Environment / Sustainability
In 2009, C.H. Robinson received an Environmental Award by CSX, a transportation company providing rail, intermodal, and rail-to-truck transload services. The award recognized the company's commitment to 'greening' supply chains by shipping via rail, thereby reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, decreasing congestion on highways and conserving fossil fuels.
In 2010, C. H. Robinson partnered with Cascade Sierra Solutions, a non-profit organization that helps motor carriers reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions, by installing U.S. EPA SmartWay technologies to reduce idling and improve aerodynamics. C.H. Robinson provides financial support to Cascade Sierra Solutions and helps promote the non-profit's services to C.H. Robinson's network of more than 45,000 contract motor carriers. In addition, C.H. Robinson has set up a Customer Match Program that matches a percentage of C.H. Robinson's eligible customers' donations to Cascade Sierra Solutions.

Famous quotes containing the word environment:
“Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
