December 20 2017 - 3:27PM
Nexeo Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXEO), a leading global chemicals and
plastics distributor, was recently named ‘Runner Up’ in Sustainable
Manufacturing at the Manufacturer Leaders Awards for 2017, in
recognition of Nexeo Solutions’ extensive carbon footprint
reduction efforts and sustainability savings delivered to
customers.
Winners of the Manufacturing Leaders Awards 2017 were announced
in an exclusive ceremony in Boston, Massachusetts. The event
celebrated outstanding achievements in the manufacturing industry
across six categories, with finalists from leading global
organizations including IBM, BASF, Walmart, and AkzoNobel.
Nexeo Solutions won the ‘Runner Up’ title for Sustainable
Manufacturing, with its carbon footprint reduction project. The
Company evaluated trucking and operational activities to calculate
its carbon footprint and track sustainability savings delivered to
customers over the course of 4 years. Between 2012 and 2015, Nexeo
Solutions implemented several operational improvements that
continued to reduce carbon footprint in a variety of areas, even as
fuel prices rose during the period. Efficiency improvements, like
moving from common carriers to more efficient, new private fleet
tractors, improved trailer utilization, site rationalization and
much more, have contributed to a continued reduction in carbon
footprint - saving over 54,000 Metric Tons CO2e over the course of
the 4-year monitoring period.
“Nexeo Solutions has a culture of continuous improvement and is
committed to realizing sustainable goals through improvements to
logistics and operations for both the organization and customers
alike,” said Ron LaBusch, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain and
Environmental Services. “As a distributor of chemicals and
plastics, we believe it is our responsibility to do all that we can
to create sustainable solutions for our partners and conduct our
business with a relentless focus on safety and environmental
responsibility.”
