How We Innovate

At the heart of innovation at Gore is our distinct culture and passion for using our materials science expertise and technical capabilities to solve our customers’ most complex challenges.

Our founders designed our workplace to be as innovative as the products we create. They believed ingenuity and creativity are inherent in everyone and set out to create an environment that harnesses the power of all to innovate.

Associates are encouraged to seek new opportunities and collaborate directly with the right people to get the job done. Our innovation process leans on our deep relationships both inside and outside of our enterprise.

Meaningful Work

We deliver products that improve life.

Associates in a wide array of commitments (roles) provide business and technical support across the enterprise. Creating best-in-class products that always do what we say they will do allow us to help people like Kathryn Dunning.

Sustainability: Our Approach

We uphold our legacy of integrity through trusted relationships, sound business practices, environmental stewardship and core principles that drive our decision making and a deep sense of responsibility to our customers, suppliers and each other.

Our focus on sustainability is an expression of our promise — Together, improving life — and our long-established principles and commitment to Associates, customers and communities.

As a company and as individuals, we strive to achieve a positive economic and societal impact while being environmentally and socially responsible.

We use our materials science expertise to create products that improve the quality of life and address sustainability challenges for generations to come. We believe that one of the greatest contributions we can make to sustainability is through innovations that have a positive impact on human health as well as the planet.
