Jofco Joins Smartway Transport Partnership
5.27.10 | Jasper, IN | Jofco is pleased to announce that it has joined
the SmartWaySM Transport Partnership, a voluntary partnership
that addresses greenhouse gas emissions, fuel consumption, pollutants,
and operating costs associated with ground freight transportation
operations.
Jofco has made recognized improvements to the environmental performance of its freight operations and is contributing to the Partnership’s goal to reduce 33 to 66 million metric tons of carbon dioxide and up to 200,000 tons of nitrogen oxide per year by 2012. “Ever since creating our own fleet of trucks, we realized our responsibility to reduce emissions that are harmful to this and future generations,” says President/CEO William Rubino. “As a citizen of the world we recognize our role as a steward and will employ practices that protect the environment and our natural resources. We have made this a key part of Jofco’s Mission Statement and an important element in this company’s vision.”
Launched by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in February 2004, the SmartWaySM Transport Partnership brings together major freight shippers, trucking companies, railroads, logistics companies and trade/professional associations to pursue mutually beneficial strategies that result in emissions reductions and other environmental improvements.
