Concert Group Logistics (CGL), a Downers Grove, Ill.-based leader in
transportation logistics, as part of its green mission recently
completed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Freight
Logistics Environmental and Energy Tracking (FLEET) Performance
Model, and has met the requirements to be recognized as
a SmartWay Transport Partner.
SmartWay Partners include a global network of freight transportation
companies that are dedicated to promoting greater energy efficiency and
air quality within the freight transport sector. Each year, SmartWay
partners conserve between 3.3 and 6.6 billion gallons of diesel fuel,
saving nearly 150 million barrels of oil. CGL was awarded this
innovative partnership in recognition of its voluntary commitment to
work with the EPA and its own supplier network to improve air quality,
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save fuel, and protect public health.
Using the EPA’s FLEET Performance Model, CGL can track and assess
progress and efficiency, quantify the benefits, and evaluate possible
environmental strategies. As a SmartWay Partner, CGL is not only
dedicated to improving environmental performance, but also to
encouraging business partners and clients to make better choices for
their businesses, the environment and the global community.
“In an effort to support the interests of our clients and future
generations, CGL is dedicated to the principals of corporate
responsibility. We continually seek more efficient and sustainable
transportation business processes and strive to influence the industry
to do the same,” says Gerry Post, president of CGL. “CGL believes that
the quality of the environment is about global respect with local
responsibility. The SmartWay partnership reinforces our responsibility
and commitment to promoting greater energy efficiency and air quality
wherever we may operate.”
