Bison Transport takes sustainability seriously. We are consistently promoting creativity and innovation to drive a sustainable business. We invest in the growth of our people, organization and communities, and embrace our responsibility to the environment.

We’ve been recognized for our environmental sustainability efforts in a big way, and are proud to be a recipient of a 2016 SmartWay Excellence Award for outstanding environmental performance and leadership.

The SmartWay Excellence Award is reserved for the top performing SmartWay partners, and is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s highest recognition for demonstrated leadership in freight supply chain energy and environmental performance.

Bison Transport President Rob Penner accepts the SmartWay Excellence Award.

As one of Canada’s largest transportation companies, Bison understands that we have a responsibility to our customers and society when it comes to delivering environmentally conscious transportation solutions. We invest large amounts of time and energy to be an industry leader when it comes to environmental sustainability.

Sustainability is an important yet challenging opportunity in the trucking industry and at Bison, we’re committed to operating in the most sustainable way possible to keep our planet healthy for generations to come.

Bison is an active member of Natural Resource Canada’s FleetSmart Program, in addition to the SmartWay partnership.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing several blog posts that shed light on Bison’s sustainability-relate initiatives and practices. As a transportation provider, our carbon footprint is almost directly related to how much fuel we burn, and the greenhouse gases (GHG) we emit. The most impactful and effective way for a carrier like Bison to become more environmental sustainable is through increased fuel-efficiency. This blog series will explore many areas of Bison’s sustainability initiatives, technologies and strategies that increase our fleet’s fuel economy and help set us apart as leaders in energy and environmental performance.

This is part one in a four part series on Bison's sustainability efforts. Stay tuned for part two!
