Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)

C1’s Commitment to Sustainability

  • C1 has a longstanding commitment to sustainability and ethical business practices. In 2020, we established an Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Council and began establishing goals across:

    •  Labor & Human Rights
    •  Ethics
    •  Environment (Environmental Policy)
    •  Procurement (Sustainable Procurement Policy)

 

We continue to identify areas of opportunity, establish measures for each area, and follow sustainable operating protocols for continued improvement. For 2023, our goals include decreasing our physical footprint by 11.9% (57,000 square feet) and decreasing our carbon footprint by 10%.
