Message from the Chairman

As a Total Fluid Management specialist and a leading innovator in filtration, separation and purification, Pall Corporation recognizes and embraces its role as a global citizen, including an obligation to the environment. Pall is dedicated to helping customers minimize their carbon footprints, maximize recycling and waste reduction efforts, and ensure the most efficient utilization of natural resources and raw materials. We are applying the same know-how and dedication to our own operations. The health and welfare of our customers, shareholders, employees and communities depend
on it.

Pall’s approach to environmental stewardship is proactive and is anchored in a culture of continuous improvement. We team with customers in ways specific to their industries, providing them with technologically superior products and engineered process solutions that improve and strengthen their businesses while reducing their environmental impacts. Customers worldwide look to us to help them purify and conserve water, consume less energy, make alternative energy sources possible, and minimize emissions and waste.

The same is true in our own business. We have adopted ambitious goals to continuously improve Pall’s environmental profile, both for the near- and the long-term. We are already well on our way toward achieving some key benchmarks — a 10% reduction in utility usage, a 10% reduction in waste output and 10% reduction in Pall’s carbon footprint by the end of 2010.

One of the ways Pall is working to integrate aggressive environmental sustainability metrics such as these into our business is by using globally accepted greenhouse gas protocols to measure and manage carbon emissions. We are also a partner in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders program, an industry-government partnership committed to developing long-term climate change strategies.

Committees at Pall facilities are set up to oversee on-site pro­grams to identify and implement strategies to accomplish our environmental goals. Best practices are benchmarked and shared.

Some of the steps we are taking to accomplish these environmental sustainability goals are discussed in the following pages. We encourage you to visit our Web site at www.pall.com/green for continuing updates on progress, as well as for information about other environmental initiatives.

Pall Corporation is committed to enabling a greener future. To our employees: please become more involved in supporting our efforts. To our customers: call on us to partner on environmental solutions to your fluid management challenges. We welcome your interest in our environmental activities and invite you to share the vision for a cleaner, healthier world.
