2023 Letter From Our CEO
We are proud to share our 2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Supplement Report. Since 2014, Barnes has published an annual ESG report to communicate our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility and to highlight our efforts and achievements with our stakeholders.
2023 was a pivotal year for transformation and strategic growth.
We remain committed to unlocking Barnes' full potential by accelerating our Growth Vectors of Core Business Execution, Scale Barnes Aerospace, and Integrate, Consolidate & Rationalize Industrial. We continued to work together to drive enterprise value by delivering against Core Business Execution and generating Top Line, Bottom Line, and Pipeline growth in our businesses.
A substantial leap in our Scale Barnes Aerospace Growth Vector, our strategic acquisition of MB Aerospace added 10 locations to our global footprint. Furthering our Integrate, Consolidate, and Rationalize Industrial Growth Vector, Barnes also executed a number of significant business transformation initiatives, including closing and consolidating sales and operating locations across the globe. We expect to realize the benefits of many of these activities in 2024 and beyond.
While we are excited about Barnes' business transformation efforts, we remain firm in our commitments to global standards, such as the United Nations Global Compact's guiding principles, and provide transparency through our reporting according to relevant disclosures from the Global Reporting Initiative, the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, and the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures.
I would like to recognize our associates around the globe whose continuing commitment to Barnes drives our innovation and success.
Thomas J. Hook
President and Chief Executive Officer
