How CVS reduced its carbon
intensity...and plans more
CVS Caremark has announced a goal of reducing
carbon intensity by 15% by 2018, from a 2010 baseline,
according to its 2010 CSR Report.
Some ways through which CVS saved energy
1 Adding aerodynamic skirts to 14 truck trailers and
use of governors on truck fleets to limit speeds to
63 miles per hour.
2 Routing and cube optimization, which increased space
utilization by 5.6%, eliminated 11,000 routes and saved
more than 500,000 gallons of gas, while improving trucks’
fuel efficiency from 6.37 to 6.46 mpg.
3 Replace black rubber roofs on its large facilities
with FiberTite white roofing membrane and installed
polyiso insulation that helped reflect heat and lower
energy consumption.
