The environmental choices we make can have a lasting impact on the planet. Sustainability isn't just a buzzword; it's a responsibility we all share. In an industry where the carbon footprint can be large, it's clear that progress is necessary - and meaningful. But how do we create real change? By embracing innovation, taking daily action, and constantly evolving. It's not enough to say we care about the planet; we have to prove it with measurable results. And for those leading the charge, change isn't just something they aim for - it's a continuous journey.
For over two decades, we've been dedicated to minimizing environmental impact through initiatives aimed at reducing waste, conserving energy, and decreasing emissions. Our commitment has been recognized in multiple ways, including earning the EcoVadis Committed Badge. This recognition reflects the dedication to sustainability that has been integral to us for years.
Additionally, we're proud to be a founding member of the SmartWay® program, an initiative by the Environmental Protection Agency that works to reduce transportation-related emissions. This program has helped to drastically reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency, proving that environmental responsibility and operational success can go hand in hand.
Our Sustainable Milestones Include:
These figures reflect real progress, but they're just the beginning. Sustainability is a journey, and each year brings new challenges and opportunities for improvement.
We take a comprehensive approach to sustainability, with a focus on both reducing emissions and conserving resources. Here are just a few ways we're actively making a difference:
We recognize that the work is far from complete. Every decision made today shapes the world of tomorrow, and we are continually striving to find new ways to improve. Innovation is key. Whether it's through pioneering new processes, embracing green technology, or advocating for sustainable practices across the industry, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
We're also working alongside universities, logistics centers, and industry experts to identify even more effective methods of reducing energy consumption and emissions. Sustainability isn't a one-time goal - it's a path we're committed to walking every single day.
It's good to remember of what we stand to lose if we don't act now but also celebrate the progress we've made, big or small. As we continue to innovate and advance our sustainability goals, we're proud of our progress and excited about the future. A cleaner, greener tomorrow is possible, and we're committed to making it a reality every day.
As our chairman and CEO, Gary Sasser, says, "We will do everything in our power to protect this precious planet we all call home." This commitment goes beyond reducing emissions and conserving energy; it's about ensuring the planet remains healthy for future generations.
