What is the General Electric Company?
General Electric Company is a North American multinational conglomerate of diverse businesses that has been in operations for more than 125 years. The company was formed through a series of large investments in the Edison Electric Light Company, the corporation responsible for the invention and commercialisation of the lightbulb and was one of the original 12 constituents of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in 1896. It also holds the record for the longest continuous membership of the industrial index remaining on the list of 30 companies from 1997 through to 2018 when it was removed due to falling revenues, at one point losing 55% of its value in one year.
The present-day company has vast businesses operating primarily in power generation, renewable energy, aviation, and healthcare. It is also a leader in developing technological solutions in additive manufacturing, materials science, and data analytics. General Electric is strategising that its considerable market penetration in traditional energy production will give it an advantage in the renewables sphere as the world’s major economies aim to reduce greenhouse gas production. GE has also taken major strides to improve its reputation when it comes to environmental responsibility after being the subject of multiple investigations relating to pollution from its factories or operations.
