our value chain emissions. Transportation is one of the ma- jor contributors to our Scope 3 footprint, so we’re looking to our transportation suppliers to deliver significant reduc- tions in their emissions to help us achieve our goal. “Our procurement teams, who manage contracts with our service providers, explore ways to optimize logistics to reduce transportation. For example, from our 2023 ESG Report: Actions implemented in 2023 included a program to switch truck shipments to rail along several key routes in our U.S. operations, which resulted in 195 thousand few- er truck miles and avoided approximately 570 metric tons of CO2 emissions. “Actions implemented in 2023 included a program to switch truck shipments to rail along several key routes in our U.S. operations, which resulted in 195 thousand fewer truck miles and avoided approximately 570 metric tons of CO2 emissions. “Now, the SmartWay program makes it easier for our procurement teams to identify sustainable transportation providers in North America. SmartWay Carrier Partners measure, benchmark and report their fuel efficiency and emissions. Then, SmartWay Shipper Partners, like Graphic Packaging, use this data to assess transportation efficien- cy and improve environmental performance across their supply chain. “We continue to advance programs like SmartWay that move us closer to our decarbonization goals,” said Zun- del. “Graphic Packaging is an industry leader in identifying innovative ways to reduce our environmental footprint — from using lower-carbon intensive transportation methods like rail and intermodal, to the deployment of new alter- native fuel technologies, such as electric and renewable natural gas-powered trucks.” Collective Accountability In 2003, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed SmartWay with industry stakeholders, en- vironmental groups, American Trucking Associations and the Business for Social Responsibility. Now, over 4,000 organizations are SmartWay partners, from shippers and logistics companies to truck, rail and barge carriers. Since 2004, SmartWay has helped its partners save 397 million barrels of oil- equivalent to eliminating annual electricity use in over 26 million homes. SmartWay is not only an innovative sustainability pro- gram but also an influential model for action and account- ability. By sharing insights and best practices within the supply chain, Graphic Packaging will help promote a col- lective effort to prioritize sustainable transportation. As a SmartWay ally, it aims to set an industry precedent for op- erational efficiency that minimizes its carbon footprint.
