CARSTAR Collision announces new environmental sustainability plan

CARSTAR Collision Centres announced their new sustainability plan on Aug. 10, detailing their commitment to being a social, environmental and economic leader in the Canadian collision repair industry and within the communities they service.
“I am extremely pleased to announce this new and exciting development for CARSTAR,” said Sam Mercanti, CEO and president of CARSTAR Automotive Canada Inc. “Our company, including our franchise partners, has always had a strong commitment to giving back to the community, but today marks the start of our vision to become the leader in sustainability in our industry and in the communities we service.
“Our three pillars of sustainability, ‘Give, Green and Growth,’ will be leading indicators of long-term success for our franchise locations.”
The plan outlines Key Performance Indicators in the areas of Give, Green and Growth to ensure the company is on target with its environmental goals.
The ‘Green’ portion of CARSTAR’s sustainability plan includes network-wide goals for franchise partners to meet or exceed standards set by legislation.
This includes minimizing the environmental footprint by being efficient in the use of energy, water and recycled parts.
The ‘Give’ section focuses on social goals including participation in community initiatives, a commitment to continue raising funds for Cystic Fibrosis Canada and expanding stakeholder and employee engagement.
The final segment of CARSTAR’s sustainability plan is Growth, which focuses on ensuring that the company and their franchise partners are focused on customer retention, revenue growth and consistent investment in exploration and improvement programs.
