The Port of Tacoma has been named an Inbound Logistics “Green 50 Supply Chain Partner” in the magazine’s annual list of 50 supply chain partners committed to sustainability.
Tacoma is one of five U.S. ports—and the only one in the Pacific Northwest—to be honored.
“To balance its environmental impact, the Port of Tacoma restores habitat sites for salmon and other wildlife, and invests in a range of cleanup and improvement projects in and around Commencement Bay,” according to the article in the magazine’s special June issue.
“We are thrilled to be recognized for our commitment to doing business in a way that protects the environment,” said John Wolfe, Port of Tacoma’s chief executive officer. “It honors the hard work and ingenuity of our employees, customers and business partners as we work together to advance our industry and enhance our community.”
“Our editors determined that these companies are truly ‘walking the walk’ when it comes to commitment to supply chain sustainability,” said Felecia Stratton, Inbound Logistics editor. “I am pleased that the Port of Tacoma was chosen as one of this year’s G50.”
Other “Green 50” ports include the Port of Long Beach, Port of Los Angeles, Port of Charleston and North Carolina State Ports Authority.
