ROMEOVILLE, IL (December 18, 2024) – RJW Logistics Group, Inc. (“RJW’ or the “Company”), a leading provider of retail logistics solutions for consumer-packaged goods companies, announced today that it has received Progressive Grocer’s 2024 Sustainability and Resource Conservation Impact Award. RJW is recognized for prioritizing environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts as part of its core business strategy, and for extending these ESG supply chain solutions to advance their customers’ sustainability goals.
RJW’s strategic commitment to cultivating business practices that minimize its footprint empowers customers to reduce their environmental impact and achieve a greener supply chain. Through its proven strategic inventory management, retail consolidation program and green transportation initiatives, RJW is effectively eliminating inefficiencies across its operations. For example, a single RJW consolidation truckload replaces an average of 33 complex, multi-stop LTL shipments – drastically reducing the number of trucks on the road and minimizing environmental impact. These efforts streamline warehousing, reduce unnecessary stops and lower carbon emissions per load. As a result, suppliers realize sustainability gains, reduce operational costs and increase scorecard performance.
The company is also an EPA SmartWay Transport Program partner. Through this program, RJW reduces carbon emissions, decreases diesel fuel consumption and improves freight transportation efficiency. RJW also prioritizes and invests in the health and age of its fleet with aerodynamic, fuel-efficient, recent vintage trucks that contribute to a more sustainable logistics operation. Its state-of-the-art facilities are LEED-certified and equipped with motion sensor lighting, skylights and battery-operated equipment, while its recycling program for corrugate, wood, paper and plastic averages 180 tons yearly across its network. Additionally, RJW’s datacenter utilizes green power, saving approximately 718 kg of carbon output monthly.
“This award recognizes our continuous commitment to creating ESG solutions that benefit our customers and the planet,” said Kevin Williamson, CEO. “Our sustainability initiatives across transportation, facilities and inventory management empower our customers to exceed both operational and environmental goals.”
