WESTLAKE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nordson Corporation (Nasdaq: NDSN) today announced the release of its Climate Targets and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Update. This update, which serves as a companion to the Company’s ESG Report published in November 2021, introduces important time-bound, climate-related targets consistent with achieving the 1.5-degree Celsius global warming scenario recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It also provides an overview of Nordson’s strategic plans to achieve these targets, key progress to date, and an update on certain ESG metrics.

Nordson’s climate-related targets include the following:
