The 2016 edition of the report is updated to reflect the latest data and details compiled with input from Crossville’s stakehold- ers as gleaned through a formal survey and follow-up discussions conducted by Nashville-based WAP Sustainability Consulting, the third party consulting firm. It meets the requirements of LEED V.4 MRc3 Credit. “Being green is part of our corporate DNA – and so is being transparent about our responsible manufacturing processes. It’s fitting that we’re releas- ing the latest version of our corpo- rate Sustainability Report as part of our 30th anniversary year,” explained Lindsey Waldrep, vice president of Marketing for Crossville. “The infor- mation in this comprehensive report substantiates the measurable value and positive impact of our environ- mental practices.” The report’s sections are organized to spotlight Crossville’s sustainable accomplishments in product design, waste management, operations, and energy consumption.
