Sustainable Practices

As key players in the supply chain ecosystem, 3PLs have a unique opportunity—and responsibility—to drive positive change by integrating sustainable practices into their business models. At FIDELITONE, we believe that environmental responsibility is more than just a trend—it’s a business imperative. And as a supply chain leader, we’re continually seeking new ways to reduce our energy consumption and carbon footprint.

We’re dedicated to creating new efficiencies that provide streamlined, value-added services to our clients while preserving and respecting our environment. Together, we’ll help you create a smarter, more streamlined supply chain for which both your customers and the environment will thank you.

Warehouse and Facility Management

Warehousing and facility management present significant opportunities for 3PLs to implement sustainable practices. FIDELITONE facilities are outfitted with energy-efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems that reduce electricity usage and lower carbon emissions. Within each of our locations we implement recycling programs that prevent tons of materials from entering landfills each year. With millions of shipments taking place each year this results in a significant impact on our environment. Additionally, we utilize sustainable packaging materials contribute to resource conservation and waste reduction.

Optimize Transportation and Distribution

Efficient transportation and distribution lie at the core of 3PL operations. Optimized route planning and consolidating shipments can minimize greenhouse gas emissions and reduce fuel consumption. Leveraging technology such as route optimization software and telematics systems enables real-time tracking and data-driven decision-making, leading to more sustainable transportation practices.

FIDELITONE leverages network planning technology to identify the optimal fulfillment center locations to reduce mileage and fuel consumption. In addition, we can completely eliminate links in the supply chain – which dramatically reduces freight emissions, carbon footprint and costs – by engineering and implementing processes such as drop shipping and supply chain virtualization.

Collaboration with Eco-friendly Partners

Collaborating with suppliers and carriers who share a commitment to sustainability is essential for 3PLs seeking to implement eco-friendly practices. FIDELITONE selects partners with environmental and social responsibility initiatives which collectively allows us to reduce the environmental impact of the supply chain. Furthermore, fostering transparency and collaboration across the supply chain enables shared goals and collective action towards sustainability.

Employee Engagement and Training

Empowering employees with sustainability training and fostering a culture of environmental awareness are critical components of implementing sustainable practices within 3PLs. Providing training on energy conservation, waste management, and sustainable procurement practices equips employees with the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to sustainability goals. Additionally, recognizing and rewarding sustainability initiatives and fostering open communication channels encourage employee engagement and commitment to sustainable practices. At FIDELITONE, we realize our employees are our greatest asset. That’s why we’ve created a Cost Reduction Program that financially rewards employees who come up with ideas to improve our operational processes, while benefiting the environment.
