Service Providers
We don't have control over how quickly our service providers modernize their fleets, but we do have influence. We partnered with the US EPA SmartWay program in 2008 and quickly earned "Outstanding Performer" status due to our ability to promote the program to existing and new trucking service providers. Currently 85% of our "freight spend" in the US is with SmartWay providers.
Expeditors' Global Green Team actively researches potential partnerships with service providers and other groups to help us make a bigger impact. We are also members of the Coalition for Responsible Transport and the Clean Shipping Project.
As part of our Service Provider Strategy, we use environmental criteria to score all new service providers to understand where they are in their environmental efforts and to help us make decisions regarding which service providers to select.
