Eaton is an intelligent power management company dedicated to protecting the environment and improving the quality of life for people everywhere. The company makes products for the data center, utility, industrial, commercial, machine building, residential, aerospace, and mobility markets. Officials say they are guided by a commitment to do business right, to operate sustainably, and to help their customers manage power today and well into the future.

By capitalizing on the global growth trends of electrification and digitalization, the company is helping to solve the world’s most urgent power management challenges and build a more sustainable society. In early January, for example, Eaton announced that it had been ranked as one of Resilinc’s Top 30 Most Resilient Suppliers in the high-tech industry. This award, from a leading supply chain risk management solution firm, recognizes companies that demonstrate strong supply chain risk management and resiliency practices.

“It is an honor to be recognized for our leadership in supply chain resilience,” says Chris Pinnegar, Vice President of Global Supplier Performance. “To be recognized for the fourth year in a row underscores our continued commitment and focus on minimizing risk and disruption across our supply-chain ecosystem. We look forward to building on this recognition and achievement as we continue to invest in our supply chain resiliency.”

The rating was calculated using Resilinc’s R Score. The R Score is a risk-scoring system that assesses and measures a company’s supply chain resiliency based on specific metrics. These key metrics include performance, network resilience, transparency, continuity of supply, and risk program maturity. Eaton scored well based on its high level of transparency and high continuity score, which indicates a company’s ability to recover from disruptions. Additionally, the company scored high in terms of its maturity level because of its well-established risk management practices.

“Eaton demonstrated exceptional supply chain resilience and risk-management capabilities, ranking among the most resilient suppliers in the industry,” according to Rick Freeman, Senior Director of Expert Services at Resilinc. “Their R Score reflects the capability to respond decisively to disruption, maintain continuity of supply, and partner closely with customers to deliver supply-chain intelligence.”

Last November, Eaton officials announced the company had been named the number one most sustainable company on Investor’s Business Daily’s prestigious list of the 50 Most Sustainable Companies for 2025. The 50 stocks on IBD’s list highlight companies that pair strong climate management scores from Morningstar Sustainalytics with top-tier technical and fundamental ratings from IBD, positioning them as attractive choices for investors focused on the climate transition.

“This recognition underscores Eaton’s commitment to leveraging sustainability into a powerful engine for growth and innovation,” according to Harold Jones, Chief Sustainability Officer and Executive Vice President of Eaton Business System. “Sustainability isn’t just the right thing to do; it’s a smart business decision that allows us to deliver long-term value for all our stakeholders.”

Last year Eaton reported a variety of milestones in sustainability. They included a 35% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions since 2018, having 83% of its manufacturing sites certified as zero waste to landfill, and since 2020 investing $1.7 billion in research and development aligned with Eaton’s Positive Impact Framework to solve the most pressing power management challenges for its customers. The company also recently updated its long-term targets, with a new commitment to become net zero in its operations by 2050.

Eaton was founded in 1911, and became a Hacienda tenant in May 2012. Officials say it has continuously evolved to meet the changing and expanding needs of its stakeholders. The company serves customers in more than 160 countries, and had revenues of nearly $25 billion in 2024.
