Happy Earth Day! Audit Logistics cares about the planet and the impact emissions have on the environment. Not only is today Earth Day, but this year is SmartWay’s 20th Anniversary!
Audit Logistics partners with SmartWay, an organization designed to encourage businesses to manage logistics in an environmentally responsible way. They help companies advance supply chain sustainability by measuring, benchmarking, and improving freight transportation efficiency.
Global trade has a net positive effect on the world economy, but freight transportation has adverse impacts on the environment and public health.
Did you know:
The U.S. transportation system moves a daily average of over 51 million tons of freight, or about 57 tons per capita.
E-Commerce sales in the U.S. grew at a faster rate than total sales in Q4 of 2023.
Experts project that by 2050, global freight transport emissions will surpass those from passenger vehicles.
EPA launched SmartWay in 2004 to tackle these challenges, partnering with freight shippers, carriers, logistics companies and other stakeholders to provide a comprehensive system for tracking information about fuel use and emissions across supply chains.
Since 2004, SmartWay has helped partners save 379 million barrels of oil and helped America’s freight industry reduce its dependence on foreign fuel, and has partnered with nearly 4,000 companies and organizations.
Thanks to our partnership, Audit does 95% of shipping through SmartWay. The way we conduct our business is just as important as the business itself. Our goal is that our customers and local communities will benefit from our efforts, resulting in a healthy economy and environment for future generations.
