2012 Company Sustainability Report

Mercury Marine’s Sustainability Policy

We are committed to meeting our fiscal responsibilities while developing and manufacturing products in a manner that is safe, environmentally responsible, protective of the earth’s natural resources and fosters improvements in the quality of life for all stakeholders.

Mercury Marine is the world’s largest manufacturer of marine engines – products that allow people throughout the world to play and work on the water. Respected as an industry leader in the development of engine technology and manufacturing processes, Mercury Marine set the pace and established new standards as the marine industry moved forward with contemporary low-emissions outboard, inboard and sterndrive marine propulsion systems.

Although sustainable actions have long been integral components of our business practices, in 2011 Mercury organized these activities under companywide policies to ensure measurement and achievement. We also are committed to creating a culture of sustainability throughout the company. This report outlines those efforts and states sustainability goals for the future.
