23-24 ISR Report
The 2023/24 Integrated Sustainability Report covers the activities of all facilities within United States Cold Storage during the 2023/24 calendar year. This report focuses on the USCS workforce and their protection both financially and on the job, the impact that our operations have on the environment, and how we plan to impact future generations. This is the 9th iteration of this report to follow the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standard for sustainability reporting. While previous annual reports have been issued to Swire without GRI standards in place, thus some metrics are not fully reported due to limited data availability and recording.
