The receiving & shipping personnel are instructed and encouraged to remind drivers to shut down their trucks, as required. 2) A great many (approx. 50%) of Inscape s supplies are delivered to Inscape via McArthur Express. 3) Inscape s Supply Chain Management (SCM) group is continuously reviewing material procurement and changes to the EOQ procurement system, which allows for fewer deliveries, resulting in lower procurement costs, freight costs and emission expenditures. To date SCM has moved 10 vendors / commodities in this direction. 4) Inscape s Logistics department is currently working on reviewing the routing process for its city truck which handles daily deliveries and pick-ups in the greater Toronto area. The plan is to fully understand locations and the frequency of these events to consolidate the number of deliveries and pick-ups. Inscape has not measured the environmental impact of inbound and outbound carriers. The primary carrier of inbound and outbound transportation at the Holland Landing, ON facility is McArthur Express, a 3rd party logistics company. Inscape s recognition of the benefits of the EPA Smartway program during this dialog process has encouraged McArthur to join the EPA Smartway program themselves. McArthur is now a SmartWay Partner and uses both its own internal fleet and also contracts with 3rd party carriers for inbound and outbound transportation services. Inscape has undertaken direct communication with McArthur Express to communicate Inscape s environmental initiatives. Through this process, Inscape was directly responsible for the establishment of a McArthur carrier criteria list which communicates McArthur s preference for carriers who are EPA Smartway certified or who have installed fuel efficiency technologies on their vehicles.
