Corporate Sustainability
At Crown Prince, we practice what we preach and lead by example to our suppliers and seafood customers alike. In 2010, Crown Prince established a Green Team to identify and implement specific projects and goals to help the company manage and reduce its environmental impact. Crown Prince's sustainability work plan includes tracking and managing corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, waste, and recycling.
We are proud of our sustainability initiatives.

Crown Prince has reduced its carbon footprint!
After establishing the company's baseline emissions in 2009, we set a publically available target to reduce emissions from electricity usage by 20% through 2011. We're pleased to have met this goal through the combination of company-wide behavioral changes that have led to efficiencies and support of grid sourced renewable energy. Crown Prince also measures Scope 3 emissions (such as business travel, employee commuting, shipping and more), which go above and beyond the mandatory reporting standards. A greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory is a comprehensive accounting of all greenhouse gas emissions arising from the operational activities of an organization over a given period. It is one of the most valuable tools available to organizations looking to understand and reduce their carbon footprint. Crown Prince follows internationally accepted protocols in designing and calculating GHG inventories. |
Crown Prince supports renewable energy!
Crown Prince supports offsets through the purchase of verified emissions reductions (VERs) and renewable energy credits (RECs) from Renewable Choice. Crown Prince's purchases of RECs (view REC certificate) and VERs (view VER certificate) have a collective impact that is similar to:
 Planting 485 tree seedlings and growing them for ten years, or
 Avoiding the carbon emissions from 43,481 vehicle miles

Carbon Disclosure Project
Since 2010, Crown Prince has reported the results of our sustainability efforts to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The CDP is an independent, not-for-profit, London- based organization working to drive GHG emissions reductions by businesses and cities. The CDP was established in 2000 and contains the largest database of corporate climate change information in the world. Crown Prince's latest submission in 2011 was awarded a Disclosure Score of 79, which is considered a high score and is 55% higher than the Supply Chain Program average.
