How we’re already working to reduce environmental impact
As Crown Worldwide Group embarks on a joined-up journey to net-zero, branches across the Crown portfolio are empowered to work on initiatives that enhance, protect and reduce their impact on the environment.
As such, leaders in each region are giving careful consideration to the carbon footprint in their location, looking at the emissions created by our operations and how to reduce them – from integrating hybrid and electric vehicles, to operating out of energy efficient buildings.
33 Crown sites have ISO 14001 certification
We are proud that 33 of our sites across the world are ISO 14001 certified, demonstrating commitment to environmental management and sustainability. This certification means our environmental management systems have been independently audited and meet the rigorous requirements of the ISO 14001 standard.
Here, we spotlight some of the work that took place across Crown Worldwide Group in 2022:
Gold for Crown UK & Ireland
In the UK and Ireland (UK&I), Crown’s branches achieved the prestigious gold EcoVadis rating in 2022, with an impressive overall score of 68 per cent, placing them in the top two per cent of companies in the freight transport by road industry.
The UK&I team has committed to ambitious net zero targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040, with interim targets of a 45 per cent reduction by 2025 and a 65 per cent reduction by 2030.
Steps towards those targets were taken throughout 2022, with solar panels at four sites and 100 per cent renewable electricity at 12 sites, contributing to a 38 per cent reduction in CO2
e emissions since 2019.
By prioritizing a transition to renewable electricity tariffs at 75 per cent of UK&I sites and implementing electricity consumption reduction measures, Crown UK&I has successfully achieved a significant 52 per cent reduction in Scope 2 emissions since 2019.
