SC Johnson Wins EPA Recognition, Receives SmartWay Excellence Award

SC Johnson received the 2014 SmartWay Award for freight supply chain environmental performance and energy efficiency from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. One of the 11 companies from the shipper and logistics category of the award, SC Johnson also won the recognition in 2012 and 2013. EPA’s SmartWay Excellence Awards program recognizes the top 1 percent of the agency’s more than 3,000 freight supply chain partners. According to the agency, transportation accounts for almost one-third of greenhouse gas emissions and uses about two-thirds of petroleum-based fuel in the country. EPA launched the program in 2004 as part of its efforts to minimize the sector’s impact on the environment.
