National Retail Systems Recognized by NJBIZ for Green Leadership
HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ (June 15, 2009) - National Retail Systems, Inc.
(NRS), a leading provider of global logistics services to U.S. retailers and manufacturers, has been recognized as a Green Leadership Award finalist for Energy Conservation by NJBIZ magazine, a leading source of business news for New Jersey.
The Green Leadership Awards recognized New Jersey businesses for environmental initiatives and achievements. An independent panel of industry professionals evaluated and judged the nominations.
NRS has designed several efficiency and fuel conservation programs to improve environmental performance. These include: idling reduction strategies; aerodynamic devices to cut down on air resistance; improved tire technology; advanced lubricant technology; engine upgrades; and speed management policies. NRS also has added to its fleet new yard tractors, called switchers or hostlers, that use bio-diesel for lower emissions.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized NRS for its environmental performance above the transportation industry's standard for utilizing many of the most current fuel saving strategies and efficiencies.
NRS's national truckload fleet operated by Keystone Freight Corp. and the company's LTL fleet operated by National Retail Transportation both received the highest possible score of 1.25 during EPA's SmartWay FLEET performance evaluation.
Environmental performance is one of the key metrics in supply chain management, said Ray Wisniewski, President and Chief Operating Officer of NRS. We provide logistics solutions that allow our clients to mitigate environmental impact while maintaining efficiency and quality, he continued. The New Jersey-based company operates an international network of transportation and distribution assets focused on delivering efficient and reliable logistics solutions to America's leading brands.
