Become a SmartWay Partner

What is SmartWay?

The SmartWay™ Partnership is a program sponsored and administered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA describes SmartWay as "a partnership among government, business and consumers to protect our environment, reduce fuel consumption, and improve our air quality for future generations."

There are three partnership categories: Shippers, Carriers & Logistics Providers

Getting SmartWay Certified

In order to apply for SmartWay certification, a shipper, carrier or logistics company must sign the EPA's Partnership agreement. Next, the company must calculate its total emission output as it relates to freight activities (i.e. establish a model). These two steps usually result in SmartWay certification.

Finally, the applicant company must develop an Action Plan outlining a strategy to further reduce emissions by a certain percentage each year. The EPA uses the Action Plan to determine whether a SmartWay partner maintains certification.

Don't Know Where to Start?

We at M33 Integrated Solutions are SmartWay-certified. As a global logistics company, we received the EPA's highest overall rating of 1.25. We've helped manufacturers and distributors of all sizes learn how to measure and manage their transportation-related emissions and develop a workable plan to increase efficiencies. The strategy we co-develop with our clients often results in better visibility and cost reductions across their distribution model. So not only are they able to tout their green credentials to an increasingly eco-conscious customer base, but they become leaner in the process.
