12:05 The SmartWay To Reduce Carbon And Costs From Your Pharma Supply Chain

Business leaders are looking closely at their supply chains to address more urgent concerns for reducing costs, enhancing competitiveness, energy security, economic vitality and addressing risks from climate change. As marketplace conditions change, industry leading companies have demonstrated that they can address these issues by reducing fuel use in goods movement. The SmartWay Transport Partnership is a government industry collaboration which has been shown to help the domestic trucking and rail sectors to work together to save fuel and money. SmartWay 2nd generation tools give freight shippers and carriers the ability to better address their goods movement supply chain carbon footprints.

This session will highlight how a market based, public private partnership helps freight shippers and carriers to save fuel and money by benchmarking their transportation supply chain carbon efficiency and optimizing both modal and provider choices. Partners demonstrate to customers, clients, and investors that they are taking responsibility for freight emissions throughout their supply chain. EPA shows how SmartWay Transport shipper and carrier Partners use new technologies and management practices to improve their supply chain efficiency and reduce fuel use and emissions. Freight shippers and carriers benefit from fuel savings, cost savings, improved information and resources, competitive advantages gained, and enhanced public relations. SmartWay Partners who demonstrate their commitment to improving fuel efficiency qualify to use the SmartWay logo to enhance their visibility as a responsible corporate citizen and fuel efficient business partner.
