2030 Big, Bold, Meaningful Goals
Alsco Uniforms® is committed to reducing energy usage and carbon emissions. We work with employees, customers, and suppliers to exceed environmental standards. In partnership with EECA, we’ve adopted initiatives like New Zealand’s first long-distance EV freighter, a wood-pellet boiler, and consolidated two plants into one efficient facility.
With EECA’s help, we aim to reduce energy use by 2 GWh, equivalent to powering 18,000 EVs. In 2018, we set four bold sustainability goals for 2030.
Our Path to a Low-Carbon Future
Alsco Uniforms® is a leader in promoting low-carbon services and products, supporting the global shift toward a net-zero carbon economy. Our sustainability initiatives span across carbon emissions reduction, renewable energy adoption, water and waste management, and electric vehicle integration.

Water Usage
Reduce water consumption by 33% by 2030.

Carbon Reduction
Eliminate coal as energy source by 2030.

Zero Waste
Achieve zero waste by eliminating 1.2 tones of CO2e per tone of waste.
