OSM renews carbon neutral certification

GLENDALE HEIGHTS - OSM Worldwide, the fifth-largest nationwide parcel shipper for e-commerce and direct-to-consumer packages, Tuesday announced the renewal of its CarbonNeutral company certification.

This renewal, in accordance with the CarbonNeutral Protocol, showcases a continued commitment to sustainability throughout the organization, OSM said. To achieve CarbonNeutral certification, OSM worked with Climate Impact Partners, specialists in carbon market solutions for climate action.

"We have been experiencing tremendous growth over the last several years, which - for a shipper - means an increasingly higher volume of parcels and packages moving via traditional over-the-road transport methods," said Gaston Curk, CEO of OSM Worldwide. "We're cognizant not only of our position in the shipping and logistics ecosystem, but of our responsibility to improve our carbon footprint wherever possible. Our business intelligence tools allow us to track progress and identify areas where improvements can be made."

OSM is reducing its emissions as much as possible, focusing on internal efforts to reduce energy consumption and materials usage, the company said. In addition, OSM optimizes data to ensure operational efficiencies.
