“Crestwood is proud to issue its first carbon management plan demonstrating our continued commitment to actionable emission intensity reductions, with a focus on mitigating climate-related risk to our business. This three-year plan highlights our leading MLP midstream approach to sustainability as we follow our authentic path of committing to year-over-year emission intensity reductions while seeking new opportunities to prudently grow our organization and incorporate those assets into our leading sustainability practices,” said Robert G. Phillips, CEO of Crestwood’s general partner, in a statement. “We believe that oil and natural gas will play a significant role in the future, but we also recognize that our industry needs to evolve in a lower-carbon future. Mitigating climate change means taking a pragmatic approach to what’s feasible today, and Crestwood is focused on promoting cost-effective, practical and realistic emissions reduction practices that deliver long-term value to our unitholders.”
