NILES - AFN Logistics, which serves the needs of major manufacturers, top-20 retailers and best-in-class carriers, announced today the company has won a 2016 Supply & Demand Chain Executive "Green Supply Chain Award."

It's the publication's ninth year of the program, which recognizes organizations that leverage sustainable supply chain solutions and practices.

Of the nearly 200 submissions received, AFN was acknowledged for its role in helping a retail customer slash shipping days per week. The result reduced CO2 emissions, total miles driven and the number of trucks on the road, for which measures were taken on a weekly basis comparing the old routing parameters against the new that AFN implemented.

"We view the implementation of sustainable practices as being aligned with AFN's purpose of continuously improving lives through supply chain solutions," said Owen Schnaper, COO. "In addition, it simply makes good business sense by reducing unnecessary shipments, ship days and miles."
