For the second straight year, the Port of Tacoma has been named an Inbound Logistics Green Supply Chain Partner for its sustainability commitment.

Tacoma was one of five U.S. ports—and the only one in the Pacific Northwest—chosen.

The trade magazine honored 75 companies from various trade sectors, including ports, truckers, railroads, shipping lines, freight forwarders and air cargo carriers.

“Supply chain sustainability has always been top of mind for our readers,” said Felecia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics. “The companies selected as this year's 75 Green Supply Chain Partners, including the Port of Tacoma, are truly ‘walking the walk’ when it comes to supply chain sustainability.”
