Van Kam Earns SmartWay Certification

October 30, 2024

We’re excited to announce that Van Kam Freightways has officially been recognized as a SmartWay-certified carrier through Natural Resources Canada! This certification reflects our ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental impact and running an efficient, fuel-conscious operation. Being part of the SmartWay Transport Partnership allows us to continue focusing on sustainable transportation while opening new doors to serve our customers better.

What is SmartWay?

The SmartWay Transport Partnership is a voluntary program by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States. It’s designed to help carriers and shippers improve fuel efficiency, lower costs, and reduce harmful emissions. Through SmartWay, companies can benchmark their operations, track fuel consumption, and boost overall performance, all while reducing their environmental footprint.

For Van Kam, being part of this network means joining over 3,600 North American companies dedicated to cleaner, more sustainable freight transport. As more businesses prioritize environmental performance, we’re proud to be on the cutting edge of industry best practices.

Why SmartWay Matters

Environmental responsibility is more than a buzzword; it’s becoming an essential business metric for companies everywhere. Customers are increasingly looking for carriers that demonstrate a commitment to sustainability, and SmartWay certification provides that stamp of approval.

By participating in this program, we can offer our customers reliable, top-quality freight service and the peace of mind that their shipments are moving with minimal environmental impact. It’s a win-win that keeps us competitive and allows us to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace. Plus, it means we’re continuously working to reduce emissions and promote better practices across the entire freight supply chain.

A Step Forward in Sustainable Freight

Van Kam is always looking for ways to improve and grow, and being SmartWay certified is another step toward a more sustainable future. This certification aligns with our values of efficiency, responsibility, and providing the best service possible to our customers.

We’re excited to explore new technologies and practices to help us continue delivering your freight efficiently and with a lower carbon footprint. We know that working together can help make the transportation industry cleaner and more sustainable for everyone.
