San Francisco, CA – December 1, 2015 – Cantaloupe Systems, the vending industry’s premier provider of cloud-based, mobile technologies that deliver an integrated end-to-end vending solution, today announced that it has joined the American Business Act on Climate Pledge, joining more than 140 companies from across the American economy that are standing with the Obama Administration to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to climate action and to voice support for a strong outcome to the COP21 Paris climate negotiations.
THE AMERICAN BUSINESS ACT ON CLIMATE PLEDGE:
We applaud the growing number of countries that have already set ambitious targets for climate action. In this context, we support the conclusion of a climate change agreement in Paris that takes a strong step forward toward a low-carbon, sustainable future.
We recognize that delaying action on climate change will be costly in economic and human terms, while accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy will produce multiple benefits with regard to sustainable economic growth, public health, resilience to natural disasters, and the health of the global environment.
We put forth our pledges as follows:
Since 2008, Cantaloupe Systems has successfully removed 1,021 vending trucks off the road in collaboration with our vending operators. This has resulted in reducing our carbon emissions by 58.9 million pounds annually.
Building on this momentum, Cantaloupe Systems pledges to:
- Remove an additional 1,539 vending trucks off the road, which will stop 88 million pounds of carbon dioxide from being emitted annually by 2025
- Improve energy efficiency by at least 25% across all Cantaloupe Systems’ offices by 2025.
