RedPrairie Corporation says it's the first technology company to become an affiliate member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWayTransport Partnership, a program promoting reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and improved efficiency of ground freight transportation.
"Every step to increase efficiency throughout your supply chain adds up, and the overall impact can make a dramatic difference-for both the environment and the bottom line," says Jim Hoefflin, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for RedPrairie. "We are proud to be a SmartWay Affiliate and share in their commitment to provide strong environmental leadership and corporate responsibility."
Launched in 2004, the SmartWay Transport Partnership aims to achieve fuel savings of up to 150 million barrels of fuel per year. Partnership members include freight shippers, trucking companies, railroads, logistics companies and trade/professional associations.
