Additionally, the Company progressed on key sustainability targets.

That means doing our part to build a more sustainable future through supporting our team members, our communities and developing innovative solutions,” said Kevin Tubbs, Oshkosh Corporation Vice President, Chief Ethics, Compliance and Sustainability Officer. “From launching electric products, to donating our time and talent to the communities where we live and work, to reducing our energy usage - we know we are better together and remain steadfast in our commitment to drive sustainability forward.”

- Reducing normalized greenhouse gas emissions by 21.4% since 2014.
