Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) Factors in Customer Supply Chain Sustainability

ABSTRACT

Time Manufacturing Company, through its Versalift brand, manufactures industry leading Vehicle-Mounted Aerial Lifts (VMALs) that support essential businesses such as Electric utility, Telecommunications, Forestry, Sign, Light & Traffic, Construction, and Wind Turbine Blade Maintenance in the private and public sectors. These companies, many of which are investor-owned, are beginning to use universally-accepted risk assessment criteria to help make informed buying decisions that address the desires of their shareholders.  

The following paper will explore best practices in sustainability, and discuss the criteria used to assess the sustainability of the company as measured by the MSCI (formerly Morgan Stanley Capital International) ESG (environmental, social, and governance) factors. MSCI publishes ratings that are used to evaluate publicly-traded companies, indexes, funds, ETFs and fixed income securities in the United States.  

It is our strong belief that over the next few years the sustainability criteria discussed within will play a more influential role in the selection of aerial lifts, digger derricks, work truck bodies, and other equipment that meet these criteria as governed by the stakeholders in which they serve.

Versalift distributors are well positioned to answer questions about the sustainability of the Versalift brand, and of Time Manufacturing Company commitment to sustainability. This paper serves to educate our partners on this important subject.
