Reindeer Logistics today announced that it joined the SmartWay® Transport Partnership, a public-private partnership between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the freight industry. SmartWay is a market-driven initiative that empowers businesses and fleets to drive supply chain efficiency and resiliency, while protecting public health, reducing air pollution, and restoring American energy dominance.

Reindeer will contribute to the Partnership’s savings of 397 million barrels of oil and 170 million metric tons of CO2. This is equivalent to eliminating annual energy use in over 26 million homes. By joining SmartWay Transport Partnership, Reindeer demonstrates its strong environmental leadership and corporate responsibility.

“At Reindeer, we take our corporate social responsibility very seriously. That’s why this partnership was a perfect fit. We recognize the impact the transportation industry has on the environment and are excited to be a part of the solution,” said Debbie Boyce, CEO of Reindeer Logistics.

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 4,000 Partners, including shippers, logistics companies, truck, rail, barge, and multimodal carriers.
