Score breakdown

Resource efficiency

92

Construction equipment is materials-heavy and long-lived; Caterpillar’s 2025 report surface makes it easier to audit how the company thinks about circularity, rebuild/remanufacture pathways, and lifecycle value.

Impact on environment

93

Disclosure quality is strong enough to anchor climate, energy, and operational footprint signals without relying on product-only claims.

Social responsibility

90

Reporting provides a usable baseline on workforce safety and value-chain responsibilities, although upstream supply complexity remains inherent to heavy manufacturing.

Economic benefits

94

Scale and service economics improve the odds that sustainability programs stay funded through cycles, especially when tied to productivity and lifecycle-cost outcomes.
