Securing a Sustainable Future
Industry-wide change must be a collective effort
Stewards of Inspiration - Securing a Sustainable Future
For over four decades Crozier has been trusted by artists, galleries, museums and collectors to safeguard humanity’s most valuable art and cultural artefacts. With this responsibility comes a duty to protect the environment so that cultural heritage continues to inspire future generations.
In collaboration with our parent company Iron Mountain, we have committed to reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2040 as validated by Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), a global coalition that promotes best practice and independently assesses and approves companies’ emissions targets.
As a leader in art logistics with over forty state-of-the art storage facilities worldwide and a fleet of 200 plus vehicles, I am pleased to report Crozier’s carbon intensity is reducing year-on-year, indicating we are growing responsibly. In 2024 Crozier’s global energy consumption from renewable sources increased to 75% as a result of continued investment in green energy.
Crozier’s comprehensive shuttle services in Europe and North America provide a cost effective and environmentally conscious art logistics solution. An integrated transportation network, electric vehicles for last mile delivery and global client base creates optimal conditions for route efficiencies and consolidation, significantly reducing the carbon emissions associated with transportation.
Our ambition to secure a sustainable future for art logistics is only possible with the support of customers and partners as we innovate together to decarbonise our industry.

Here are some of the specific initiatives we have launched or are working on to reduce our footprint.
Sustainable Crating Program
Crozier is developing sustainable crating options including recycling and more sustainable packing, crate take back, and the purchase of certified refurbished Crozier-built crates. We also provide crate rentals in Switzerland and are developing a rental program in the UK for traditional Crozier-built crates and RokBoxes to provide reusable crating options. Look for our sustainable crating options to grow in the near future. Talk to your Crozier representative for availability and options at your location.
Sea freight shipping
Crozier’s sea freight runs regularly between Europe, the US, and Asia, reducing carbon emissions by as much as 80% compared to air transport.
