Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Rexnord Corporation's ethical standing is mixed. The company has faced scrutiny over a 528:1 CEO pay ratio in 2024 and past OSHA proposed fines of $120,000 for serious safety violations, with a history of such issues. Employee compensation reviews are reportedly below industry averages. While Rexnord reduced Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 15.5% in 2023 and its Zurn Water Solutions saved 34 billion gallons of water in 2021, it also faced a $117,000 environmental fine in 2020. Reports suggest a data breach in September 2023 compromised consumer information. The company implements extensive cybersecurity training and safeguards.
