The Shyft Group advances sustainability through three key dimensions: environmental stewardship, social responsibility and governance excellence. These pillars are integral to the company’s long-term growth strategy and value creation for stakeholders. This year’s report includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. Shyft will look to this information as a baseline for future emissions assessment and to guide reduction strategies.
