Overview

Crestline Manufacturing was exceeding regional emissions limits and facing potential regulatory penalties. With no internal sustainability expertise, they needed an external partner who could assess, plan, and execute fast.

The Challenge

Their operations ran on outdated energy systems with no emissions tracking in place. Leadership understood the urgency but didn't know where he biggest problems were or how to fix them.

Our Approach

We conducted a comprehensive carbon audit across all three of their facilities — mapping every emission source across production, logistics, and energy consumption. We then prioritized reduction opportunities by impact and cost, building a phased transition plan the team could realistically execute.

What We Delivered

Their operations ran on outdated energy systems with no emissions tracking in place. Leadership understood the urgency but didn't know where he biggest problems were or how to fix them.
