Canon has been honored with this esteemed recognition because of the company’s support of SmartWay® environmental goals such as effective collaboration, advanced technology and operational practices.
“Canon’s commitment to the environment is part of our corporate philosophy of Kyosei, and therefore, has encouraged our decision to implement environmental measures in our transportation management operations,” said Kazuhiko Sasahara, vice president and general manager, Logistics Division, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Being recognized with the SmartWay® Excellence Award upholds Canon’s dedication to maintaining global environmental efforts, as well as to the overall goal of working to create a sustainable future.”
Canon U.S.A. was one of 17 shipper and logistics companies to receive this distinction, representing the best environmental performers of SmartWay’s 3700 Partners. The Excellence Awardees were honored at the 2019 American Trucking Association’s Management Conference and Exhibition in San Diego, California on October 7th, 2019.
“This year, the U.S. EPA’s SmartWay Transport Partnership is recognizing 13 shippers and four third-party logistics providers as recipients of the 2019 SmartWay Excellence Award,” said EPA’s Director of the Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Sarah Dunham. “These awardees are the top two percent of environmental performers among all of our SmartWay Partners. They are redefining best practices for freight transport by reducing fuel costs and improving the public health of the communities they serve.”
The SmartWay® Excellence Award recognizes shippers and transportation service providers that have optimized the environmental performance and efficiency of their transportation management operations. As seen through the company’s environmental charter and increased environmental awareness of Canon employees, Canon works to pursue pollution prevention in its activities and maintain relationships with governmental organizations to provide support and participation with environmental proactive measures. To monitor and help ensure the company is using the most effective transportation partners, Canon utilizes SmartWay® data to keep track and rank transportation service providers that may be more environmentally efficient than others.
In addition, Canon has also been recognized by the EPA as a 2019 SmartWay® High Performer, which acknowledges those partner companies or partner fleets that fall into the upper performance ranges of efficiency and air quality for various environmental performance metrics.
