Lineage Showcases Commitment to Environmental Stewardship and Corporate Citizenship in Inaugural Sustainability Report
Lineage Logistics ("Lineage" or "the Company"), one of the leading temperature-controlled industrial REITs and integrated solutions providers worldwide, today released its inaugural Sustainability Report, detailing its ambitious efforts toward building a more sustainable, inclusive and ethical future.
The theme for the 2022 Lineage Sustainability report is "Built for This" ? meaning Lineage has not only built a cleaner, more efficient cold chain, but is also built for resilience to navigate future challenges facing the industry and world.
"We are thrilled to launch our first Sustainability Report, which not only demonstrates our efforts to bring the cold chain and industry forward on matters related to climate, inclusion and governance, but also proves our commitment to hold ourselves accountable as we articulate our long-term goals and plot the next era of our company's history," said Greg Lehmkuhl, President and CEO of Lineage. "As evidenced in the report, Lineage has a proven track-record of building a culture of innovation, purpose and excellence. Looking back on this collective success, we're eager to maintain our momentum to tackle challenges ahead for our business, our communities and our planet."
Lineage has worked to strategically integrate its purpose to transform the global food supply chain to eliminate food waste by stewarding the environment, championing diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), and driving industry-leading innovation in the cold chain.
Notable achievements and priorities in the 2022 Report include:
