  3. Environmental, Social and Governance Impact

For more than 70 years, finding a better way has inspired the way Vermeer does business. Our 4P philosophy (principles, people, product, profit) has set the foundation for how we treat others and the world around us. For the last 25 years, we’ve also been guided by a spirit of continuous improvement that has extended through every part of our operations.

Combining our 4P foundation with our continuous improvement spirit, we strive to make purposeful impacts in environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas as we build, distribute and support Vermeer equipment doing important work around the world. Taking care of others and the world around us is at the core of our 4P philosophy and has built the culture and brand we are today. As we work with our customers who are equipped with Vermeer machines to help connect people to life’s necessities, manage natural resources and feed and fuel our communities, we are committed to finding a better way to care for our environment, our people and our business around the world.

Vermeer designs and manufactures yellow iron that helps our customers do essential work we all depend on, while helping to manage the impact on our precious natural resources and the environment we all need and enjoy for a life well lived. The way we design, build and distribute our equipment is guided by a collective mindset of continuous improvement while also reducing wasted time and materials. From our suppliers and our factories to our dealers and our customers, we work together, and improve together, in three important ways:
  • Improving market methods
  • Improving equipment design
  • Improving manufacturing process
