C.H. Robinson Awarded European Label for Sustainable Transport

C.H. Robinson Europe, one of the leading road transportation and freight forwarders in Europe and a steering member of the Green Freight Europe initiative, has been recognized as a green frontrunner in sustainable transport by receiving the First Leaf Award.

The First Leaf Award is given to companies to have shared CO2 data and information on policies, strategy, and intentions to reduce CO2 emissions stemming from transport operations.

The award is part of a four-tier labeling program by Green Freight Europe that recognizes and benchmarks members based on their efforts and measures to further improve on CO2 reduction.

“As part of our business model, we use a combination of modes to improve efficiency, employ sophisticated technologies to reduce empty kilometers, and stimulate our employees to reduce waste,” says Pjotr Horowitz, director of transportation in Europe.

For C.H. Robinson, sustainability is an overall approach to business. The company accomplishes this through reducing empty kilometers and fuel consumption by selecting efficient modes of transport and optimizing shipments, developing transportation and network optimization strategies for shippers who improve efficiency savings through consolidation, and by giving back to the communities in which the company lives and works.
