Government Affairs 

Timken’s success is interconnected with the world’s economic, social and environmental   well-being. To that end, we take seriously our responsibility to engage in the global conversation about public policy. Our focus is on effectively and efficiently creating opportunities and managing risks for our business units and corporate centers. We actively promote policies that support the manufacturing industry.

 

We communicate and advocate our position by building relationships with government officials, peer companies and business organizations in countries where Timken has a significant presence. We offer government affairs training for Timken executives and management personnel to build knowledge about the government process, and we work with government to achieve shared goals.

 

At Timken, we take a global approach to government affairs, monitoring the public policy, geopolitical and macroeconomic trends that affect our business in multiple geographies.  We also engage with government leaders in countries around the world to understand better how social, environmental and economic needs intersect with Timken’s capabilities and priorities.

Energy Supply

The growing need for energy and the associated impact of its use are among the world’s most pressing issues. In the U.S., Timken is actively working to inform government officials about alternative forms of energy, including wind power and fuel cells, while advocating for a balanced and diverse portfolio to support our energy needs. In China, Timken is proactively engaged in dialogues on energy challenges and opportunities with both U.S. and China public and private sectors, leveraging the U.S.-China Energy Cooperation Program (ECP) platform, as one of the signatory companies.

 

Environmental Public Policy

Timken is working with governments and the private sector to develop policies that ensure the availability and use of energy resources in an environmentally responsible manner. We are actively pursuing a reasonable environmental policy, with a fair and balanced global approach, that allows businesses to remain economically competitive.
