“Being recognized as a G75 Green Supply Chain Partner for two years in a row underscores our steadfast commitment to integrating sustainable practices throughout our operations,” said Lindsey Graves, CEO of Sunset Transportation. “We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint and providing eco-friendly solutions to our customers and business partners.”

Sunset leverages its partnership with Highway to advance shippers’ sustainability goals by streamlining compliance processes. This partnership enables shippers and carriers to collaborate in measuring, establishing benchmarks, and reporting emissions, thereby improving freight efficiency and environmental performance within their supply chain.

“We’ve invested in the Highway platform, which actively monitors carriers’ certification statuses and renewal dates for various sustainability programs, including the EPA-backed SmartWay program, of which Sunset has been a member since 2004, the Air Resources Board Equipment Registration (ARBER) system, and the California-focused Air Regulations Board (CARB) system,” said Graves. “Highway provides automated verification, auditing, visibility, and compliance data, ensuring that we source partner carriers who meet the rigorous and unique sustainability requirements of our shippers on a load-by-load basis.”

Additionally, Sunset Transportation provides customers with monthly emissions reports, detailing emissions per location, by carrier, load count, and identifying opportunities for carbon reduction. Internally, Sunset utilizes energy-efficient lighting and windows in all locations, and practices paperless freight payment, as well as carrier and customer accounting processes.

Sunset’s recognition as a 2024 G75 Green Supply Chain Partner reaffirms its proactive approach to sustainability.
