2007 SmartWay Excellence Award
Sharp Electronics Corporation is the U.S.-based marketing and sales
subsidiary of Japan's Sharp Corporation, a worldwide developer of the
core technologies that are integral to shaping the next generation of
home entertainment products, appliances, networked multifunctional office
solutions, solar energy, and mobile communication and information tools.
Sharp Electronics Corporation has made procedural changes such as
strict pick-up scheduling and expedited border crossing (FAST Track)
to help reduce idling. To reduce their emissions further, they increased
use of intermodal shipping, made loading facility improvements by installing
motion sensors and energy-efficient lighting, and instituted preventative
maintenance on their forklifts and loaders. As a result of their many
outreach activities, they have recruited over 20 SmartWay Partners to
date.
“As a Global Company, we at Sharp Electronics know that it
is our responsibility to be both community-minded and environmentally
aware. We feel that the SmartWay Transport Partnership is a key success
factor. The concept of bringing Shippers & Carriers together with
the common goal of reducing greenhouse gases is creative and helps us
to achieve our environmental strategic goals. This is why we became
a member in 2004 and plan on continuing our involvement into the future."
