Milwaukee Landmarks g
mation has operated the
state's largest vegetated
green roof on one level, a
48,500-square-foot sec-
tion of the roof below the
clock tower.
The green roof is de-
signed to manage 1.3 mil-
lion gallons of storm water
annually, alleviating the
strain on the Milwaukee
Metropolitan Sewerage
District. The roof also re-
duces energy consump-
tion through its insulation
properties and absorption
of solar energy.

Report stresses that the
company's "mission to
make the world more
productive and sustain-
able" starts with its "own

ronmental management,
occupational health and
safety, corporate gov-
ernment and corporate
citizenship.

long-term sustainability
depends on our ability to
address the major trends
shaping society and the
global economy," says
Rockwell Chairman and
CEO Keith D. Nosbusch.
"This is our responsibility
as we pursue our mission
to improve the standard
of living for everyone by
making the
world more
productive
and sustain-
able."
