Over the last several years, there has been a dramatic increase in the focus on environmental sustainability, including a ramp-up of electric vehicles, renewable energy, and other initiatives, and we’ve seen corporate governance follow suit.
At TechTrans, we increasingly have conversations with our customers and partners that focus on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) strategies, as companies focus more heavily on corporate stewardship. These conversations are happening across the board: from our logistics and supply chain partners to our C-Suite collaborators. This is because outside of the toll the manufacturing process on some products can take on the environment, it can be argued that transportation and logistics account for a large percentage of carbon emissions.
In fact, the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTI) reports that transport emissions account for a quarter of global CO2 emissions, and land transportation is responsible for around three-quarters of these. In this video, VP of National Accounts Phil Burnette discusses some of the ways TechTrans is helping our customers with programs that lower carbon emissions and support their ESG and corporate sustainability goals.
Our Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
At TechTrans, we’ve committed to data-driven quality assurance processes to improve the services we provide. Our systems and processes are compliant with ISO standards, and our internal quality system allows our customers to remain compliant with their own quality standards.
In addition, as a SmartWay partner with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we work to ensure our programs are sustainable and environmentally sound. We meet the stringent standards of the program, ensuring TechTrans remains a good steward of the environment.
