MANAGEMENT APPROACH
G4-DMA
While Davey operates over 150 facilities throughout North America, many of these buildings are small, housing fewer than
10 employees, and often leased. Altogether, our facility energy footprint accounts for less than 5 percent of our overall energy
footprint. e remaining energy use and affiliated emissions come from our fleet of vehicles and field equipment. erefore,
managing our fleet and equipment—ensuring each item is properly used, as well as serviced regularly and maintained—offers
the most actionable opportunity to decrease our emissions and energy use.
e equipment department is ultimately responsible for energy and emissions associated with Davey's fleet. e department
works with each business segment to ensure every territory is properly equipped to deliver unmatched excellence in client
service. Each year, district and regional managers request equipment based on their territories' current fleet and projected level
of business. e equipment department is led by the corporate fleet manager, who reports through the vice president of
operations support services to the executive vice president and general manager, commercial landscapes services.
Over the past 136 years, we have built our business on valuing
the natural capital trees, plant life and animal habitats create for
our homes and communities. As we begin to see evidence of a
changing climate in our work and research, we have the capability
and responsibility to take action on climate change and create
positive impacts through our environmental services. In addition,
we can work internally to reduce carbon emissions and fossil
fuel use.
WHEN IT COMES TO
ENERGY AND EMISSIONS,
IT'S ABOUT REDUCING
OUR IDLE TIME.
