Do you ship food and beverages? Here's food for
thought on how to save energy and money.
l. WHAT IS SMARTWAY?
SmartWay is an EPA voluntary partnership that helps companies improve
freight transportation efficiency throughout their supply chains - to move
more ton-miles of freight with lower emissions and less energy, and at
a lower cost. Over 3,700 shippers, logistics companies, truck, rail, barge,
multimodal carriers and organizations (including many Fortune 500
companies) have registered with SmartWay since 2004,
2. WHY IS FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION
EFFICIENCY IMPORTANT?
In the U.S., freight transport accounts for over 28
percent of transport greenhouse gas emissions,
making it one of the largest carbon footprint
contributors. Freight is the fastest growing source
of transport emissions in the U.S. and globally - and
trucking activity is the largest contributor.
3. HOW DOES SMARTWAY WORK?
SmartWay gives its Partners an integrated
set of EPA-tested tools to make informed
transportation choices. These tools help
companies measure, benchmark and report
carbon emissions, and improve freight
efficiency and environmental performance
across their supply chain.
4. WHY DO FOOD AND BEVERAGE COMPANIES
REGISTER WITH SMARTWAY?
Food and beverage companies are increasingly concerned with addressing
their Scope 3 carbon emissions from transportation. SmartWay gives these
companies the high-quality data they need for Carbon Disclosure Project
(CDP) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) requirements. Participation in
SmartWay also gives Partners a competitive edge and enhances their
corporate image.
5. WHAT RESULTS HAVE SMARTWAY
PARTNERS ACHIEVED?
Since 2004, SmartWay Partners have eliminated 133 million metric tons
of carbon dioxide, 2.6 million tons of nitrogen oxides and 109,000 tons of
particulate matter. They've saved 312 million barrels of oil and $41.8 billion
in fuel costs. This is equivalent to eliminating annual energy use in over
20 million homes.
6. HOW DO SMARTWAY FOOD AND
BEVERAGE PARTNERS MAKE A
DIFFERENCE FOR CUSTOMERS
AND STAKEHOLDERS?
SmartWay registration demonstrates a public
commitment to corporate social responsibility
and sustainable business practices. Registered
SmartWay food and beverage Partners like
Bacardi and Tyson Foods show customers,
clients and investors that they are mitigating
risk, reducing their carbon footprint and taking
responsibility for emissions associated with
moving goods.
7. HOW DO FOOD AND
BEVERAGE COMPANIES
BENEFIT FROM
REGISTERING
WITH SMARTWAY?
SmartWay Partners are part of
an alliance that includes Canada
and a global network of Green
Freight programs. Partners can
network with their peers to share
best practices and success stories,
and participate in industry forums
and recognition ceremonies to
showcase their achievements.
