“This latest recognition reinforces Ryder’s ongoing commitment to assist
companies by engineering and operating their supply chains with lower
costs, improved transportation efficiencies and reduce environmental
impact,” said Ryder President of Global Supply Chain Solutions, Steve
Sensing. “We are very pleased that Inbound Logistics has selected
us as a Great Supply Chain Partner for the seventh consecutive year as
we will continue to be committed to providing our customers with
innovative solutions and superior execution.”
Ryder was recognized for engaging with customers to help them “green”
their supply chains by focusing on carbon reduction in three critical
areas: network design, facilities and building use, and transportation.
By designing a supply chain network with the reduction of the carbon
footprint as one of our primary focuses, Ryder advises customers on
factors such as the location of distribution centers, miles to be
traveled, amount of inventory, and size and number of facilities
included in the network. For the use of buildings and facilities, Ryder
offers lighting efficiencies, cutting-edge energy technologies,
recycling programs, alternative use of by-products, and other strategies
to reduce waste and carbon emissions. In transportation, customers are
not only able to take advantage of Ryder’s engineering expertise
optimizing shipments, routes, and modes, but can also tap into Ryder’s
industry leading natural gas vehicle program (NGV).
Ryder is the leader in natural
gas vehicles solutions for the commercial transportation industry,
with more than 30 million miles of experience, 17 NGV maintenance
facilities, and more than 3,000 NGV trained maintenance and service
employees.
“Supply chain sustainability has always been top of mind for Inbound
Logistics readers,” said Inbound Logistics Editor, Felecia
Stratton. “In a special "Lean and Green" issue of Inbound Logistics, we
are profiling Ryder as one of the 75 leading companies that our readers
can turn to when seeking green supply chain management and logistics
partners. Inbound Logistics’ editors have determined the 2015

supply chain sustainability. Inbound Logistics is proud to honor
Ryder among this important group of industry-changing leaders.”
