To promote transparency and accuracy, Crane hired an independent third-party environmental consulting firm to perform an internal review of the company's carbon emissions for 2023 and establish a baseline. Based on the findings, Crane sets measurable objectives:
- p paraeid="{fedf15a5-621e-4a83-a3e2-757ae86acddc}{191}" paraid="756772492">50% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030
- p paraeid="{fedf15a5-621e-4a83-a3e2-757ae86acddc}{201}" paraid="579525711">50% solid waste diversion by 2035
- p paraeid="{fedf15a5-621e-4a83-a3e2-757ae86acddc}{207}" paraid="624809478">Net-zero emissions from operations by 2040
To achieve these objectives, we’re assessing different initiatives, from reducing energy consumption at warehouses through the implementation of energy efficiency measures to the use of renewable energy technologies to power some of our facilities. We’re also looking at how AI can help optimize transportation modes and routes to reduce carbon emissions from the shipping of goods, as well as partnering with our clients to drive sustainability improvements in their supply chains.
Crane is offering its customers the option to offset their carbon emissions from air freight through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and will continue to provide easy ways to purchase emission reduction solutions on our platform. We’ll subsidize and financially contribute to companies that choose to purchase renewable energy credits through Crane in support of reducing their Scope 3 emissions.
As we innovate and invest in clean logistics solutions, we continually identify new opportunities for energy efficiency and emissions reductions. Together, we can move the world forward—responsibly.
