Toronto, May 27, 2024 – Northbridge Insurance is proud to announce that they are the first Canadian commercial insurer to become a SmartWay affiliate partner.
Offered by Natural Resources Canada, SmartWay helps businesses move goods more efficiently, while keeping fuel costs and environmental impact to a minimum. Available at no cost to carriers, freight shippers, and logistics companies of all sizes, it can help them measure, benchmark, and improve operational practices to reduce their environmental footprint.
“At Northbridge, we’ve been helping transportation companies navigate evolving industry trends for over 70 years,” said Brian Mather, Vice President, National Transportation & Logistics at Northbridge Insurance. “We know green freight considerations are becoming increasingly top of mind for carriers, but many fleets don’t know where to start. With our SmartWay partnership we’re able to support our customers as they look to better understand green freight benefits and adopt more sustainable operational practices.”
Through the SmartWay partnership, transportation customers can get access comprehensive tools, training, and resources to help them better understand how adopting green freight best practices can help improve their fuel efficiency, reduce their environmental impact, strengthen their reputation, and better position their businesses for the future.
