WINNER: ARPIN INTERNATIONAL GROUP A
rpin International Group was chosen by the judges in this important category for its strong focus on all aspects of ESG – environmental, social and governance – issues.
“Arpin International Group's ESG initiatives reflect
the firm’s culture, mission and values, demonstrating the company's efforts to provide distinctive, sustainable moving experiences for their customers, with choice on how to support global charities and causes, and to adopt environmentally responsible practices and standards,” noted the judges. “It is great to see a strong focus on corporate governance through the use of a purpose-built platform to track and report ESG data and performance.”
BUILDING RESILIENCE THROUGH SUSTAINABILITY As an international moving company, Arpin began its ESG journey in 2009 when it undertook a company-wide analysis of its sustainability credentials. In 2010, Arpin began its carbon footprint reduction plan, turning its headquarters into a carbon-neutral workplace and later installing a solar roof to reduce its carbon footprint. It put in place measures to drive fleet efficiency and implemented a waste reduction and recycling programme. In 2012, Arpin headquarters performed an energy assessment and as a result, converted all lighting to energy-saving LEDs. In 2017, Arpin Renewable Energy (ARE) helped establish the first municipal wind farm in Coventry, Rhode Island. ARE, a research and development company, explores and produces green alternatives applicable to the moving industry. By integrating ESG considerations into Arpin’s decision-making processes, president Peter Arpin aims to create long-term value for the company’s stakeholders, while also contributing to a more sustainable and resilient world and future for everybody. “Peter is a real environmentalist and has woven this
culture throughout our company,” explained Karen Bannon, director of marketing and ESG at Arpin. “He has really driven this agenda forward and made it a priority. I really believe that is what more businesses need to do. They need to understand that we can't regulate our way to a cleaner, brighter future. We have to have that passion and a desire to balance the economic expansion with job growth and our capital properly and appropriately.”
