Key Category Improvements

• Environment: +10 points
• Labor and Human Rights: +20 points
• Ethics: +20 points
• Sustainable Procurement: +30 points

This growth was driven by initiatives such as setting a five-year goal commitment to reduce emissions with the company’s motor carrier relationships and sourcing sustainable materials for company promotional items.

“Trinity Logistics is pleased to report an improvement from a bronze to a silver medal rating following the most recent EcoVadis assessment,” said Kristin Deno, Operational Risk Analyst at Trinity. “The EcoVadis scorecard shows where we sit currently and highlights areas where we can expand our efforts on the path to sustainability. This annual assessment has been very beneficial to keeping track of our sustainability initiatives as a whole while also helping us find opportunities for improvement, as shown from our 2023 to 2024 rating change.”

As part of the recognition, EcoVadis will plant a tree in Trinity’s name through their partnership with One Tree Planted, further contributing to global reforestation efforts.

Sustainability has been a long cornerstone of Trinity’s operations. Since 2009, the company has been a proud partner in the American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® program, which involves staying committed to improving company performance through community awareness, security, distribution, and pollution prevention.
