Kenco Logistic Services is Committed to Sustainability

Kenco's Position on Supply Chain Sustainability To be sustainable, we must meet the needs of today yet not prevent the generations of tomorrow from meeting their needs.  We will work side by side with our customers, suppliers, and employees to seek to minimize our environmental footprint, positively impact our society, and reduce costs through sustainable initiatives and supply chain innovation.
Why is sustainability a corporate focus? Simply, it is the right thing to do. Sustainability is important to our owners, employees, and customers.

What are we doing tomorrow? Kenco is exploring alternatives for measuring the carbon (CO2) footprint of our sites.  Leveraging the same disciplines used to drive cost and waste out of our operations, we will seek to lower CO2 emissions from our established baseline.  Other tools being developed for this initiative include a site sustainability audit and a library of sustainability best practices.
