American Group Joins U.S. EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership
Leading Logistics Firm Embraces Green Initiatives by Partnering with EPA's SmartWay
Chandler, AZ, February 01, 2017 --(PR.com)-- American Group today announced that it joined the SmartWay Transport Partnership, an innovative collaboration between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and industry that provides a framework to assess the environmental and energy efficiency of goods movement supply chains.
American Group will contribute to the Partnership's savings of 170.3 million barrels of oil, $24.9 billion in fuel costs, 72.8 MMT of carbon dioxide (CO2), 1,458,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, and 59,000 tons of particulate matter. This is equivalent to eliminating annual energy use in over 6 million homes. Carbon dioxide is the most common greenhouse gas, and nitrogen oxide is an air pollutant that contributes to smog. By joining SmartWay Transport Partnership, American Group demonstrates its strong environmental leadership and corporate responsibility.
"American Group has consistently exhibited corporate responsibility, coupled with high business ethics and integrity. By partnering with EPA's SmartWay program, we are further cementing our leadership position and demonstrating a commitment to protecting our environment," said Daniel Krivickas - President/Co-Founder.
Developed jointly in early 2003 by EPA and Charter Partners represented by industry stakeholders, environmental groups, American Trucking Associations, and Business for Social Responsibility, this innovative program was launched in 2004. Partners rely upon SmartWay tools and approaches to track and reduce emissions and fuel use from goods movement. The Partnership currently has over 3,000 Partners including shipper, logistics companies, truck, rail, barge and multimodal carriers.
