ENVIRONMENT
Bringing energy and the environment into harmony. We are focused on reducing the negative
impacts that our products, services, operations, and the energy industry we serve have on the
environment. Clients who use our technologies want to be responsible stewards of the world’s
limited resources while reducing their own environmental footprint. With regard to DRESSER-RAND
and its facilities, we realize that greater efficiency through OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE results in
both cost reductions and conservation.
