PeopleNet® (www.peoplenetonline.com), a Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) Company and leading provider of fleet mobility technology, received a Supply & Demand Chain Executive 2017 Green Supply Chain Award, recognizing the company's sustainability efforts in the transportation industry.

"At PeopleNet, we are committed to efficiency in every sense of the word, helping to make our customers, industry and roads safer, greener and better. Our technology gets drivers to their destination quickly and safely, while also reducing mileage, fuel consumption, and emissions," said PeopleNet and Trimble Transportation Mobility president Brian McLaughlin. "We are honored to accept the Green Supply Chain Award as we continue to help fleets integrate sustainable solutions for increased efficiency and ROI."


The Green Supply Chain Award recognizes companies making sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy, and are working to achieve measurable sustainability goals within their own operations and supply chains. The awards also recognize providers of supply chain solutions and services assisting their customers in achieving measurable sustainability goals.

Twenty-nine percent of greenhouse gas comes from transportation. PeopleNet's vision is to help equip fleets with technology to improve fuel economy and engine efficiency, as well as streamline navigation to decrease miles driven, all resulting in greener transportation.

This year's 10th-annual awards recognize small, mid-size and large enterprises that leveraged green practices and solutions to further drive sustainable improvements in their supply chain.

"Honorees for this year's award demonstrate that corporate social responsibility is a business imperative that transcends the company and extends throughout the supply chain, involving suppliers and customers," says John R. Yuva, editor for Supply & Demand Chain Executive. "The number of entries only increase year over year, demonstrating how critical sustainability initiatives are within companies."
