Building a Sustainable Future for Our People and Our Customers

4 Minutes

In today’s world, sustainability is no longer a choice—it’s a necessity. At Crescent, we recognize this and are committed to building a sustainable future for our people, our customers, and the planet. As demand for corporate sustainability intensifies, we’ve taken decisive action to not only meet but exceed expectations. Recently, we found ourselves at a critical juncture. Leading consumer goods companies, who prioritize environmental responsibility, expressed concerns about our lack of a clearly defined sustainability strategy. Understanding the importance of these partnerships, we embarked on a transformative journey with Antea Group, a recognized leader in sustainability consulting. In just 12 months, this collaboration has significantly strengthened our sustainability credentials, positioning Crescent as a forward-thinking partner ready to meet the evolving needs of our customers.

We’ve made significant strides in understanding and reducing our environmental impact. Our key actions include:

• Measuring and reporting on Scope 1, 2, and 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

• Disclosing emissions data on CDP and EcoVadis platforms.

• Establishing a baseline year and making Scope 1, 2, and 3 commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

• Assessing and understanding our Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) impacts and potential targets.

• Completing a state baseline assessment to understand Crescent’s current sustainability maturity.

• Developing a strategic action plan and decarbonization initiatives to meet our SBTi commitments.

Looking Ahead

Crescent replaces this complexity with clarity. Instead of managing hundreds of inbound supplier connections across multiple locations, Crescent serves as a single centralized hub for all supplier shipments. Parts arrive at our strategically managed facility, where we consolidate, store, and track your full inventory using a unified system. From there, Crescent fulfills and ships directly to your required destinations—whether that’s DCs, military bases, customer locations, or field operations.
