Sustainability is playing a larger role in transportation strategy as shippers face growing pressure to reduce emissions and demonstrate measurable progress. For carriers, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions can also help meet evolving customer expectations.
The EPA’s SmartWay Transport Partnership gives all sides of the supply chain a way to measure and improve transportation efficiency. Shippers can use SmartWay to measure their freight footprint and set sustainability goals, while carriers can benchmark fuel efficiency and emissions performance.
Sustainability also comes down to how freight moves.
Consolidating shipments, maximizing capacity and reducing empty miles can lower both transportation costs and emissions. A transportation partner with visibility across a shipper’s network can help identify opportunities to move freight more efficiently without compromising service.
Fetch Freight is an EPA SmartWay Partner, and that commitment is part of how we build and maintain our carrier network. We combine a vetted carrier network with data-driven transportation planning to help our customers make informed decisions about efficiency, cost and sustainability.
