Graphic Packaging has confirmed it is now a SmartWay Shipper Partner.
SmartWay includes tools and approaches to track and reduce emissions and fuel used to move goods. With the SmartWay framework, Graphic Packaging assess environmental and energy efficiency as consumer packaging products move through the supply chain. SmartWay-certified carriers enable the reduction of emissions by an average of 6% and pay less for fuel on North American transportation.
“Being a SmartWay Shipper Partner shows our customers we are committed to supporting their sustainability goals,” said Jeff Zundel, Director of Strategy, Logistics, Graphic Packaging. “Partnering with carriers committed to sustainability supports our broader decarbonization strategy and increases Graphic Packaging’s brand equity.”
“Our decarbonization plan includes validated science-based targets for Scope 3 emissions. These types of GHG emissions are not directly generated by our company, but by vendors and suppliers like shipping and transportation,” continues Zundel. “We continue to advance programs like SmartWay that move us closer to our decarbonization goals. Graphic Packaging is an industry leader in identifying innovative ways to reduce our environmental footprint — from using lower-carbon intensive transportation methods like rail and intermodal, to the deployment of new alternative fuel technologies, such as electric and renewable natural gas-powered trucks.”
