CR3 is committed to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to deliver a fair, safe and sustainable future. We acknowledge that serious, urgent, and immediate action is needed to combat climate change, and we will take responsibility for doing our share. We pledge our support to contribute towards a circular economy, supporting global initiatives to minimise the effects of global warming.
With this in mind, we will reduce our emissions as soon as practicable, using best available technology that is economically viable, and endeavour to achieve net zero emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from our operations by 2050 at the latest.
We aim to do this by proactively exploring a number of initiatives, including, but not limited to, using renewable energy to power our offices and workshops, transitioning to cleaner fuels for our machines, continuing to invest in the most energy-efficient equipment, and incorporating digital solutions to streamline our business operations and reduce the need for travel.
Our Innovation Program, coupled with the support of our growing network of technical partners, will enhance our ability to develop suitable technologies and processes to achieve this transition to net zero emissions at the pace required. If necessary, we will explore ways to reduce our carbon footprint at a faster rate through reforestation efforts and other natural carbon sinks.
CR3 Group is committed to sustainable procurement by partnering with suppliers who share our values and operate responsibly. We prioritise products and services that are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, recyclable, and ethically sourced. All suppliers must comply with legal standards, prohibit child and forced labour, and ensure safe, fair, and inclusive working conditions.
Procurement decisions consider not only cost and quality but also lifecycle environmental impact, ethical conduct, and community benefits. We promote transparency, fairness, and anti-corruption, and expect suppliers to follow our Code of Conduct, demonstrate continuous improvement in sustainability performance and participate in audits to ensure accountability.
We will develop realistic emission targets and report progress against these each year at the same time as our audited financial accounts. We commit to providing our staff with the necessary training to cope with and adapt to the challenges ahead and be able to seize upon the opportunities that this transition will present.
