FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 28, 2010
Port of Charleston Named Top Green Supply Chain Partner
Inbound Logistics magazine has named the Port of Charleston to its annual
Top 50 Green Supply Chain Partners (G50) list.
The magazine’s editors selected transportation service providers in several
categories for demonstrated commitment to supply chain sustainability.
Charleston was one of only five ports selected for the honor, which is
featured in the magazine’s June 2010 issue.
“The Port of Charleston is proud to be recognized as a leader in
environmental practices,” said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the South
Carolina State Ports Authority (SCSPA). “In working with our partners and
customers on a host of voluntary programs that save money and reduce
impacts, we have demonstrated that environmental sustainability can be good
for the environment and the bottom line.”
In a notice to the winners, Felecia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics,
said they picked companies and organizations that are “truly ‘walking the
walk’ when it comes to commitment to supply chain sustainability.”
In addition to more than $12 million in land, water and community projects,
the SCSPA has partnered with the state’s environmental regulatory agency
and 23 private companies and associations on two federal grant projects to
reduce port-related air emissions. This work, which totals more than $5
million through EPA grant funds and nearly 50 percent in local matching
funds, include various projects to retrofit equipment, replace engines, use
cleaner fuels and reduce emissions from port equipment, trucks, tugs and
other harbor craft.
The Port of Charleston’s efforts earned the EPA’s national Environmental
Justice Achievement Award in 2009 and were recognized by the Southeast
Diesel Collaborative earlier this year. The Port’s “Pledge for Growth”
environmental program has won the 2009 American Association of Port
Authorities’ Environmental Improvement Award, the 2009 Environmental
Stewardship Award from the Maritime Association of South Carolina, as well
as several other awards.
The mission of Thomas Publishing’s Inbound Logistics is to provide
logistics managers with the information they need to speed cycle times,
reduce inventories and use logistics expertise to get closer to their
markets and customers.
