Hanes, which has been a program partner for three years,
recently submitted its data on shipping and energy-conservation
efforts associated with the transportation of raw materials and
distribution of finished products. The SmartWay Transport program
reviewed and validated this information before approving the
company’s partnership renewal.
Since 2008, Hanes has reduced carbon emissions from
transportation by more than 50%, helping the company achieve a
total 34% reduction in carbon emissions across its supply chain
operations.
“We’re very proud to participate in the U.S. EPA’s SmartWay
Transportation program, as it is integral to being successful in
our overall environmental sustainability program,” said Robin
Hager, director of global logistics, freight and customs.
The SmartWay Transport program was developed in 2003 by the U.S.
EPA, industry stakeholders and environmental groups. Annually since
its inception, the partnership estimates that the program has
helped save nearly 280 million barrels of oil, or more than 5.3
billion gallons of gas, along with $38 billion in fuel costs.
Additionally, emissions have been reduced by 134 million tons.
Hanes uses SmartWay’s tools and innovative approaches to assess
the environmental and energy efficiency of shipping within its
supply chains and help reduce fuel use and associated emissions.
SmartWay has more than 3,000 partners, including manufacturers,
shippers, logistics companies, and truck, rail, barge and
multimodal carriers.
