CHEP, a global provider of supply chain solutions, has received Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine’s Green Supply Chain Award. This is the seventh year CHEP has received the honor, which acknowledges companies that are making sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy. The award also recognizes companies working across their customers supply chains to achieve measurable sustainability goals within their operations in the areas of sourcing/procurement, fulfillment/logistics and operations.
CHEP platform solutions are used and reused or ‘pooled’ among retailers, manufacturers and throughout the supply chain which provide inherently sustainable benefits to their customers.

CHEP engages customers across the supply chain to identify opportunities to improve their environmental sustainable impact by helping them transport goods more efficiently, sustainably and safely, and by assisting them to meet sustainability goals and reduce their impact on the environment.
“We appreciate receiving Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine’s Green Supply Chain Award for past several years and are committed to increasing our sustainability solutions across the supply chain for the benefit of our trading partners, both retailers and manufacturers, as well as our transportation partners,” said Dan Martin, Senior Vice President, CHEP USA.
