The sustainability commitments of The Northwest Seaport Alliance have earned Inbound Logistics magazine’s 75 Green Supply Chain Partner honors for the second consecutive year.

One of eight U.S. port authorities selected, the NWSA was recognized for its efforts to reduce seaport-related emissions through the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy and find innovative solutions to manage stormwater runoff.

The alliance achieved a 95-percent reduction in stormwater zinc and copper at rail terminal operations; and reduced diesel emissions 47 percent from trucks, 51 percent from trains, and 88 percent from ships.

The trade magazine honored 75 organizations from various trade sectors, including ports, trucking companies, railroads, shipping lines, freight forwarders and air cargo carriers.

This is “a carefully curated list of 75 companies that go above and beyond to ensure their global supply chains are sustainable, and that their operations are socially and environmentally friendly,” according to the magazine article’s introduction. “These companies have spent years developing and implementing best practices to ensure the footprint they leave on the world is a positive one.”

The complete list of honored partners is featured in the magazine's June issue.
