Our 2022 sustainability highlights

Crown Workspace has made huge progress against our sustainability strategy in 2022 and will have much more to update you on in the coming year.  In the meantime, we wanted to share just some of our highlights from 2022:

Awarded gold EcoVadis sustainability rating

We were delighted to be awarded a gold EcoVardis rating in our first ever assessment, achieving an overall score of 68% which put us in the top 2% in our category. Despite achieving an outstanding 70% in environment, labour and human rights, and ethics, and 50% in sustainable procurement, we are already looking at how we can improve on all four areas of our sustainability performance.

All client moves now carbon neutral

To complement our work to reduce our carbon emissions in line with our net zero target, Crown Workspace were also delighted to launch our carbon neutral relocation service in 2022. We are offsetting all carbon emissions from client moves through Gold Standard, with our carbon neutral claims made in line with carbon neutrality standard PAS 2060. We believe that these operationally carbon neutral moves will support our clients in reducing their Scope 3 emissions in the short term, until further carbon reductions can be made.

We are proud to say that we have already achieved a 29% reduction in 2022 through initiatives that included switching all internal and external lighting at our Manchester warehouse to LEDS with sensors, installing solar panels at our Leeds site, and introducing three electric vehicles into our fleet.

How to align records management to net-zero targets

Crown UK & Ireland is driving sustainable innovation across all our brands. In 2022, Crown Records Management published a white paper to identify how organisations could align records management to net zero targets.

The findings are fascinating!
