Crescent Honored with the Supplier Excellence Award for Innovation, by Hershey
Crescent is a fast-paced, people-focused business that is comfortable dealing with unpredictability. Crescent's goals and mission focus on providing the best quality service, performance, and results to improve our customers' competitiveness in their market. In one of the most vulnerable times of our generation, we worked to continue building an intelligent Crescent and create agility and resiliency in our industry while protecting the well-being and safety of our people, our customers, and our communities. 

On June 9, 2021, Hershey awarded the People of Crescent the Supplier Excellence Award for Innovation. Nicole Henderson, Hershey’s Sr. Director, Manufacturing Alliances US Supply Chain Operations, presented the award to Crescent online and hand-delivered the award to our Crescent leaders in Mechanicsburg the next day. This award recognizes a supplier for their implementation and innovation of new ideas that generate value for their business, additional revenue, and delivering exceptional results aligned with their company's core values.
"This award is a tremendous honor to have achieved. The recognition for this award truly goes to our leadership teams and all the Crescent people that continue to strive to become a Premier Service Provider."
- Chris Taylor, Crescent Founder & CEO.

The COVID-19 pandemic retaught us that there is a constant threat to our operating model if it does not continue to fine-tune and continuously improve. As a result, we have adopted and adapted new processes while addressing physical and psychological impacts to our People, innovating communications, and acquiring specialized equipment to keep our customers and company safe. Our continuous improvement service culture requires us to work to outmaneuver uncertainty and become a community focused on innovation to reinvest in growth. 
Crescent's efforts to balance the need to meet attainment goals while ensuring our teams can continue to operate safely were challenging. We offered our customers resources for supply chain solutions to understand best practices, tools to respond to unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and health partners for testing and screenings. Our revisions to strategies, processes, and procedures helped Crescent and our customers mitigate supply chain challenges and strengthen our ability to deliver on our purpose.
We genuinely appreciate all of our customers' support and commitment to Doing it Right, Doing it Safe, and Doing it Well. We feel privileged to share this prestigious moment in Crescent's history and echo to all of our customers and partners that Crescent is equally dedicated to your business. Our Crescent Way mindset is our commitment to proactively sharing information and knowledge with our customers and our People, guaranteeing transparency, mutual trust, innovation, and continuous improvement. Thank you for sharing this moment with us and for your partnership today, tomorrow, and throughout the future.
