We continuously evaluate methods to reduce miles driven, reduce distracted driving as well as ways to proactively improve safety outcomes while operating all pieces of equipment for our employees.

We also know that reducing emissions is imperative to our customers and is often a key element of their sustainability goals. We are focused on not only offering our customers solutions that reduce emissions in their own operations but also ensuring that our own operations are as nonintensive as possible.
We have partnered with an industry expert to establish our Scope 1 and 2 emissions baselines to help chart our journey, understand the key drivers in each emissions category, and develop a comprehensive reduction strategy rooted in meaningful data. Identifying these metrics and moving forward with a data-centered plan to reduce these emissions will help Artera be a better corporate citizen and partner to our customers.
We continue to execute emissions reduction initiatives that include vehicle idle time tracking/reductions, optimizing fleet route efficiency using Samsara, and innovative technologies that avoid methane venting or reduce dig-in damage potential. Similarly, we have invested and launched Versiv Solutions to provide cross-compression solutions that enable us to partner with our customers to meet their own sustainability goals. Our cross-compression services, which provide an alternative to venting, flaring or blowdown during pipeline repairs and installation, delivers our customers a meaningful avenue to mitigate methane emissions.
