Werner Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WERN) has been named a Green Supply Chain Partner by Inbound Logistics for the 13th consecutive year. This recognition highlights the company's ongoing commitment to sustainability in global supply chains. The award comes as Werner continues to set ambitious targets for reducing CO₂ emissions and invest in innovative technologies.

Werner's dedication to sustainability is evident in its 2035 goal to reduce CO₂ emissions by 55%. The company's strategy includes investing in alternative fuels and advanced technologies. For instance, Werner uses renewable natural gas, biodiesel blends, and renewable diesel in its operations. Additionally, the company has deployed a range of innovative fleet technologies, including compressed natural gas engines, Class 8 battery electric vehicles, and a hydrogen fuel cell truck, along with aerodynamic enhancements across its trailers [1].

The company also actively participates in the EPA’s SmartWay Transport Partnership, collaborating exclusively with SmartWay-certified carriers to drive greater environmental efficiency across its network. This approach not only reduces the company's carbon footprint but also aligns with its belief that environmental responsibility, operational excellence, and long-term value creation are interconnected.

While the financial impact of these sustainability efforts remains unclear, the strategic investments in reducing emissions and increasing efficiency could potentially lead to cost savings and new revenue streams.
