Our approach

We’re developing the technologies of tomorrow to support the everyday heroes that move the world forward. Sustainability is embedded across our business — from responsible operations and team member safety to the innovation behind our products — helping us drive meaningful progress for our customers, communities and the environment.

Powered by our people

When we take care of our team members and continue to put them first – by engaging and supporting them personally and professionally – we help them become their best selves at home and at work. We've seen firsthand that a People First culture makes us a stronger organization and we continue to develop that culture every day.

Purpose-built products

We make products that move the world forward. But the equipment is just one part of the equation. We never stop innovating to deliver products that complement the skills and vision of those who use them, giving users the courage, confidence and power to make a difference in the world around them.

Community impact

Oshkosh Corporation is an organization built to serve. Our purpose is to make a difference in people's lives. We are grateful to be a part of so many communities across the globe. And we are focused on helping our communities thrive.

Operating sustainably

We do the right thing. That means reducing our environmental footprint at a time that demands sustainable leadership. It also means operating with the highest ethical standards at all times. Everything we do is guided by our core values. Because, for us, this is more than just work.

Science-based targets

We're dedicated to taking bold action on climate change through our commitment to science-based targets. Our short-term goal is to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 57.7% and Scope 3 emissions by 32.5% by 2033. Looking ahead, we aim to reduce all Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2050, driving a sustainable future for generations to come.
