Climate change remains a critical challenge for our planet, and BEST is taking action! We're dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact and building a greener future for all. Here’s how we are leading the way:
Tracking and Offsetting Our Carbon Footprint: Partnering with Ostrom, a top Canadian carbon offset company, helps us monitor our environmental impact and identify areas to reduce emissions. Since 2007, we've offset 10,000 tons of CO2, equivalent to removing 2,175 cars from the road.
Smarter Shipping: By shipping 96% of our chemicals in a concentrated state and diluting them onsite, we've reduced over one million litres of diluted product shipments in the past five years, cutting over 90,000 kg of CO2e emissions.
Eco-Friendly Fleets: We prioritize fuel-efficient vehicles and incentivize our team members to choose them. This reduces our on-road carbon footprint and rewards eco-conscious choices.
Energy-Conscious Workspaces: We use Energy Star-rated appliances, lighting, and HVAC systems, along with responsible water practices.
This commitment has earned us the Carbon-Friendly designation from Ostrom, a recognition we have proudly upheld since 2007. This distinction motivates us to continuously improve and work closely with our partners and communities toward a greener future. Let's make it happen! 🌱
