NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 19, 2023 / 3BL Alerts
Crowley has released its second annual sustainability report, which details progress toward its sustainability goals in 2022 and previews continued efforts for 2023 and beyond. The report demonstrates how Crowley has accelerated the integration of sustainability throughout its business, which includes advancing its decarbonization strategy, evolving Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) goals and establishing new and enhanced business growth and priorities, among other accomplishments.
"We have been able to advance, and even exceed, some of the goals laid out in our inaugural report," said Tom Crowley, chairman and CEO. "This year was about our people, listening to feedback and taking action to continue to build a strong company culture. The progress we made in just one year speaks to our employees' dedication and vision, which aligns with the importance of these issues to our business, customers and other partners."
Additional Report Highlights
Environment and Climate
- Published short-term emissions reduction goals and initial results toward its long-term goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
- Established Crowley Wind Services, a new business unit that supports offshore wind development. Crowley already has plans for offshore wind development in Salem, Massachusetts, and Humboldt Bay, California, and is building a service operations vessel for the wind industry.
- Received a $14.6 million grant to electrify its terminal at JAXPORT and reduce emissions.

People and Communities
- Formalized its DE&I plan, including representation strategy and goals for women, LGBTQ+ and Black employees.
