Direct Impact
Investing and innovating for a better world.
We’re proud that many Fortive products and services support sustainability directly by powering clean energy and critical infrastructure, reducing water and waste, and ensuring safe, sterile healthcare environments.
Advanced technologies help hospitals, healthcare facilities, and laboratories meet critical safety and quality of care standards. For example, Censis’ CensiTrac® software tailors the instrument tray list for procedures and tracks instrument usage to identify unused instruments, reducing the cost, energy, and water use needed for sterilization.
Connected workflows, and powerful analytics drive energy efficiency and ensure safe conditions. For example, the Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager pinpoints compressed air, gas, and vacuum leaks, helping customers reduce their GHG emissions and utility bills.
