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.
