CCT’s SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES

CCT continuously engages its suppliers to ensure the sourcing of “greener” materials. The origin and manufacturability of these products are key criteria that we use to select and work with suppliers. Along with this we are taking various initiatives in our facilities to implement greener initiatives.

CCT uses multiple tools to better understand the sustainability of present and future products. First, a scoring system developed internally aids in preliminary material choice to align with CCT’s sustainability goals. Second, an LCA screening tool allows the comparison of multiple products in terms of their respective environmental impacts.

Eco-Calculator: CCT has invested in growing its digital capabilities with the purpose of sharing more information with its customers to help them make intelligent decisions and monitor the performance of their sustainability initiatives. To this effect, CCT is offering an “Eco-Calculator” to demonstrate the landfill waste avoidance that a customer could achieve while using one of CCT’s single use sustainable or reusable shipping solutions.

Insights to help objectively optimize choices: Beyond the calculator, CCT will be leveraging a lot of data gathered from shipping its solutions globally to work with its customers to select or modify solutions that can help achieve the right balance between performance, cost, and sustainability.

To ensure meaningful progress on these initiatives and embedding it in the DNA of the company, CCT has implemented the following initiatives:

1. 1. Developed content to train and educate CCT team members on Sustainability 101 in 2021.  Foundations of Sustainability training happened in summer of 2022 with various refreshers post that.
2. 2. Established a sustainability committee which meets bi-weekly, that includes members of the executive team, to oversee company-wide initiatives.
3. 3. Hired and engaged a highly respected ESG consulting organization to help CCT establish goals and create a roadmap for progress on this initiative.
4. 4. Participate in the EcoVadis evidence-based assessment on an annual basis.
5. 5. CCT is a member of the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, the leading voice on sustainable packaging.  They bring businesses, educational institutions, and government agencies together to advance the business case for more sustainable packaging.
6. 6. Engage CCT teams on important sustainability dates like Earth Day, World Environment Day, and others to make time and show their support.

Additionally, the company is working with customers to create case studies and measure impact by using CCT’s solutions, to help achieve their sustainability goals.

Waste Reduction: CCT set a goal to reduce 100M pounds of landfill waste by 2025.

Water Savings: An independent, client-led study showed that CCT TRUEtemp® Naturals curbside recyclable shippers reduce water use by 91%. CCT is also working on other initiatives to reduce the use of water in its manufacturing processes.

Carbon Neutrality: Most pharmaceutical companies have aggressive carbon neutrality goals; CCT’s reusable and single-use sustainable shippers assist companies by reducing overall environmental impact by 80%. Additionally, CCT’s own ESG goals include carbon neutrality through its own operations.
