The Shyft Group has published its 2023 sustainability report, Charging Towards a Sustainable Future, highlighting the company’s sustainability activities, performance and results from calendar year 2022.
The Shyft Group said it advances sustainability through three key dimensions: environmental stewardship, social responsibility and governance excellence. These pillars are integral to the company’s long-term growth strategy and value creation for stakeholders, the company said. This year’s report includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Shyft will look to this information as a baseline for future emissions assessment and to guide reduction strategies.
“In collaboration with our Board of Directors, the dedicated team spearheading our sustainability efforts, and each individual within the Shyft community, we are forging ahead with a unified purpose and unwavering commitment,” said Josh Sherbin, chief legal and compliance officer. “Our accomplishments in 2022 reflect our continued commitment to a future that’s brighter and more sustainable for all.”
