Protecting our planet
At AIT, we cultivate sustainability in logistics by partnering with our customers to build supply chain solutions that reduce physical impacts on the planet.
Internally, dedicated teammates oversee emissions, waste, and energy management processes and programs, including a companywide commitment to recycling and paper reduction.
Shrinking our clients' carbon footprints—and our own
As a signatory of The Climate Pledge, our goal is to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2035 via emission reduction practices and “insetting” solutions to decrease or even eliminate emissions before they occur.
We use our global transportation management system to track and measure carbon dioxide emissions down to the shipment level and, when needed, we take part in offset solutions to reduce shipments’ carbon footprints.
We've also partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Administration as a SmartWay program member since 2007.
Monitoring climate disruption
To offer truly sustainable logistics solutions, we continuously track supply chain disruption caused by extreme weather events related to climate change, running risk analysis and preparing disaster recovery measures to ensure AIT’s offices and warehouses are ready to serve our customers—no matter what nature has in store.
