Sustainability

At Kimball Electronics, our commitment to Sustainability has been a part of who we are since our founding in 1961.  We are proud to be responsible guardians of our economic, environmental, and social resources so our Employees, Customers, Share Owners, Communities, and other value chain stakeholders truly benefit from the Company's presence, contributions, and actions.

 

Kimball Electronics champions transparency and accountability for itself. We know that through our activities and business relationships, we impact the economy, environment, and people and in turn make negative or positive contributions to sustainable development. We are committed to reporting on our significant sustainability impacts and how we are meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
