  • 2008 Smartway Excellence Award Recipients Shippers HP
    SM 2008 SmartWay Excellence Award Recipients Shippers HP Palo Alto, California-based international technology company HP has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the goals and principles of the SmartWay Transport Partnership. Since joining in 2007, HP has made compliant its surface transportation supply chain for U.S. and Canadian commercial and consumer accessories, desktops, printing and imaging devices, monitors, notebooks, thin clients, servers, and storage products to 100 percent SmartWay Carriers--- a commitment unparalleled to date in the SmartWay program. In addition, the company has committed to other efficiency measures, such as shifting transport of its notebook computers to ocean freight from air cargo, saving 4,000 tons of CO2, and shipping 17 percent of its imaging and printing products in North America via highly efficient rail transport. To further reduce the greenhouse gas footprint of its operations, the company has redesigned the packaging for its notebooks to reduce the size and weight of each box through such innovations as lighter, recycled cardboard internal packing and digital reference materials. This measure reduced package weight by 8 percent, increasing the number of boxes per pallet by 25 percent. This equates to more pallets per truckload, and ultimately fewer loads and resulting emissions. All told, these projects have reduced CO2 emissions by more than 36,000 tons, with even greater reductions projected for 2009. Kimberly-Clark Corporation Noted as the world’s leading producer of personal paper products, Knoxville, Tennessee-based Kimberly-Clark Corporation has demonstrated its leadership as a SmartWay Shipper. In just one year, Kimberly-Clark has increased its shipments with SmartWay Carriers by 14 percent to an outstanding 89 percent of all shipments.
