The Port of Tacoma’s sustainability commitment has earned it an Inbound Logistics Green Supply Chain Partner honor for the fifth year running.
One of seven U.S. ports selected, Tacoma was recognized for its efforts to reduce seaport-related emissions through the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy, clean up legacy contamination to put more than 420 acres back into productive use, and find innovative solutions to manage stormwater runoff.
The trade magazine honored 75 organizations from various trade sectors, including ports, truckers, railroads, shipping lines, freight forwarders and air cargo carriers.
“The 75 Green Supply Chain Partners is a very select group, and we found the Port of Tacoma to be one of those companies that is truly ‘walking the walk’ when it comes to supply chain sustainability,” said Felecia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics. “The G75 list represents 75 visionaries who have demonstrated a long-standing history of driving efficiencies in their customers' operations and an internal commitment to be as lean and green as possible. Inbound Logistics is proud to honor the Port of Tacoma among this important group of industry-changing leaders.”
The complete list of honored partners is featured in the magazine's June issue.
