Prioritizing Sustainability in the Supply Chain

From small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, shippers are seeking partners who can help them meet their sustainability goals, increasingly pressured by consumers, regulatory requirements, and market demands to adopt greener practices. At Fetch Freight, we provide more than just transportation solutions; we offer the expertise and resources needed to navigate the complexities of sustainability initiatives. By staying ahead of regulatory changes and market trends, we position our customers and carriers for success in an environment where sustainability is increasingly tied to profitability. 

One way to tactically move towards more sustainable business is through EPA’s SmartWay certification, meeting strict standards for fuel efficiency and emissions reduction in annual freight operations. Fetch Freight has been a Tier-2 partner for the past three years, and since 2023 has seen significant growth in SmartWay adoption among our carriers, with a 144% increase in SmartWay-certified miles. 

SmartWay benefits shippers by ensuring their supply chains align with sustainability goals to meet customer expectations, avoid regulatory penalties, stay compliant, mitigate potential legal risks, and improve cost efficiency.  For carriers, it opens doors to new business opportunities, as well as long-term cost savings by improving fuel efficiency and reducing waste. 

Fetch Freight is committed to staying at the forefront of these changes, providing our partners with the tools and insights they need to thrive. Visit Fetch Freight to learn more about our sustainability efforts and how we can support your business in achieving its environmental objectives.
