PLZ ESG REPORT 2021 RESULTS
SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
Carbon Footprint PLZ Corp is on a mission to optimize energy management practices with the goal of lowering our overall operational carbon footprint. We calculated our carbon footprint for the first time in 2021 and are tracking metrics around consumed energy, natural gas, and fuel. These metrics are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure we are on track to reach our exciting new commitment to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions related to energy consumption by 15% per unit of product produced by 2025. Our 2021 carbon footprint calculations are based solely on consumed energy, including electricity, natural gas, and mobile/vehicle fuel. The footprint includes the total consumed energy at all our sites. Counted in the GHG emission totals are propane usage for forklifts, diesel fuel used for fleet vehicles, stationary combustion from equipment and machinery, and electricity from fossil fuel and renewable sources provided by local utilities. As we do utilize a limited number of HFC propellants, which contribute to GHG emissions if released to the atmosphere, we have a near-term objective to evaluate and calculate HFC propellant loss contributing to our total GHG emissions.
PLZ Corp is committed to reducing GHG emissions from energy consumption by 15% per unit by 2025
