Averitt has been at the forefront of sustainable transportation initiatives for decades. In 2004, when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established SmartWay – a program designed to reduce transportation-related emissions and improve supply chain efficiency – we were proud to be a founding partner. As one of only 52 original members, we committed to meeting specific environmental and energy-saving goals while transparently reporting our progress annually to the EPA. Through our ongoing participation in SmartWay, we have established a systematic approach to reducing emissions and conserving fuel across our operations. Since 2004, Averitt has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 36%, decreased nitrogen oxide emissions by 84%, and saved over 5.4 million gallons of diesel fuel. Our enduring SmartWay partnership demonstrates our steadfast dedication to seeking out and implementing eco-friendly logistics solutions that minimize our environmental impact. We continue collaborating with the EPA and using SmartWay’s resources to enhance operational efficiencies, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and drive sustainability initiatives that pave the way for a greener future for the transportation industry.
