DeWitt Move Worldwide has joined the SmartWay® Transportation Partnership, a program through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Additionally, due to the company’s usage of SmartWay-certified carriers, DeWitt Move Worldwide earned certification as a SmartWay Logistics Company.

Registration in the SmartWay Partnership allows DeWitt Move Worldwide to track the current environmental footprint of their operations, including emissions and fuel use from the partners that DeWitt Move uses to carry freight.

“As a Southern California-based company, DeWitt Move Worldwide is keenly aware of the environmental impact of the transportation and logistics industry. Reducing our footprint is a priority for us, and the SmartWay program offers us powerful tools to choose carriers with a similar commitment.”
– President John Burrows.

Overall, the EPA estimates that the SmartWay Partnership has saved 336 million barrels of oil, $44.8 billion on fuel costs,143 million metric tons of CO2, 2.7 million short tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 112,000 short tons of particulate matter (PM). This is equivalent to eliminating annual energy use in over 21-million homes. The partnership currently has nearly 4,000 partners including shippers, logistics companies, truck, rail, barge, and multimodal carriers.

Launched in 2004, this voluntary public-private program:

  • Provides a comprehensive and well-recognized system for tracking, documenting and sharing information about fuel use and freight emissions across supply chains
  • Helps companies identify and select more efficient freight carriers, transport modes, equipment, and operational strategies to improve supply chain sustainability and lower costs from goods movement
  • Supports global energy security and offsets environmental risk for companies and countries
  • Reduces freight transportation-related emissions by accelerating the use of advanced fuel-saving technologies
  • Is supported by major transportation industry associations, environmental groups, state and local governments, international agencies, and the corporate community

There are three core components of the SmartWay Program.

The SmartWay Transport Partnership

Freight shippers, carriers, logistics companies and other stakeholders partner with EPA to measure, benchmark and improve logistics operations so they can reduce their environmental footprint.

The SmartWay Brand

Through SmartWay technology verification and branding, EPA has accelerated availability, adoption and market penetration of fuel-saving technologies and operational practices while helping companies save fuel, lower costs and reduce adverse environmental impacts.

SmartWay Global Collaboration

EPA works with a broad range of national and global organizations to harmonize sustainability accounting methods in the freight sector. SmartWay also provides support to global policy makers that wish to model transportation sustainability programs after the SmartWay program.

Corporate responsibility and community contribution are values that run deep within the family of DeWitt’s sister companies, which operate in more than 100 countries. The DeWitt Companies are long-standing contributors in the moving and transportation industry, as members of the International Association of Movers (IAM), the American Moving & Storage Association (AMSA), and the California Moving & Storage Association (CMSA).

“As an international moving company with family ties and strong roots in California, we believe in giving back on both a local and a global level. SmartWay offers us yet another avenue to contribute through environmental leadership. We’re honored to achieve certification this year, and we’re committed to continuing to reduce our environmental footprint by leveraging the SmartWay program.”
– President John Burrows.
