Finning Releases 2021 Sustainability Report
28 März 2022 - 11:05PM
Finning International Inc. (TSX: FTT) ("Finning," the "Company,"
"we," "us" or "our") announced today the release of our 2021
Sustainability Report detailing our progress in people, safety,
environment, product stewardship, communities, ethics, and
governance.
"Our goal has always been to build and power a
better world while caring for our people, communities and
environment. We celebrate our employees' progress towards achieving
the milestones set out on our sustainability roadmap," said Scott
Thomson, president and CEO of Finning.
We are ahead of schedule on our carbon reduction
commitments. We reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 6% from
2020, including 4Refuel, despite significantly higher activity
levels in 2021, which brings our GHG emissions down 28% from our
2017 baseline. In addition, to increase our commitment to
sustainable operations, we expanded our mandate and raised our
absolute GHG emissions reduction target from 20% to 40% from our
2017 baseline by 2027, including 4Refuel.
Key highlights from our 2021 Sustainability
Report
- Reduced total
injury frequency by 12% globally from 2020
- Recycled 5,545
tonnes of non-hazardous and 2,562 tonnes of hazardous waste
- Increased the
number of components remanufactured at our OEM facility by 13% from
2020
- Offered new low
carbon products, including an underground load haul dump truck that
delivers zero exhaust emissions and an electric dozer providing 25%
better fuel efficiency
- Provided
customers using our CUBIQ™ Dealer Services platform with
capabilities to monitor carbon emissions through the sustainability
dashboard
- Engaged more
than 160,000 youth through STEM partnerships
- Acquired a
majority ownership interest in ComTech Energy through our
subsidiary 4Refuel to expand our fueling capabilities beyond diesel
and offer turn-key solutions for compressed natural gas (CNG),
renewable natural gas (RNG) and hydrogen
"Through partnerships, collaboration and
training, we will continue to create value and opportunities to
discover, strengthen and establish ways towards a sustainable
culture of accountability, trust and ability to affect change,"
added Thomson.

Sustainability Roadmap, an external assurance report, and a Global
Reporting Initiative (GRI) supplemental information package, which

approach. These documents are available on
