NORWELL, Mass., August 21, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE: CLH), the leading provider of environmental and industrial services across North America, today released its 2024 Sustainability Report, which includes the latest environmental, social and governance data. In 2023, Clean Harbors avoided more than double the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the Company’s operations.
“We are proud of the measurable and positive impact our company has on the environment every day,” said Eric Gerstenberg, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “Environmental stewardship is the foundation of our business. In 2023, we avoided more than 3.5 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions through our recycling programs and the safe destruction of ozone-depleting chemicals at our facilities. Our Field Services business responded to nearly 14,000 emergency events last year that released hazardous substances into the environment.”
The 2024 report, available at www.cleanharbors.com/about-us/sustainability, highlights the range of sustainable solutions Clean Harbors offers to its clients as well as its own sustainability programs and initiatives. The report focuses on the company’s dual focus: mitigating its own resource use (ecological footprint) as well as providing a mechanism for its clients to minimize their impacts and achieve their sustainability goals (ecological handprint).
“Clean Harbors is not only committed to protecting the environment through our own sustainable business practices, but also provides our customers with the solutions they need to minimize their environmental impact,” said Mike Battles, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “The environmentally friendly solutions we provide enable our customers to improve their own sustainable footprint and join our mission to protect the environment not only in the communities we serve, but across North America.”
