Edgewell Personal Care Receives SmartWay Excellence Award from EPA

Edgewell Personal Care has received the SmartWay Excellence Award from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as an industry leader in freight and supply chain environmental performance and energy efficiency.

Edgewell was one of 18 shipper companies to receive this distinction, representing the best environmental performers of SmartWay’s more than 4,000 partners.

Edgewell earned this recognition through its deliberate efforts to better optimize and manage distribution. Per the company, 94% of Edgewell’s US shipping by volume and distance was completed by US EPA SmartWay carriers during FY23 (versus a peer average of 80%). Additionally, Edgewell says it works to maximize truckloads and consolidate shipments to reduce the number of trucks going to any one customer – thereby making fewer, fuller journeys and reducing the total freight miles traveled.

“Optimizing our logistics is an important focus of our business strategy and also helps to advance our sustainability objectives,” said Amy Knight, vice president of global sustainability. “Being recognized as one of the top environmental performers for our operations is a meaningful moment for Edgewell and illustrates how sustainability can be a true business enabler.”
