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:
“We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking to crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.”
—Viola Spolin (b. 1911)
