QUALITY & SAFETY

"From concept to production, every day I see Gates engineers researching ways to improve the sustainable nature of our products. They are eliminating environmentally harmful chemicals from the product composition, and they are exploring novel approaches to design and processing to minimize energy consumption in our factories. Luckily, their focus doesn’t stop at the walls of our factories! Engineers are also increasing product safety and quality to extend the customer use phase of our product’s lifecycles."

MATERIAL SOURCING

EXCEEDING INDUSTRY STANDARDS

Gates continually evaluates the use of alternative materials and supply chains to enhance product design, and strengthen product and business resilience through innovation. Our global materials database tracks the use of chemicals across all operations. It allows us to identify the use of specific materials of concern and make substitutions wherever feasible. Since 2017, chemical management has helped us to use more sustainable materials in our products and operations.

PRODUCT LIFECYCLE
