Committed to sustainable logistics

In the U.S., freight transport accounts for more than 16 percent of corporate greenhouse gas emissions, making it one of the largest carbon footprint contributors. This represents a challenge to the logistics community, but also an opportunity. We can and will do better.

SalSon will continue to do our part, investing part of our profits to capitalize on new strategies and technologies that help get products to market quickly, economically and sustainably.
