Prior to becoming a marketing trend and hot media topic, Ryder was adopting "green" designs and processes because they are efficient, cost-effective supply chain solutions that bring value to customers. In addition to being an EPA SmartWay(R) Carrier and Logistics partner, Ryder offers a number of vehicle technologies and supply chain solutions designed to improve overall transportation efficiencies, as well as to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

"We are committed to leveraging our expertise and the latest technologies to help customers execute environmentally-sound operational practices that make them more efficient, agile, responsible, and profitable," said John Williford, President of Global Supply Chain Solutions for Ryder. "Inclusion in the premiere issue of the Inbound Logistics Green 25 reinforces Ryder's position as a pioneer and industry leader in sustainable transportation solutions, products, and services."

The Green 25 feature is an innovative resource designed to provide decision support for Inbound Logistics readers when they are seeking to do business with sustainable providers. The 25 Green Supply Chain Partners will be featured in the August 2009 issue of Inbound Logistics magazine.
