The report underscores the organisation's dedication to three core pillars: corporate environmental stewardship, sustainable manufacturing excellence, and collaboration with both channel partners and customers. Crestron is integrating sustainability into its operations, aligning these initiatives with its long-term business objectives while also addressing global environmental issues.
Dan Feldstein, CEO at Crestron, stated, “We are committed to our sustainable business practices, and this report reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability and our dedication to creating a positive impact on the world around us.” In his remarks, he highlighted progress in significant areas such as reducing the company's carbon footprint, promoting responsible sourcing, and innovating in sustainable technology. Feldstein acknowledged the achievements to date but emphasised that “sustainability is a journey of continuous improvement and [the company] look[s] forward to even further progress.”
The report not only highlights Crestron's commitment to social responsibility but also reflects upon its longstanding initiatives. The Crestron Eagles Program, which was established to support veterans, is a cornerstone of the company’s community engagement. Other outreach efforts include partnerships with the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital and the Girl Scouts of America. Additionally, Crestron fosters new talent through an internship and co-op programme designed for young professionals looking to develop their careers in the industry.
Environmental initiatives at Crestron are also a central focus. The company has adopted various programs aimed at reducing waste, such as e-waste data collection and recycling practices, accompanied by training on waste management. In the realm of manufacturing, Crestron has set rigorous standards for ethical sourcing, conducting supplier assessments to ensure compliance. The organisation's Supplier Code of Conduct articulates the expectations for sustainable practices that must be followed by its suppliers.
Crestron’s product design strategy aims at enhancing energy efficiency through automation, thereby adhering to energy code standards and supporting conservation goals. The use of intelligent lighting and environmental systems facilitates capabilities such as daylight harvesting and occupancy-based adjustments to optimise energy consumption. Furthermore, Crestron maintains high-quality product standards that extend product life cycles, reflecting its commitment to sustainability.
