Hub Group earns railroad honor

OAK BROOK - Hub Group said that, for the third year, it has been named an EcoConnexions Partner by Canadian National, one of the largest railroads in North America.

This recognition is based on Hub Group's environmental and sustainability initiatives, both in its intermodal and cargo operations and in its headquarters building.

"Hub Group is committed to sustainability and we appreciate CN's acknowledgment of our contributions," said David Yeager, Hub Group chairman and CEO. "With services like intermodal, freight consolidation and network optimization, we're able to help our customers reduce their supply chain carbon footprint and will continue to be at the forefront of these efforts in our industry."

In 2020 alone, Hub Group helped its customers reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3.2 billion pounds by truckload to intermodal conversion, the company said.

This commitment to sustainability extends to Hub Group's Oak Brook headquarters, which has environmentally friendly design components, including energy-efficient lighting and daylight and rainwater harvesting.
