Environmental Responsibility

It pays to be GREEN. Trimac Transportation has a long history of involvement in environmental initiatives.  Trimac is committed to protecting the environment for the community, its employees, its customers, and its stakeholders.  Trimac has embarked on several specific initiatives to limit our impact on the environment.

Protecting the Environment
We proactively set specific environmental improvement targets.  Management and employees are committed to conducting our business in a manner that preserves, protects and enhances the environment through our Environmental Protection policy.  

Clean Operations
Corporate initiatives including managing fuel economy, tire management, reducing utility needs, and wastewater treatment recognize the potential impact of our operations on the environment and how we can do our part.

Equipment
Trimac has invested in upgrading to tractors that have better fuel economy as well as working directly with engine suppliers on lower emission engines that reduce soot and particulate matter, as well as lower carbon dioxide and other green house gas emissions.  The focus is on new technology that lowers fuel consumption and air emissions.

Public Safety
In the event of a sudden and accidental spill of product in transit, Trimac's emergency response plans are in place to handle situations, engaging qualified third party environmental consultants, to keep the public safe.

Office Workplace
Sometimes the little things all add up.  Staff focus on office efficiencies that help reduce the waste stream.  Trimac has reduced the number of printers, introduced double-sided printing, and actively recycles print cartridges and paper.  Departments have reduced paper and courier costs by promoting on-line viewing of internal reports.  Even coffee cups are provided, washed and reused, instead of disposable Styrofoam cups.  As a team, Trimac is always looking for ways to limit our impact on the environment.
