Schneider, the company based out of Green Bay Wisconsin, a provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services will be hosting its Transportation Sustainability Summit in Long Beach, California this week. The company plans to unveil to customers the “Pledge to Plan”, a strategy to support shippers in preparing their transportation strategy to meet the sustainability goals defined by their organisation.
“We are working together to understand, measure and reduce scope 3 emissions,” said Schneider Senior Vice President of Van Truckload John Bozec. “We continue to advise customers on how the carbon footprint associated with transportation and supply chain fits into their overarching emissions reduction goals. We must challenge ourselves to pursue a more sustainable future by influencing those that we work with within the industry.”
“No one sector is the answer to sustainability. Collaboration is the key to making meaningful change and reducing carbon emissions throughout the supply chain,” said Bozec.
“The scaling of zero-emission vehicles is a critical component of reaching our goal to reduce carbon emissions by 7.5% per mile by 2025 and by 60% per mile by 2035,” said Bozec. “Schneider is excited to be at the forefront of this pivotal evolution in the industry and continue educating the world around us on sustainable transportation opportunities.”
More and more companies are becoming increasingly concerned about the environmental issues associated with them, and trying to achieve sustainability in the supply chain is an important corporate responsibility and goal related to almost any industry. Schneider is trying to demonstrate how an organisation can reduce their own carbon footprint and environmental impact while leveraging the necessary knowledge and expertise to better support customers across the supply chain efficiently.
Schneider’s sustainability summit is an event for shippers to better understand the improvement of sustainability across transportation and key trends, and find solutions to better electrification of fleets across the industry.
