AUSTIN, Texas, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Storable, the leading technology provider for the self-storage, marine, and RV industries, has today released its latest Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, spotlighting the company's significant strides in environmental sustainability, social impact, and corporate governance.
The report highlights Storable's ongoing efforts to foster positive change in its community and beyond, and showcases the company's key achievements including a remarkable reduction in carbon emissions, robust community support through charitable giving and volunteering, and the advancement of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) within the organization.
Environmental Sustainability: Reducing Carbon Footprint and Promoting Reforestation
At the heart of Storable's environmental sustainability efforts is its commitment to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit. In 2023, Storable achieved a 50% reduction in overall carbon emissions from its 2021 baseline, putting it on pace to far surpass its 2030 target.
Moreover, Storable's reforestation project, in collaboration with Evertreen, contributed to global reforestation efforts by planting 190 trees across 17 countries, absorbing 78 tons of CO2, and creating valuable work hours for local farmers. These actions not only offset carbon emissions but also promoted biodiversity and supported local communities.
Social and Community Impact: Charitable Giving and Volunteerism
In 2023, Storable donated over $36,000 to more than 60 charitable organizations, supporting causes ranging from equitable access to technology, animal welfare, and LGBTQIA+ advocacy to food security and neurodiversity research. Employees dedicated over 500 volunteer hours to 40 organizations, emphasizing Storable's dedication to community engagement and social impact.
Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)
Storable continues to prioritize DEIB, recognizing it as fundamental to its corporate culture. In 2023, the company expanded its Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to include NeuroSpicy and Voices of Color in Tech (VoCiT), fostering safe spaces for neurodivergent employees and Black tech professionals.
Storable also reported increases in the representation of diverse groups in management positions and promotions, reflecting its commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where all employees can thrive.
