutions to help original equipment manufacturers and end users reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
