Cookware supplier Meyer Corporation, U.S. announced its status as a Green Fleet Pioneer (GFP).
Recognized each April in tandem with Earth Day, Green Fleet Partners are California’s eMission Control partners who participate in California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program. Meyer Corporation reported its zero-emission battery-electric equipment has offset 82.1 metric tons of CO2 emissions in 2022 through its LCFS participation, which is equivalent to eliminating carbon emissions from driving 203,561.22 miles.
Christopher Banning, managing director, Meyer Corporation, U.S., said, “By utilizing electric lift trucks in our facilities, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also setting an example for other companies to follow. We believe our responsibility to contribute to a sustainable future, and transitioning to electric is a critical step towards achieving that goal.”
Todd Trauman, e-Mission Control CEO, added, “Electric transportation is the way of the future, and our Green Fleet Pioneers are agents of positive change.”
Since its launch in 2011, The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has implemented and administered the LCFS program. The program aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector, which accounts for 50% of GHG emissions and 80% of ozone-forming gas emissions in California. Additionally, the program seeks to diversify the fuel pool in California and increase renewable energy usage to achieve air quality benefits.
Meyer Corporation produces and markets cookware and kitchenware under such brands as Anolon, Circulon, Farberware, Meyer, Hestan, Ruffoni, KitchenAid, Rachael Ray, Ayesha Curry, BonJour and LocknLock.
